STOCKPORT VINTAGE VILLAGE

I went to Stockport Vintage Village with my arty/crafty goggles on this month as opposed to vintage wardrobe ones and look what I came home with

A nifty little case to use as a display unit. I am going to be putting another shelf in it like the little box crate peeping out at the bottom.  

I picked up the cluster pearl buttons, bakerlite pin box, threads, mats and this collar box as well as lots of quality cotton hankies at an amazing 50p each. Yes I do use them. No tissues for this girl.

The cut glass bowl is MASSIVE and is a perfect craft container

AND only cost £3.

I've got some ideas for the tins bought from 

Pat & Matthew of A Vintage Affair. You can find more about them on their Facebook page A VINTAGE AFFAIR

 The ideas are still in the research and development stage yet.

 

The fabulous retro hankies came from the lovely Gail of Essentially Eagle. 

She knew I used them and saved them for me.

Here's Gail's Facebook page ESSENTIALLY EAGLE VINTAGE

Aren't they gorgeous.  I'll be matching them up with my outfits haha.

NEW DESK ACCESSORIES

Look what I did with these beauties, again from 

Pat & Matthew of A Vintage Affair. 

All this for less than the cost of a Valentine's meal out and much more fun.

Better give these two dapper chaps a mention.

Don't they look fabulous. Pity you can't see the wool patchwork waistcoat Philip is wearing, its stunning.

We didn't even make it to The Vintage Emporium at Pear Mill this time as we were having such a lovely day chatting to every at Vintage Village.

It's a great day out.

What's on my workdesk today .......

 Just time to tell you before I make my way to my desk 

that we found these great rusty pieces for the garden

while we were playing out at Vintage Village Stockport 

and The Vintage Emporium at Pear Mill

Now I can't stay long as I need to prepare for 

the last of the Safety Pin Bracelet Workshops.

I will show you the pics next week.

There's cakes to bake and desks to look round

 so hope you all have a good week. See you then.

LAMBRETTA, VESPA or another boring ISA ?

 Deep discussions went on yesterday at the fabulous 

Vintage Village Stockport www.thevintagevillage.co.uk

on whether to ditch the Kawasaki motorbike in 

favour of a more sedate Lambretta or Vespa.

 While Mr Dapper Chap pondered over the situation we watched the lovely traders receive their awards for favourite traders of the Vintage Market. 

 Among them our friend Pat of Vintage Affair.

A VINTAGE AFFAIR

Pat & Matthew sell gorgeous crockery at reasonable prices.

  More pondering, this time on whether to invest 

in another ISA or blow it on a Vespa

 All that talk of scooters left me in the need of cake, so it was a quick five minutes down the road to the Vintage Emporium for a quick fix.

I am going to be trawling the charity shops in search of odd chairs to give my kitchen the same homely feel as the Emporium's tearoom
