Leamington Spa Fair

I had a stand at discover vintage fair (www.discovervintage.co.uk ) in Leamington Spa on what turned out to be the hottest day of the year. I didn't think we would do that well because of the weather but I had to eat my words as it was well attended with a steady stream of visitors coming through the doors. The fair was held in the Old Pump Rooms, the most beautiful of settings. There were lots of lovely stalls and as you can see from the picture above I did my fair share of shopping!

More pics from the fair - my stand was almost bare by the time we packed up!

Vintage Fair in Stamford

Had a fabulous day today, we have been to Stamford in Lincolnshire to the Discover vintage Fair. Stamford is the most beautiful town set in lovely countryside with a wealth of independent shops - such a refreshing change rather than the chain shops that dominate our high streets full of mass produced rubbish! I had the whole of the stage to myself to set up my stand and decided to go the whole hog on the display. Of course Mr & Mrs G had to be involved complete with bottle of vintage 1937 Bollinger (sadly not able to be consumed). The top picture is hubby playing with the panoramic setting on his Iphone (clever isn't it?) We had a fabulous day and really enjoyed meeting everyone. I sold the vintage Deco wedding cake stand to a lovely lady who is getting married in December - I am so glad it went to a bride to be where it will be a lovely centre piece at her wedding reception. We are both shattered this evening, but it was a great day out, and we did really well, coming back with considerably less than we took. Hope you are all having a relaxing weekend xx.
