We had an absolute blast at our first event at Rheged, Penrith, Cumbria. Over 950 shoppers filled the halls to pick up a vintage bargain. As ever fair manager Sarah B and I did a spot of shopping before the doors opened. Here's a little selection of what we found..
I snapped up this very pretty 1950s Horrockses dress for £50 - I'm building up quite a collection.
This lovely little 1970s Dorothy Perkins maxi was a steal at £38, in pristine condition. I accessorised with one of the fabulous Karina's bags, hand made from leather direct from Mulberry.
Sarah B will be going all 60s this A/W so she snapped up this cute shift and will decide at a later date which shoes to work it with.
Sarah also picked out these amazing patent boots from Russell and Bromley for a mere £30. Excited!
However, look what was waiting for me at the carboot sale this week! Admittedly, it doesn't have the knife and fork hand, but it is still delightfully kitsch.
Not only is it cute as a button, but here I shall relay the conversation that took place which meant it had to come home with me:
If I had the dosh I would certainly make an offer!
