Saturday finds


On Saturday I decided to try my luck at a local vintage fair. I'd never visited this particular event before so I wasn't sure what to expect but there were some very good stalls and it ended up being a lot of fun. I came home with this '60s handbag, bought from a really friendly seller who specialises in vintage bags. It's in such nice condition that I think it's hardly been used. I've been trying to make out a maker's mark on the interior of the bag but, after much squinting, I still can't figure it out! After the fair, I also took a little look around the nearby shops and found this pumpkin-coloured 1960s velvet cloche: a good companion to the hat in my previous post!


It'll be making its way into the shop soon... This month is going to be fairly busy so I think the next shop update should be in a few weeks' time, probably around Easter. As well as thrifting over the weekend, I also washed and prepared lots of new items so it should be a pretty large, good update when it comes! In the meantime, this coming weekend I will be running my first shop-wide sale as part of the Vintage Team sale on Etsy. I'll post more details on this later in the week.

'60s Treats

Here's a very mini shop update to finish off the weekend: three great pieces from the 1960s. I'm particularly excited by the hat - I was so happy when I found it!
