The odds were stacked against Old's Cool Trading at last Saturday's Vintage and Antiques Fair.
Not only was it Harry and Meghan's wedding, the FA Cup Final, Exeter Chiefs' all-important try (geddit!) to get into the finals but the sunshine was glorious and there was a huge plant sale outside the Strand Centre which seemed to part lots of shoppers from their money.
Once everything got going, it took a bit longer this time though, it turned out to be a more successful day than we originally thought it would be. It was wonderful to see regulars coming back to our stall for more vintage treasure and we met some very friendly new faces.
The best sellers this time round were our vintage handbags and shoes, 1950s burlesque programmes from the Windmill Theatre in Soho (as seen in 'Miss Henderson Presents') and our vintage viewfinders and slides, our favourite being 101 Dalmatians.
We'll be doing it again next month so see you on 15th June. We can't wait!
