SPARKLING IN THORPE BAY!

Had an absolutely sparkling day at DOTTY SPARKLE'S VINTAGE AND HOMEMADE SUMMER FAIR last Sunday!

Set in a lovely, bright Art Deco era hall, the sun was out and so were the good folk of Thorpe Bay, making it a very memorable day.

This was my first stall at this venue, having only visiting before as a punter, so I was really looking forward to it. The setting and the music being played were just perfect for a vintage fair. The decorations, posters and the Coronation Café, with their vintage magazines and newspapers, were really nice touches and attention to detail.

Great to see people really taking an interest in my work and was very pleased to sell one of my new BEACH BABES range.
There were lots of footie fans around as my RETRO FOOTBALL were selling fast as well. I even sold a classic 1970s West Ham mirror, which was going to be a Father's Day present for one lucky Hammer!

I can't wait to be back there for the next fair on September 16th, see you there!!

Fantastic sign welcoming you in!

Entrance to the hall, with the lovely Deco details.

View of inside the hall, what a lovely bright space!

Tempting treats at the NAAFI!

Vintage mags and papers at the Coronation Café.

ECO HUB REPORT!

Had a fantastic time last Saturday at the FASHION & ARTS FAIR held at the Eco Hub!

And what a great venue, the lovely renovated Victorian stables are now super modern, eco-friendly business premises. Special thanks to Amy George for tirelessly organising a great day, and also her army of leaflet and poster distributers!

I was nestled amongst some very talented people on the day. So was a great experience to be part of such an event. Amazing accessories, photography, knitwear, delicious cupcakes and a great range of vintage clothes all on offer.

Look out for future events here, as this is an ideal venue. Now for a few piccies.........

Here is the Eco Hub!

Nice and stylish attention to detail on the building.

The stable doors are now a modern, sleek grey.

The Eco Hub is tucked away next to a church, check out the sculpture as well (not the table!).

Here was my stand for the day, lots of vintage inspired bargains!

This was the Prize Draw prizes, wow, who did that Beach Babe picture??!

MARVELLOUS MALDON REPORT!

Had a fantastic time yesterday at the BETTY BLUE EYES HANDMADE & VINTAGE FAYRE in Maldon!

It was extra exciting as it was the first ever BETTY BLUE EYES event in the marvellous town of Maldon.
Held in a beautiful Victorian church hall just off the High Street, I had a lovely space to display my work. And the sun shone all day!!!

Perfect weather then to show off my SEASIDE SPECIALS pictures and cards! As always my RETRO FOOTBALL range caused quite a buzz and I even met the niece of a rather famous ex-football manager!
Very pleased my brand new fridge magnets proved popular as well. I'll be producing even more of these in the future, so keep a look out!

Was a brilliant day all round and thanks to the good folk of Maldon for popping in and saying hello!

I now can't wait for the next visit there!

The fantastic poster for the fair!

Another fabulous poster!
