We start each new market season with a brand new stall set up, which is great fun to work on. At the moment I am being very taken by the colour scheme of gold with pastels. I am loving a bit of shimmery gold set against a flat pastel colour. I have been collecting images in Pinterest and will start putting it all together soon. Here are some images from my ideas Pinterest board (all links to images in Pinterest ). Enjoy!
