As well as our usual Saturday pitch at St Gregs, we will also be doing the Little Vintage Lover Fair at Heydon,  Norfolk on Sunday (2nd Aug).  I was going to take some photos of some stuff we were taking but Tracey has already started packing and I daren’t disrupt things by unpacking..

Needless to say we will as always have too much stuff, not enough space or coat hangers and have our usual early morning blazing row…but I’m sure it will great fun as was the last one.  It will also be great to catch up with new friends and grab (fingers crossed) loads of vintage bargains.  So if you get a chance please come and see us!!

Have been really busy for the past week… summer in full swing with loads of stuff to do and people to see..

We’ve been finding the most amazing stuff seem to be on a real roll at the moment….clothing, textiles, books etc and had no time to write about any of it…  but hopefully will make time this week

I arrived home earlier today and Tracey had displayed some of her sewing finds in an ideal photo oppurtunity.

We have had quite a few requests for a nice and easy to follow Snood pattern..  This free crochet pattern is from our collection and dates from the mid 1940’s…

Its available to download here Free Snood Crochet Pattern

Just a few of the nicer finds from yesterday…

Couple of 1920s Handbags, Perfect Condition

Limoges enameled brooch/pendant

1935 Silver Jubilee, embroidery..

Any wannabe Bond girls??

Its the same every year, around February, March we start getting crazed for Vintage Prom dresses.  Every year June/July time the moment prom season is almost over, we find a stunner!  It would make sense to save them up and have prom dress extraganza for the following year, but we never do!  Last night after a busy day hunting Tracey arrived home with this beauty………  Keep it till next year….you must be joking

This week amongst our regular haul, we came across some childrens stuff..  These two pieces are so cute we just had to share.

Tiny 1950s St Michaels floral cotton dress, I would guess it would fit a two year old.

Cute 1950s knitted cardigan with matching knitted cloche skull cap again should fit a two year old.

Have loads of remnants of Vintage fabric form the 1950s, 60s and 70s.

We have used a selection of these to make these mini skirts which are available to buy now through our etsy store
