Vintage at the hall! ;-)



This fabulous town hall was the setting for the very first vintage fair

in Tavistock, yesterday.

And so, off we set at 7am for a jolly journey across the Dartmoor,

which wasn't really that jolly as the heavens opened up

at one point !




But the sun came out...eventually.

The day was superbly organised by Sian King.

I don't know how she managed it but the crowds rolled in

from the moment the doors opened until the fair ended at 4pm.

A fair for which Tavistock has long waited, I think!




There were plenty of lovely things on offer too...




I loved this china!





A grand gathering of goodies...vintage of course!




It was lovely too see a few friends, who popped in to see us...

and lovely to make a few new friends too!

Well done to Sian for getting this event off the ground !

I can't wait to return for the next one!





The day whizzed by and I didn't even have time to look around Tavi

as we were soon wending our weary way back across the moors

to pop into an event celebrating 100 years!!

More about that later!

Vintage at Tavistock!!



I'm really excited this week!

Why?!

On Saturday, there's a new event in Tavistock!

When I opened up 'Antique Explorer' yesterday, there was my name in a short

feature about this fair! Way hay!!!

The fair will take place in Tavistock Town Hall,(which was built in 1864).

There will be oodles of vintage items : furnishings, glass,

homeware, French brocante vintage clothing, vintage eiderdowns

plus heaps more including...

my vintage fabrics!! ;-)





Oh... and tea and cakes isn't just tea and cakes!

Oh no!

MORE TEA VICAR!!!

will be there and they are decorating the town hall's

Rundle Room , in true vintage style!

Images of retro fashion and design will be shown on the stage

as the event unfolds.

Katherine Sorrell , from BBC Homes and Antiques, will be there to sign

her new book 'The Modern Vintage Home.'

Music from the 1940s to 1980s along with the appearance of

some vintage classic cars , in the town square, will complete the day!

I expect there will be a whole lot more but you get the gist!





The Western Morning News has given the fair (organised by Sian King)

a wonderful write up!
