The Blind Lemon Vintage Fashion Fair,

 The Blind Lemon Vintage 

Fashion Fair

I had the pleasure of attending the Blind Lemon Vintage fashion fair recently in Swansea.

It was founded in 2005 in Pembrokeshire and has now developed into s series of Vintage Fashion Fairs across the Uk. It is run by Edwin Dyson who is based in Bristol.

I only took a few photographs as one had to try on loads of cute 1950's outfits and look at all the lovely treasures.

Lots and lots of jewellery. 

Maroon hat. 

Really cute 1950's floral print dress.

A plethora of pretty printed dresses, skirts and shirts.

Grey spotty and yellow floral dress.

Heart shaped teapot.

Jewellery detail.

Floral fabric.

Blue and white swimming hat.

Would love the looks if I turned up on the beach with this beauty!

Yellow swimming hat.

Black and gold  dress.

Red and yellow dress detail.

blue and white pinafore dress.

Gold dress detail.

Brown shoes.

I have a passion for old magazines.

 Particularly love this fun cover on the magazine Courier.

I was in a world-wind rush going around.

Chatted to some lovely people, tried on some lovely clothes and took a few photos.

I did rather well,even though I was so so so tempted to buy more. 

I  brought the cutest vintage red floral skirt.I haven't worn it yet but I think I actually might wear it today.

I am now looking forward to the next vintage fair now.

The Vintage Fashion Fair,

The Vintage Fashion Fair is coming again this Sunday to Swansea for the third time, Yippie. 
Thought it was time to show you more photographs from their last visit to get you in the mood. It was so exciting entering the beautiful old Brangwyn Hall full to the brim of delectable vintage clothes.

Rails and rails of jam packed vintage clothing.

What a dream, what a buzz, So loved it!

Tables full of treasures.

So loved this green horse jumping cravat.

Loads of coats.

Loving all these patterns, have such a soft spot for them.

I'm sure you can never have enough handbags!

Notice the cool maroon and pink hat at the top!

These vintage bags are so elegant.

Some pretty vintage shoes and beads.

How cool are these brushes?

Nice set, but do I need it??

Love the tiara, not sure about the funny little fancy vintage lady!

Always wanted a music box, must have been so deprived as a child not to have had one!

Pink perfume bottle and jewellery,

and more,

and brooches,

The inner excitement of finding a vintage fair

 is really hard to beat,

(except possibly extreme mountain biking down a sharp single track descent, but we will save that for another time!

I fell in love with this green floral vintage suit. 

I did accidentally buy it!

So appealing when you know there weren't many made like this.

Kind of funny the other half gasped when he saw it, I initially thought he was really excited about my awesome purchase! Laughing now about how gross he thought it was! I bet he's one of those people that hope there weren't many vintage suits made like this!

Oh well, I still love it.

It is now nice and safe hanging up on a lovely vintage wooden hanger on the back of my door.

Have fun if you make it to the Vintage fair or any Vintage shop near you.

Hope it will be worth your while!

Vintage Fashion Fayre

I went to an awesome vintage fashion fayre a little while back in the Brangwyn Hall in Swansea organised by Blind Lemon Vintage.

After purchasing a beautiful 1950's floral suit  I then couldn’t help photograph other vintage finds. There were some really pretty vintage dresses and collections, I hope you enjoy the photos.

Some beautiful vintage handbags - I wish I had bought some now!

If only I had time to try them all on!

I loved this hat

Some really funky glasses - so remind me of my grandma

Some of the outfits would have been great for Christmas parties - particularly themed parties like one coming up this weekend.  What shall I wear?
