Yesterday was the September Bicycle Basket Bazaar. It was lovely and sunny and the Fishmarket was full of people enjoying the atmosphere. I bought some pretty yellow brushed cotton fabric from Job and Frances and a lovely little dog mirror from Lindsay at 'Elsie Sparrow'.
Today was The Affordable Vintage Fashion Fair at the University. I had never been to one before but it is great if you like vintage clothes. I bought a lovely little Barbola mirror,some pretty 1940s paper lanterns, a lucite flower brooch and one of the lovely old 1930s annuals that I have a weakness for. I really like the colour pictures they have on the covers as well as some of the colour plates inside.
Today was the Birthday of my good friend Deb of 'Home Thoughts From Vintage Wants' and also of Annie from 'Birdcages and Butterflies' , so many happy returns to both of you. I hope you have both had a lovely day, I know Deb has been at work all day but is off out this evening for a very nice meal. I also thought I would share some pictures of a few of my recent finds. I had every intention of putting them by for the vintage fair but the little tin is definitely staying and has already found a home on my kitchen dresser as has the flapper perfume bottle. The barbola mirror is very pretty with no damage apart from a split in the plasterwork and the boudoir doll with a felt face reminds me a little of the one in the window of Liberty which I showed in my last post. I often buy things for my Etsy shop or website and then live with them for a little while and find I don't want to part with them ! I guess that's the problem with always buying things that I like myself.
