A Lovely new Vintage Fair !!!


Just wanted to share my visit to a lovely new Vintage Fair today!! It was at Hatton Park Village Hall, Hatton Park, in Warwickshire, and all organised by one of my blogging friends, Amy, of blightyboutique.blogspot.com/ 
It was her first fair, and we were all looking forward to it immensely, we were not disappointed!!!


It was a lovely, light, bright hall, and on entering, it was full of the buzz of preparations for the fair. 
It was like going to meet family, a lovely friendly atmosphere, as I knew a lot of the stall holders there 
from the Northampton Vintage Fair.
 Here is what we saw : )






This is Jo's beautiful stall of hestanesta.blogspot.com/  I adore those eiderdowns, and love the way they 
are displayed on the vintage stepladder! Also, she has some adorable vintage textiles.




Lots of beautiful handmade cushions, doorstops, and pictures on this stall. So bright and colourful, and love 
the fabrics chosen. I can definitely see some of my favourite Cath Kidston designs here!! I'm afraid I didn't get
the names of everyone, but will update you as I can.






Lovely clothing, jewellery, and china on here, to name but a few goodies!! Also, is that a 'Spirograph' I can see in
that basket? I used to love 'Spirograph' !!



All of the items on this stall are renovated items of furniture, or made with
reclaimed wood. Gorgeous rustic Vintage crates, cupboards, and signs, all ready to go to their new homes!! ( Will have to visit here again when I move next year!!!)



This is Linda's stall (of Tabbyroo blog) . I love her cushions decorated with Vintage images. Also what a good idea, the crocheted doyley bunting.




Scrummy homemade cakes to tempt you!! These were sold to help the local 
NMC appeal.It all looked fantastic, with waitresses in matching 40's style tea dresses, with white lace trimmed aprons, and tables covered in Pink polkadot tablecloths with vintage china - It looked beautiful!


Sorry about this pic, but you get the idea!!! : )





There was a talented artist at the fair. The picture on the bottom left is of David Tennant of Doctor Who fame. Wish I'd not got a reflection on it : (



I would love one of those tea trollies!!


This lady made some pretty Vintage styled jewellery.


I will definitely be seeing this stall next week! It belongs to Ann of
Vintage at the Corner House. Ann & Trevor organise the Northampton
Vintage Fair, and next week the fair will be going to Olney, Buckinghamshire.
It's a really pretty poster that they have designed for this, and we are all looking forward to meeting again. Hope to see you there, a great Vintage fair, a lovely market town with lots to see, and do, a great selection of eateries  too - why not treat yourself?!!



All in all I really enjoyed today, a great location, great fair, and it was obvious
that Amy, and her family, and friends, have put a lot of time, and effort into today's fair!! It was really busy, and a great success!! I can see it happening again soon, it certainly won't be the last, I don't think!! 
  
WELL DONE AMY !!!!! : D

What lovely stalls, wish I was a bit closer to visit.

I remember my spirograph set and how upset I was when I lost the teeny tiny one.
