A GREAT DAY AT THE FAIR !!!!!

Yesterday was the 3rd Northampton Vintage & Homemade Fair, and what a great day it was!!! It only started a year ago, and has established itself as 'the' Vintage event of the area!!
Fortunately I did have a bit of time before the event started, and took a few pics. The one above is my stall, and now let me show you a few of the others!

This was my next door neighbour's stall, Vicky, of 'Vicky loves Vintage'. She has a lovely selection of vintage and handmade, as you can see. I really love her vintage cushions, made from a gorgeous combination of Vintage fabrics!

I loved this stall too, can't remember the name, but I know the lady's name is Carol. Lots of vintage, and some of the most beautiful knitted & crocheted items. A friend of mine bought one of her wonderful tea cosies,allotment themed, and it was decorated in little knitted vegetables, such as carrots, leeks, onions & beetroots. It was gorgeous, and I'm sure the recipient will love it!!

This is Lindsey's stall 'Elsie Sparrow'. It is full of vintage & handmade prettiness! You can't see it too well, but behind these lovely makes is an old 'sit up & beg' vintage bike! She uses this at the Bicycle Bazaar, at Northampton Fishmarket, every last Saturday of the month!

A pretty little corner of Hesta Nesta's stall.Her blog is Hesta & The Pugs .Hesta Nesta has some absolutely wonderful vintage finds, and I love to read her blog. I'm so sorry I couldn't photograph more at the time.

This was Ann's stall, of Vintage at the Corner House blog. Ann is one of the organisers of the fair, and you could spend just ages browsing at her beautiful stock!!

... and here is some beautiful china, and glassware of Ann's : )

The other organiser, Debbie, of Home Thoughts from Vintage Wants blog, had another wonderful selection of vintage goodies. She's a very busy blogger, as she also has a unit at the Northampton Antique Centre too. The gorgeous eiderdown in the basket at the front of the stall caught my eye!!

Another lovely stall, which I'm afraid I don't know the name of!!

All in all, it was a busy fantastic day! I met quite a few lovely blogging friends, Wend of Ticking Stripes blog, Debbie from Dreaming of the Simple Life, Amy from Blighty Boutique, her mum too, of The Felt Fairy blog, to name but a few! I just wish I could have taken more pics.

There were lots of other stalls too, and it was a really friendly, successful event. It was as much a social occasion, as a fair!! It was great to meet up with blogging friends, customers, family & friends, just wish I'd had more time to speak to them all for longer!!  

The next fair will be in the spring, date to be confirmed.
