As a lifelong lover & collector of all things vintage, it was a natural progression to set up my own business one day which I did in 2010, as an antidote to a dull day job to give me something to pour my passion & creative energy into.
My business name of Wake Up Little Susie links my clothing business with my love for Rock 'n' Roll music that started my whole love affair with all things old, interesting & glamorous, and fits perfectly with my trademark vintage nightwear!

Following redundancy in 2014 (after 24 years - yikes!) I took the opportunity to make my little business my full time living, and whilst it has been hard work, it has also been incredibly rewarding and has helped my confidence & led to many new friendships.

I sell at local vintage fairs & events in Norfolk, I host my own Vintage Nightwear Parties & Pop-Up Vintage Lingerie Boutiques as well as showcasing the best of my lovely stock on the catwalk at my own fashion shows, through photo-shoots and online via social media (find me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!)
Setting up an online shop was a natural step upwards, and I love how Etsy has connected me with customers & fellow vintage lovers from all over the world.

I enjoy personally sourcing out beautiful items (as well as parting with the occasional beauty from my personal collection...) and love the idea that every vintage item has it's own history & story, and by finding the perfect home for a piece, I am starting it off on another journey where it will be loved & appreciated all over again.

Vintage nightwear & lingerie and it's part in social history has always fascinated me and has evolved into my speciality - helping you to stay glamorous 24/7!
