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.

Vintage Blue and Gold Teapot With Chris, Part Two,

Vintage Blue and Gold Teapot With Chris,

Part 2

It seems like so long ago since I took these photographs of Chris. 

Looks so nice and sunny in these photographs.

Been a busy few days, weeks, months, year, 

you know how it goes!

But here we are graced by Chris's lovely company and her really cute bright and cheery outfit to go with this really fun blue teapot.

(Read Part 1 of this to understand the reference to matching teapots with outfits??!?)

For those that may have seen my lovely friend Chris,she is usually wearing Anthropologie.

So here are a few more cute clothes from this cool shop!

Teapot and Chris.

Love this red and white short sleeved shirt.

Little one's hands touching the old blue teapot. 

Have to teach them so early to appreciate such fineness! 

So have a serious case of the wantsssssssss with this blue sail skirt!

So, so, so need it living by the sea-side here.

Well maybe need is the wrong word, but seriously love it.

 Have a good day, Yippie the weekend approaches!

See you soon.

Vintage fair coming up this weekend!

Can't wait.

Vintage Orange Dress,

Vintage Orange Dress,

I picked up this lovely colourful layered vintage orange dress this week, I really love it, it makes me laugh every time I see it.

Wish I could say I knitted the lovely rainbow coloured blanket underneath it.

Could you wear this dress both ways?

Bit of Ruffle activity going on here.

Nice belt action.

Love these diaphanous sleeves.

My sister in law, thought you may get comments that you have been tango'd if you where to wear this bright orange dress!

Just don't have an orange tan while you wear it!

Anticipation though, does this dress fit!

No.

Oh well, it looks pretty hanging up next to it's friends.

Perhaps should do a blog on my rainbow collection of Vintage dresses?

That don't fit!
hahaha

Have a lovely colourful day.

Becca.

It is a massive hall to decorate.
Yippie, more bunting arrived today! 

Hope it looks pretty.

Vintage Party 2,

As previously mentioned, we had a Vintage evening recently.

And everyone enjoyed being framed.

Here is a selection of photographs from some of the unfortunate ones who were captured in that cheeky gold frame.

We had props supplied by the lovely Kirsty.

I loved the selection of hats, monocles and I had a soft spot for that beard!

We had a funny vintage black and white film on a very large screen.

I was sitting next to my brother Ben so we laughed at everything.

And we sneaked all the popcorn from the surrounding tables.

Behind the scenes of the golden frame.

My little brother Ben in the lilac was in charge of photography and the golden frame.

So mega thanks to him for all his hard work and his skill.

Cheers beautiful you are a bright star shining!

Ok there was 3 of us that have our birthdays on the same day.

We now call ourselves the triplets.

Couldn't believe Elvis made an appearance.

Love these guys.

These guys love each other!

These guys love helping a lot and are awesome at it.

Also a big thank you for the vintage gramophone on the day.

Now this cheeky couple...

These guys win for the coolest outfits and coolest props!

And also they have the most massive selection of vintage outfits that I have seen for a while.

Cheeky feather boa.

3 amazing girls!

Cheeky Magritte style hat and monocle sneaking in!

Two cheeky brothers!

Hey where's the other brother?

Love this picture, and the red dress!

A selection of the outfits worn.

These guys were so so so the coolest.

              Red and Black         Red and White

Loving these red vintage dresses,

one is an original and one is not.

Which one is which?

These guys helped so much on the day.

Well actually all the time.

Red and black helps with fancy Vintage at all the shows and fairs and bookings and tidying and packing, 

the list goes on and on.

What would I do without you!

And red and white loves washing up and moving all my heavy boxes!

What a team!

And also helps me out with all my photo shoots!

Hey did someone invite Amy Winehouse?

Loving the embroidered rose pattern on this vintage dress.

And also liking the duchess pink rose-bud china.

Also lucky enough to arrive early to style the evening with me!

Loving this cultured look.

My favourite pink frilly shirt and blue velvet jacket worn by my favourite and only other half!

Love this red spotty dress.

My lovely brother and I having a wee dance.

My really cool sister in law pigging out on chocolate brownies!

I so love her accessories.

She always does it so well.

Love this cheeky look from my favourite model!

I think they are still laughing from one of my jokes?

well maybe not...

Mr P. you are star bunting putter up.

Tickets for entry.

Who can resist old suitcases?

and old labels on them.

How beautiful are these shoes, they are so my favourite ones.

But am having a red shoe moment too,

There was an abundance of red footwear.

These guys were amazing.

Especially loved them playing The Girl from Ipanema by Astrud Gilberto!

We first heard that on our honeymoon in Nice.

And a tired me at the end of the evening.

I was sent home.

While everyone else did the clearing up.

Now that is what I call amazing.

Thank you to everyone for being so fantastic

and for all your kindness and friendship 

and for making it such a lovely evening.

What would I do with out you.

Now where is the speech I was going to tell you...

hehehe
