In the days running up to Monday 21 January, when President Obama was being sworn in for a second term, all sartorial talk was about what colour and designer the First Lady would be wearing.
When the family emerged on inauguration morning, all eyes were focussed on Michelle – mine were distracted by the fabulous coat, scarf & glove combos sported by the Obama daughters – they’re growing into such elegant & beautiful young women! Apparently their coats are from Kate Spade and J.Crew.
A couple of weeks ago we blogged about our preparations for taking part in our first ever vintage fair. We put together a vintage fair check-list to make sure that we didn’t forget any of those essential bits & bobs.
Two weekends ago, on a gorgeous, sunny Saturday, we had a stall at the Vintage Home & Fashion Fair in Victoria Hall, Saltaire.
Our good friend Duncan came along for moral support and to lend a hand.
It was lovely having the opportunity to meet customers & other vintage sellers face to face… something missing when you mainly sell online like we do.
Last Saturday, we set up shop again, in our home town of Todmorden for the Treasure – Vintage Fair meets Handmade event.
Another gorgeous building hosted the event – this time it was Todmorden Town Hall.
Beautiful inside too – look at that ceiling!
Back to the setting up…
…there’s Adelle – ready to meet, greet and share in the vintage loveliness…
…and here’s a closer look at some of our wares!
We’ll be returning to the vintage fair scene in the autumn – hopefully see you there.
No, don’t worry, this isn’t some kind of weird x-rated blog post!
We’ve been preparing for our vintage fair début for the past few weeks.
We’ve made our felt bunting…
…sewn some of our vast collection of vintage buttons onto card…
…made our tags…
…and have turned our spare bedroom into a vintage fair waiting room – packed to the gills with gathered goodies!
If you’re in the area, we’ll be at:

Both events start at 9.30am – come down and see us – we’re sure they’ll both be great days out!
