With not long to go now until our next Dawlish Antiques and Vintage Fair on 20th July this weekend was all about filling in on the gaps on our stall and finding items we'd been asked to look out for.
A good place to do that is always another antiques fair and Saturday's in Marsh Barton didn't disappoint, especially as we'd been asked to look out for vintage ethnic jewellery, vintage sewing items, big 80s earrings, brooches and anything David Bowie!
We popped into The Attic too, always a treasure trove of vintage goodies, and picked up a lovely 1960s Huntley and Palmers cocktail biscuit tin and very pretty bakelite radio (that might not make it out of our private collection for a while though!).
The plan was also to visit Dodo Room, you can find Simon and his shop, just underneath The Attic but we ran out of time. We'll definitely pop in the next time we're in the area though, the photos look amazing.
A quick but refreshing pint (or two...blame the sun!) of Old Rosie at Exeter St Thomas' Spooneys finished off our mad shopping spree. It's certainly much harder work in the sunshine.
We're all ready now for our fair on 20th July so pop along down to the Strand Centre to look at the different stalls. We're welcoming several new traders this time (plus our lovely regulars of course) and it promises to be our biggest and best fair so far!
