Isn't it great when the sun shines? Even more so when it's the weekend ! Well today it was lovely, sunny, and was the day of the Northampton Vintage Fair!!
As I hadn't a stall there today, I was looking forward to meeting lots of friends, a bit of Vintage retail therapy, and coffee & cake in the tea room.
Come and have a look round with me before the crowds arrive.....
First of all is the lovely stall belonging to 'Vicki Loves Vintage'. A varied selection of her pretty vintage makes including cushions & lampshades, also plenty of gorgeous china!
No prizes for guessing who this belongs to!! Yes, Karen was there too with her beautiful crocheted, and handmade lovelies!!! I adore this cute banner she has made!!
I really love this little tray of cute crocheted cosies!! That little vase is so sweet, and love the rosy tea & egg cosies! Karen, you are so talented!!
Now to Amy's stall from Blighty Boutique. Some lovely glass & utility ware, and isn't that little blue cash till cute?! (Like the rosali too, Amy!)
Here's a scrummy corner of Hesta Nesta's stall. That gorgeous pink boa looks really 1920's & decadent!! Love it : )
Some pretty china, and linens from Ticklepenny Vintage. Love the set of rosy tins, also spent ages with my friend searching through her great selection of buttons!!
I adore these Lloyd loom shelves, also the contents too. This was part of Ann's stall from Vintage at the Corner House. Her stall is also the first one shown on this post.
This lovely old bike helps display some of the pretty handmade goodies of Lindsey from Elsie Sparrow. She attends the Northampton Bicycle Bazaar regularly, and what a lovely idea for a stall with a "difference!"
( I did ask her, but no, she didn't cycle there today!)
These knitted, and crocheted beauties are from Sarah of Sarah Carol Makes. There are some more of her makes below.
Don't you just love these tea cosies & knitted bunting!! You could almost eat those liquorice allsorts, and that fruit!! There really are some talented crafters here today!
These were the lovely vintage & retro offerings from Wend of Ticking Stripes. Lots of boxes to rummage through of fabrics & haberdashery too. Has anyone noticed the pink paisley eiderdown hiding right in the bottom left hand corner......., well I loved it soooo much, it had to come home with me!!! Will post pics soon : ) I have wanted one in pink paisley for ages, and here it was!!
What wonderful finds on this one!! My favourites are the 4 coloured cups & saucers in the middle what beautiful colours! This vintage retail therapy certainly beats walking round a boring shopping centre any day!! You never know what you will find! These all belong to Linda of Tabbyroo.
I love these little vintage image cushions from Linda too, what a great idea!
This is Philippa from Court & Spark blog. She makes a gorgeous colourful selection of pretty hearts, bunnies, flowers and cushions from a lovely range of vintage, and new cottons (including Liberty lawns!)
A lovely way to use them, is on an Easter tree, like the one above, what a lovely idea!
Well, as you can see, there was plenty today to tempt all the Vintage, & retro fans. The above stall was a great one, but I have forgotten who it belongs to! (Shame on me!!!)
It was a great day, a great event, and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting my blogger friends, it has such a lovely friendly atmosphere here, and is quite a social event!! Hope you've enjoyed looking round with me, and if you fancy coming along, the next one is on Saturday May 21st.
(In case you'd wondered, I will still be doing my Blogiversary Giveaway, but what with being really busy, and other matters, it is a little late.....ahem !!!
I hope to post about the lucky winner very soon.)
