A Vintage Affair...

It is no secret I am fan of all things vintage and I have been lucky enough to go to two vintage fairs in the last month. There are so many stalls full of jewellery, clothes, crockery and home ware- not to mention singers and dancers providing entertainment. For only £1 admission the atmosphere is fantastic and bustling with a variety of people. I really would recommend going to one if a fair pops up if your area, they are great for something different in your home. Below are a few of my favourite vintage pieces...

Love jewellery stands stacked with loads of necklaces... more the better. My top tip is to put plaques and signs on there too for a great effect.

 

 

Picked up this cute washing-up liquid apron from a vintage fair for £3- never seen anything like this before!

Metal shirt clips add a twist to any boring shirt, even used them on my spring mac. Bought from a vintage fair for £2.

 Most recently I have really got into making my own handmade cards. Not always the most vintage designs but its nice to make them personal for each occasion. Here a few of my first designs ready to be personalised...

 

 

What I love about vintage items is that anything goes. Any colours, any designs, my rule is I will only buy it if I have never seen anything like it before or if its something that I think is really clever (like the washing-up liquid apron). There are lots of homemade items out there these days it really doesn't have to cost a lot to make your house a little different.

 

Keep posted for my next blog on some vintage Easter treats :-)
