That reminds me - I'm going to a vintage fashion fair next week and I've no idea at all what to expect. Are things generally ridiculously priced or reasonable? I've looked this one up online and it seems to be a one-off rather than a touring one.(IYKWIM!)
I'm really looking forward to it especially since it is being held in one of my favourite places

I LOVE vintage fashion fairs. There's one coming to Leeds in a few weeks and I cannot wait. I'm on the look out for a leopard print faux fur jacket and some 1940s costume jewellery. I totally agree with Goanmad though - even if you don't get anything at all, it's so great to wander round, soak up the atmosphere and look at pretty things!

There's one in Sheffield next Saturday, might have to make a trip and check it out!

Daisybella, will you post a reminder here nearer the time? I'd quite like to go, and vintage clothes fit DH better than most morden ones....:) He's the right height, .
