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.

You can download it here (it’s in PDF document) if you’re thinking about getting into doing craft/vintage fairs.

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.
