Well it's been a busy few days. As I mentioned in my previous post I had 2 fairs last weekend and i'm still feeling a little wiped out!
I had a fab time at the Cardiff show on Saturday, there were some great stands with lovely stall holders and lots of tempting vintage treats.
My stand was looking quite jammed, think I need to work on my display for the fair next Saturday, i've got a very pretty vintage cupboard that i've been wanting to use for ages, i'll have to give it a lick of paint.
The new pocketwatches went down very well as did the message in a bottle necklace. I'm down to my last few bottle necklaces now, so if you want one it's best to purchase it sooner rather than later! I'm unable to get any more of the tiny bottles so i've had to come up with a new design with some slightly bigger bottles, still sweet but not as cute as the originals.
I only managed to get a few snaps of Debbie's stand at the show, but I promise i'll take more pics at the next show. She had beautiful vintage homewares and the display was so pretty, my dingy photo doesn't do it justice!
I've got my eye on that pretty mint green teapot (on the middle shelf in picture below), think i'll be snapping that one up next week.
Though I did make a purchase from Debbie, I bought this little gold and mint coloured teapot as a pressie for my mum.
That's the trouble with these shows, you see so many things you like to end up spending all your takings! Mel had the most gorgeous clothes on her stand and I bought a pretty peach vintage slip from her.
We had Cheltenham on the Sunday. I have to say it was a disappointing show. The Pittville Pumprooms is a beautiful venue, it's basically the old spa in Cheltenham and it's a very grand building with the most beautiful rooms. Unfortunately for me and one other stand we were put in a dingy hallway next to the toilets! It was a terrible position, the light was bad and the jewellery looked dull. I was getting quite depressed as people weren't even coming in to our 'room', but we ended up with some ok sales and it was worth the journey in the end, though i'm not sure if i'll do the Cheltenham show again. Mothers Day also had an effect as it was a very quiet event, usually the Blind Lemon Shows are packed, but I think everybody was out treating their mum's to lunch.
But, there was a flurry of excitement during the quiet day. Lily Allen was at the show doing a bit of vintage shopping, she was very petite and pretty, at one point I was standing next to her and I felt like a giant! Apparently she's opening up a vintage shop in London which will be fab i'm sure, I just wish she'd come in our room to have a look at the jewellery, oh well next time.
