Feeding my love of vintage...

Today we went to a vintage fair at Leeds met SU and it was lovely! It was run by the people who do the one we normally go to in Sheffield, and they didn't disappoint!

Their vintage fairs are so well organised and laid out, and everything's so lovely. They even run a little tea party with gorgeous mis-matching cups and saucers and cupcakes (so yummy!). I had a raspberry cupcake with crazy blue icing as always and it was so tasty!

I saw so many things that I wanted to buy and a LOT of things I couldn't afford (the joys of running Lily Bones) :')
I am very happy with what I did buy though; I got a blue vintage handbag and it's so lovely, a smaller brown bag/clutch type thing which looks very old and worn and it's so nice, and a gorgeous pair of boots which are exactly what I've been looking for for ages! (I'll post pictures when I've taken them). We went into town after and I also bought the Grinch on DVD because Mike's never seen it and he NEEDS to, as well as a new white bandana :) It's been nice today :)

If you want to check out dates for the vintage fair you can find them here:

I've also got the email address of the lady in charge of the vintage fair so I'm going to email her very soon about getting a stall with them, it would be so amazing if we could. I'm also going to email 'Culture Vulture' (a shop in Leeds) about getting a place for our 'stuff' in their shop; I've loved that shop since I was 14 so to be able to get our 'stuff' in there would be such an achievement!

This week we've sold 2 pairs of 'city lights' earrings, 2 rings and a pair of 'pretty little lady' earrings.

The girl who we sold the ring to was on a photoshoot the other day and she wore our ring and she said she had 4 different girls come up and ask her where she got it from! So proud!

That's all for now, I'll get these pictures posted now as Mike's very kindly taken them for me :)
