WHOS BEHIND THE LITTLE LENDING CO. : Living with my wonderful hubby and two cats Tinky and Arlo in Norfolk, The Little Lending Co. is a small, home business born after we tied the knot back in 2013. With heaps of collected, unique pieces I knew there would be other couples who would enjoy creating a casually styled day with some of my finds. My background in Fashion design has trained my creative eye and now I find myself drawn to anything a little bohemian, authentic and cool in the world of weddings.
I hope you enjoy our little site.
