Sheffield Vintage Fair, May 15th 2010

We ventured up to Sheffield last weekend for yet another vintage fair, and had a lovely time. It was a beautiful sunny day, but thankfully people didn't mind ducking out of the sun for a few minutes to check out our wares! We were next to the fabulous Pop My Cherry, with their amazing range of patterned tights, and The Vintage Revolover, with a fantastic selection of clothing, and we had lots of fun. Thanks to everyone who came along and met us! Here are a few pictures from the day.

Birmingham Vintage Fair, 6th March 2010

We were pleased to be back at the Birmingham Vintage Fair this weekend. It's nice for us to do a fair on our home turf as we don't have to get up at the crack of dawn to get there! It took place at the Old Library in The Custard Factory. Such a beautiful spring day really seemed to bring out the vintage fashionistas - at one point people were queueing for around 40 minutes just to get in the door! Thankfully it was worth the wait, as there were so many fabulous stalls inside. Here are some of our photos from the day-

The vintage hungry crowds get to the rails!

Our lovely neighbours for the day.

Sylvia and her man looking dapper in some choice vintage pieces - the dress drew a lot of attention, while our man mannequin had 4 or 5 costume changes as people wanted to buy the clothes off his back!

The Vintage Fair is coming back to Birmingham in June so we will hopefully be back for another great day. You can find out more at The Vintage Fair

Bristol Vintage Fair, Feb 21st 2010

We were off on our travels again last weekend, down to the lovely west country city of Bristol. It's a fabulous, vibrant place, and the location of a Blind Lemon Vintage Fair. It's actually only the second vintage fair we have done, so we were quite pleased with how our stall looked, with our mannequin Sylvia in a stunning fifties dress, our trusty long mirror and fabby new banner!

The morning was very busy, with lots of people enjoying a rummage in the rails and bargain bins!

We were loving the retro 1960's vibe of the Anson Rooms, the main hall of Bristol University Students' Union. Amazing chandeliers and a very cool sweeping staircase up from the lobby, just the thing to complement the vintage vibe!

We did a little shopping too, picking up some ace vintage buttons that are just crying out to become earrings, and I treated myself to a super duper Welsh themed tote bag from Plump Pudding, made from original vintage fabrics.
Our next vintage fair is in Birmingham on March 6th, and we can't wait! Maybe see you there?

Our First Ever Craft Fair at RAF Cosford

So, this Sunday saw us get up at an ungodly hour to travel to RAF Cosford, in Shropshire. Why on earth would we want to that? Well, don't worry I'm not about to confess some tragic passion for vintage aeroplanes or anything... it was the venue of a Spring Craft Fair, and an interesting venue at that! We pitched up at a little after 8am to discover that we would actually be setting up in a hangar among the planes (they are museum pieces, by the way, otherwise we really would be getting in the way!) It was a nice opportunity for me to show off our new food themed rings, fittingly displayed on a cake tray. They certainly raised a few laughs!

Here is me (waving) and my sister Elise who had been roped in to help out.

We had lots of new pieces in for the event, which will be popping up on the website very soon...

This is Mr Mouse, ready to serve!

And one of the many, many planes we saw on the day!
