Don’t let the cold snap put you off our lovely fair tomorrow, in the main Square in Shrewsbury town centre…..9am-5pm. I have new things to show you, including little plush elephants now in the softest cuddly plush, in pastel shades just perfect for spring; opal mint, lavender and cucumber….They look adorable and feel just amazing. Some nods towards Valentine’s Day, including cards and hearts and ideas for Easter and Mother’s Day too. So if you’re about, then do come and see!

To get you in the romantic mood, here’s a vintage fabric elephant – in pink. Happy Valentine’s!

This weekend is going to be busy, with two lovely events at which to start thinking about your Christmas gifts! I know….it seems early, but there’s no harm in picking up a few pieces early, spreading the cost and making sure you have that perfect present! Tomorrow, Saturday the 5th of October, I shall be in Ludlow’s town square for the Made in Shropshire fair, from 9am-5pm. And then Sunday, the 6th, it’s Vintage Escapades at Woore Victory Hall, Woore, Cheshire, from 10am-4pm. Lots of goodies to be had at both and it’s going to be a lovely, warm weekend too, especially on Saturday for the outside event! I hope to see you at one or both!

I’m looking forward to this, and we are hoping that we will have waved goodbye to this dismal weather and said hello to some sunshine in time to enjoy Crafty Vintage in Bishops Castle, Shropshire on Saturday 6th April. It’s a handpicked selection of fabulous vintage sellers and amazing crafters, plus tea and cakes too, of course. Open from 10am-4pm at the Auction Hall on Station Street. It’s a small town, you’ll find us…near the bottom of the town. Spot the bunting outside! I look forward to seeeing you!

Father Christmas comes to Woore!

Don’t forget, it’s the very LAST Vintage Escapades handmade and vintage fair of the year, tomorrow, Sunday 2nd December! I can’t believe it’s December already. I opened my first advent calendar window this morning (it was an owl, if you want to know, behind the window flap, and the calendar is a vintage 1960’s one that I found, totally brilliant and snowy and nostalgic). Anyway, see you tomorrow! I have a lot of lovely things to show you. Pear of Peas tearoom is open, with special mince pies, brandy snaps and Christmas puddings. And Father Christmas is arriving at 11am! Splendid! 10am-4pm! Woore Victory Hall, Woore, Cheshire.
