Remember to come along to Hatton Village Hall, Warwick on 3rd November! The Blighty Fair will feature vintage clothing and craft stalls!
I will be hosting my own stall selling 1930’s, 40’s and 50’s clothing and accessories from my private collection, homeware, 50’s magazines and retro shoes.
I am also doing some live singing, so pop in for a cupcake and gander. You may find some great Christmas gifts too!
Please come and give your support at this amazing craft and vintage fair organised by Blighty Boutique. I will be selling some of my large collection of 1920’s, 30’s, 40’s and 50’s clothing and accessories that I would love to go to good homes.
I will also be singing some festive tunes and 1940’s hits in the daytime, so stick around for a cup of tea and cake too!
Yesterday Mr. Mew and I went to our 1st ever vintage fair to SELL rather than buy. The fair was at a pub called The Vic in Swindon and we packed up my clothes, shoes, bric-a-brac, pincushions and Mr. Mew’s light boxes and headed for the open road. Itw as a nice venue actually, and we were well situated by a plug point so that we could plug in the light boxes.
They certainly got a lot of attention! Unfortunately people seemed to be drawn to stalls with large 80’s jumpers and 70’s handbags as opposed to 1940’s and 50’s wear. We ended up only selling a few things, but had such a good time that we didn’t care!
At 1.30pm I went onto the stage for my singing set. The stage was also covered by one of the clothing stalls, but amidst the faux fur coats and a basket of hats, I belted out a selection of festive crooners and 40’s hits in my blue Heyday dress!
At the back of the room, the landlord/ one of the pub workers was filming the scene and posted a video on You Tube. 20minutes after my set they had laready put on some more festive tunes and on came a female voice. I said “oooh! I know that song, that’s the one I do!”…not realising I was actually listening to myself!
I will be selling a selection of vintage clothings, repro clothing and pincushion tea cups at The Vic in Swindon on 18th December 2011! They are hosting a Vintage Fair & Tea Party from 12 – 4pm with free admission!
