There are two Fairs coming up at the end of May which I will be taking part in, starting on Thursday 24th May at Avington Park (at Itchen Abbas just outside Winchester in Hampshire) with a wonderful Decorative Antiques Fair promising all sorts of beautiful things for the home and garden. Thirty dealers in all will be selling their wares, both inside and out. Entrance fee is £5 and refreshments are available on site. I've not done this Fair before, but it sounds like a lovely day out! Open 9.30am - 4pm
Then on Saturday 26th May the return of the ever popular Vintage and Handmade Fair in Chipping Sodbury, South Gloucestershire. A veritable cornucopia of all things gorgeously vintage and handmade! Loads of exhibitors, loads of variety, the best of its kind! Entrance fee is £1, doors open at 10am and the Fair ends at 4pm.
So with both fairs within two days of each other I've been busy making stuff to bring along, such as these decorative hair grips, made from lovely old buttons, ribbon and fabric 'Suffolk puffs'
Also 'Inspiration Packs' of vintage fabric, thread, buttons, ribbon, lace and paper ephemera; little project bags really, designed to get you inspired to create something unique!
Then there are bundles of lovely old fabrics, tied up with a tag of vintage buttons and a puff or two...
and packs of original old documents, papers and stickers, all individually printed and arranged for you to enjoy card-making, scrap-booking, collaging.....
As well as these I will be bringing along some choice antique pieces, including an iron painted cot bed, vintage clothing, beautiful glassware, old frames, boxes and much much more......
I really hope you can make it along!
