Sutton Vintage and Arts Fair Summer Special

Wow what a busy weekend! Yesterday I traded at the fantastic Sutton Vintage and Arts Summer Special.  It was a brilliant day, I had the chance to meet lots of new customers and some of my Facebook followers and it was also a great chance for me to showcase some of my new stock.  I also managed to sneak away from my stall to check out some of the other traders and I will be blogging about them later on in the week.  I have added some picture of my stall.  

Lots and lots of new badges

Tonnes of new vintage stock, updates on ASOS soon

Arm Candy

Flower Headbands and Brooches

One of my bestsellers this weekend were my new customised t-shirts.  They were very popular and I will be making lots more this week and I will hopefully have them on my ASOS Marketplace in the next week or two.  In the meantime you can contact me through Facebook if you would like to order.   So far I have worked on three designs; hearts, bows and a peace sign.

What do you think of them? I am hoping to produce more styles for Summer.  What type of applique design would you like to see?

Vintage Fair Update

Just a quick post, hope you have all had a good weekend, I have spent most of today on the sewing machine.  I have a few vintage fairs coming up in the next few weeks so I have been really busy working on new ranges of stock.  Today I have been making lots of tote bags using vintage materials.  Here is one of them and they will all be available on my website in the next few days.  I would love to know what you think of them.  

Handmade Tote Bag - Made using vintage fabric lots coming soon. 

My next fairs are in Blackpool, Erdington and Sutton Coldfield.  I really cannot wait as I have lots and lots of new items to sell.  I will post the details of each below.  

My next fair is in Blackpool, it is the first time I have traded at the event and it sounds fantastic over 100 stalls, a vintage tearoom and live entertainment.  The event is being held on the 23rd and 24th June in the Pavillion Theatre, the events Facebook page has lots more information.  

After that I will be trading at the Highclare School Summer Celebration in Erdington, Birmingham.  

The event is being held to celebrate the school's 80th Birthday and the Queens Jubilee.  The event will also have a funfair, donkey rides, funfair games, food stalls and a Pimms tent so it is a real family day out!  If you would like more information, head over to their Facebook page.  

On July 1st I will be trading at Sutton Vintage and Arts fair.  I uploaded a blog on this event a few days ago and it really is fantastic.  Over 80 stalls, live entertainment and cupcakes and it is only £1 entry.  The Facebook page has lots of information on the event.  

If you live near any of the events it would be lovely to hear from you or see you at the event, Laura xx

I am so excited as there are only just over 3 weeks to go until the fantastic Sutton Vintage and Arts Fair in Sutton Coldfield Town Hall on July 1st.  We have traded at this event since it began and it is the most fantastic way to spend a Sunday.  

Crowds of shoppers in the main room

With over 80 stalls it is Birmingham's biggest fair and it really has something for everyone.  We find that most traders spend the whole day browsing the 80+ stalls and we quite often see customers early in the morning and then later on in the afternoon after they have had a delicious cupcake to recharge and taken in some of the entertainment which is on throughout the day.  

On the cupcake note make sure you arrive early, they are so delicious and popular they are usually sold out before 2pm! 

There is always a crowd for the fair and we always have returning visitors.

Vintage hair styling and make-up is also available at the fair. 

Something for everyone at the fair - stuffed full of goodies from over 80 traders.

I have added some photos from previous events, if these don't tempt you nothing will! Entry costs £1 and the fair is on from 11-5pm.  You will quite literally find everything your heart would desire in the three rooms, vintage fashion, accessories, interiors, art, and stationary to name but a few.

Sutton Vintage Fair - Sunday April 1st

Sorry I haven't updated the blog for a while I have been super busy getting ready for the Sutton Vintage Fair Easter Special.

Entrance to the fair costs just £1 and fair is stuffed full of vintage clothes, accessories and jewellery, crafts, homewear, a delicious cake stall, a fabulous fashion show and much much more.

This is by far our favourite fair, and it is without doubt the best in Birmingham.  The queue to get in usually stretches right down the road and most people spend all day scouring the stalls for some fantastic bargains and one off finds.  If you would like any further information join the Sutton Vintage Fair Facebook Group.  Hopefully see you there x
