lost property finds
I had some fun finds this weekend. I can never resist an interesting book, particularly those full of helpful advice. The AA Members Handbook from 1963 will keep your car running, whilst Girls Growing Up will keep your daughters on the straight and narrow! Meanwhile, Ward Lock's Wedding Etiquette will make sure you don't make a faux pas at social gatherings - and it has a fantastic pink and white strip cover.
I also came across this sweet little toy ironing board, made by Triang, and a lovely Woods Ware teapot.
The Cadbury's chocolate tins are also great fun. The tin on the left is in the shape of a stack of books, all Charles Dickens titles. And I've not come across the Roses tin before - the design hasn't changed a huge amount over the years, but the colourful flowers are really pretty.
Most of these will be on my stall at the Stamford Jubilee Vintage Fair tomorrow!

lost property finds - jubilee edition
Summer has arrived and I'm in such a good mood! It's amazing what a difference blue skies can make. This weekend is the Vintage Fair Jubilee Garden Party in Northampton - I'm all packed and ready to go!
I've even found a few jubilee-themed items for my stall. Amazingly, I've come across these all this week.
There are two coronation glasses (I love the blue) and an unusual biscuit tin. They'll both be joining me at the fair.

emerging from hibernation
Hello there! I've missed this space, and after a busy couple of months can finally check back in. There's been lots going on - most recently a couple of vintage fairs. I'm really enjoying the fairs - lots of lovely people and amazing vintage goodies. I managed to resist buying too much at first, but gave in this weekend!
Yesterday was the Olney fair in Buckinghamshire. I'd heard good things about this one, and it didn't disappoint. The beautiful old church hall was packed with stalls and customers.
My favourite item on my stall was this gorgeous vintage picnic set. It was bought as a wedding present, so I'm pleased it has gone to a good home. Just peaking into the left of the picture is a fab 1950s atomic coat rack, which I am tempted to keep!
Last weekend was the Oundle fair. It had been pouring with rain for a couple of weeks before, so I was a bit worried people wouldn't want to leave the house, but thankfully the skies were clear and the fair was busy all day.
I brought along a rail of clothing for the first time.
Next up is the Jubilee Garden Party at Northampton on 26th May, followed by the Stamford fair on 2nd June.

my first vintage fair
That was a lot of fun! The vintage fair on Sunday was a success and I learnt a lot. I can't wait to do more next year.
Here's my stall, prior to a few tweaks. I set it all up on the dining table the day before, but needless to say it looked completely different on the day! The biggest item I sold was the globe, hiding under the table in the photo. S and I spent half an hour one evening comparing the names of the countries against the history books, and dated it to the 1930s/1940s.
Now I just have to unpack it all...

lost property finds - off to the fair
It's been a bit quie round here recently, and that's because I'm buried undernearth piles of boxes, preparing for my first vintage fair!
It's today (Sunday, 27th November) at Victoria Hall in Oundle, Northamptonshire. Drop by and say hello if you are in the area!
As well as some finds previously talked about here, I'll be bringing lots of new things. Including the Oxo tin above, and the accurately named 'little forks' below.
And if that wasn't enough, lost property vintage is now on etsy! More on that soon, but please have a look around.
Wish me luck!
