Causing a storm all over Facebook this week, the beards are hand crocheted and cost £10, with 10% going to Prostate Cancer Charities. <br />

There are photos on twitter, and 'Pops' graciously allowed me to share then here <br />
<br />
We wish you both the best of luck with your new little girl, and thanks for joining us for such a special occasion<br />
<br />
If you'd like to hire the tearoom for an event, please contact Angie at themarvellousteadancecompany@yahoo.com or tweet her on @tmtdco<br />

You might know already, but we won two prestigious style awards on Thursday evening, including the award of the night, Most Stylish Shopping Destination, beating massive, well established shopping areas. <br />
<br />
We're delighted to have won, as these awards are voted for by the public. We didn't realise until the night, but Grazia magazine were also involved in short listing the finalists for Best Vintage Boutique, showing that we're being noticed by the fashion elite!<br />
<br />
Here's some photos from the night - there are more on our Facebook page at <a href="http://facebook.com/birdsyardpage">http://Facebook.com/birdsyardpage</a> so why not log in, like us, and see some more!<br />

The choice was hard for the first product of the week, but I've decided on these hand illustrated plates by GX2 Homegrown. As featured in You magazine as a 'work of art you can eat off'<br />
<br />
Priced at only £15 each, with matching bowls and mugs also available. <br />
<br />
See her etsy shop at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/gx2homegrown">http://www.etsy.com/shop/gx2homegrown</a> for more items including cards, moleskines and one-off pieces<br />

At first she shared a shop with Kee Boutique but eventually scaled down to a cabinet due to her busy home life not giving her much time to work in the shop. <br />
<br />
Now she works one full day a week as well as balancing having three children. We don't know how she does it!<br />
<br />
Her hats can be found <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/parlourmilliner?ref=seller_info" target="_blank">on etsy</a><br />

So here's a round up of my faves<br />
<br />
Sophie Adamson had her beautiful jewellery in before, but now she's brought in this horse head! We all love it, it's covered in swarovskis and took 11 weeks to make. Bit of a bargain at £200 I think<br />
<br />
Ruby Shoesday makes the most lovely messenger bags for £15 - I just had to buy one!<br />
<br />
Finally Parlour Milliner has been crocheting head warmers again. At £12.50 a pop it's worth it to keep your ears covered <br />

They're bold, statement jewellery, and almost always black (and if not, they're grey or white).<br />
<br />
Her infamous piece is the 'crow' necklace, with pvc spikes emanating from a collar, and most of her work uses leather, pvc or jersey - but recently she's started making pieces out of laser cut perspex, and they're just as sculptural.<br />

<br />
Before what was two shops is being made into LOADS meaning we can offer much more space than before! <br />
<br />
There are also new ways of working with us - so if you've been in touch before about selling, and found nothing which suited you, why not try again? We're tweaking the system to suit everyone involved so just try us. <br />
<br />
Also we're running a competition to paint the front and side of our building. We've had some absolute belters of entries so far! <br />
<br />
So if you want to work with us, either by submitting an entry for a painting the front of the building, selling things with us, or even just using your talents in some other way, then please tweet us at @birdsyard or email michelle@birdsyard.co.uk and lets work together!<br />

<br />
Here are some photos Pesky took so you can see what it's really like at a photo shoot - although I'm guessing most shoots don't have crumpets for everyone, mums hanging around finding umbrellas, and plastic lobsters on loan. We like to do things a bit differently at the yard, so we piped in the Glen Miller and poured out the tea!<br />

<br />
Every week we'll now be giving you the latest news from each of our permanent shops! For our first post, let's reintroduce you to everyone, and where you can find them in the building.<br />
<br />
<b>Bird Shell </b><br />
<br />
All the amazing vintage couture items from the boutique on the top floor are now available to hire as well as rent! So if your budget can't justify that incredible dress for that special occassion, just hire it! You'll also find all the independent designers who used to be on the ground floor.<br />

Have yourself a bit of refreshment before seeing the rest of the shops by stopping in at the vintage style Marvellous Tearooms - they share space on the ground floor with some of our independent designers, and if you haven't seen it yet, you simply have to come and look at how they've decorated! <br />

The current team is so enthusiastic about everything, it's hard to keep a lid on it sometimes!<br />
<br />
We had a staff meeting this morning (sorry of you tried to get in and we were talking - we're a bit excitable some days) and have elected new heads of departments. It occurred to us that it helps other businesses, so why not ours?<br />
<br />
We haven't got boring departments though - our favourite one so far is 'market awareness' which will keep us ahead of the game with new creatives in the area, and 'cool hunter' which is looking for interesting people who come in our shop. <br />
<br />
Our next event will be the student party which we're deciding on a theme for. What theme would you have for a party?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02695907238651098038noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7887291314279173523.post-36053061956572053822012-05-31T13:10:00.001+01:002012-05-31T14:22:52.602+01:00Searching for new birds for our nestWell, after two years, things are getting busy for Bird's Yard and we find ourselves in need of some help, so we have some fantastic opportunities. <br />
<br />
1. Saturday part time retail work in Birdshell vintage boutique. We're looking for someone with the following skills<br />
<br />
- ideally a retail background<br />
- interest in fashion, particularly vintage but also high fashion and mixing the two<br />
- interest in style<br />
- friendly personality<br />
- good communication skills<br />
- ability to work as a team<br />
<br />
This position will be a paid opportunity, with rates to be discussed. <br />
<br />
2. Intern positions<br />
<br />
We're searching for summer interns with the following personalities<br />
<br />
- interest in retail, design, branding, creativity and events<br />
- ability to work as part of a team<br />
<br />
The skill areas we're particularly looking for are<br />
<br />
- website design, including maintaining, redesign and maybe even building apps for smart phones<br />
- online retail eg building and maintaining a shop<br />
- marketing and advertising <br />
- social media such as twitter, pinterest, Facebook etc<br />
- event planning<br />
- visual merchandising inc window dressing<br />
- general personal assistant responsibilities, such as organisation, communication and problem solving<br />
<br />
This is an unpaid opportunity, but as you'll be working closely with the shop you'll be there on the ground floor for new opportunities when they arise, and we can give references, and the kind of advice and opportunities money just can't buy!<br />
<br />
This would be perfect for someone wanting to open a shop of their own, or someone looking for something for their cv or college course<br />
<br />
To apply for either of these positions, please email michelle@birdsyard.co.uk stating which position you're interested in and what qualities you can bring to the shop. <br />
<br />
We look forward to meeting you all!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02695907238651098038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7887291314279173523.post-23583872759052165802011-12-21T15:23:00.000+00:002011-12-21T15:23:30.770+00:00The Bird's Yard 12 days of Christmas - first half!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7uQQmx9of1U70ig37R1IjSPNDOKFkCpot6t9VMx4yHeNWoNVudD8WM9glsS-U4j7-DwzB0ppda70jWShNapxZeEwLSRlWVW-J2pOg7w_VXCzXB5DIyHLXCIyBnJU7UUhyvkEscfd8gdem/s1600/376087_10151044543570437_597485436_22020448_1518551274_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7uQQmx9of1U70ig37R1IjSPNDOKFkCpot6t9VMx4yHeNWoNVudD8WM9glsS-U4j7-DwzB0ppda70jWShNapxZeEwLSRlWVW-J2pOg7w_VXCzXB5DIyHLXCIyBnJU7UUhyvkEscfd8gdem/s320/376087_10151044543570437_597485436_22020448_1518551274_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

We are really sad to say that out of 10 advertising banners we put up on Saturday afternoon, there are now only 3 left. The rest were stolen by mindless people over a period of 3 nights (3 on Saturday, 3 on Sunday, and 1 last night). This is the equivalent of stealing £500 from our purses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are a small independent business and, like many others, are trying to find ways to save money while still advertising our amazing shop. We want to let everyone know about our shop, which promotes independent retail in Leeds. It's a collective of over 60 designers, and offers a static space for many people to sell their wares. Our tenants put so much hard work in to their products and we are really trying to move Bird's Yard forward.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are the 10 beautiful banners we put up on Saturday night: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
These banners were put up to highlight the amazing independents we have in our store and were placed in this spot on Kirkgate to encourage people walking to and from Leeds City Bus Station to venture down to Bird's Yard and discover what we have to offer. As of today (Tuesday), this is what it looks like:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We are so disappointed that this has happened to us, especially at a time when we were moving forward and helping to keep Leeds' independent retail scene alive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
However, we will now try to make a positive out of a negative and will be using this to increase awareness of the shop and of the independent retailers in Leeds. Please help us name and shame these people who have stolen these banners and ruined a fantastic opportunity to promote everyone in Bird's Yard. We have already contacted the police about this matter and they are doing everything in their power to help us. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
What you can do is to tell as many people as possible about this crime and make it known that we will not let this get us down. Please help us by using the power of the internet - Facebook, Twitter, Blogging - to make this into a positive for us. Please also feel free to comment on this post and cause a bit of a stir. Independents need people to pull together and support each other, thank you to everyone who has supported us so far.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We hope you can help.</div>
