Ive managed to get the hang of emailing pictures from my phone so Ill be taking a lot more of the stand at the next few fairs. Just to warn you Im not the best photographer in the world but they seem to be OK Just off to snack on home grown blueberries Yum 2010-7-21 09:17:07 http://www.pussyfootvintage.com/page4.htm#70554 Have had a busy few weeks not Vintage wise but personally. Had a wonderful birthday with a brilliant spa break at the Celtic Manor Resort those of you interested in golf will know its the venue for the Ryder Cup later this year. What a place fantastic Rob had a few weeks holiday so we pottered about in the garden changed the car and thoroughly chilled out. Last Sunday it was back to work with a fair at Primrose Hill and this Sunday Ill be at Frock Me on Kings Road Chelsea. I may have said it before but I love this fair the atmosphere is always upbeat and despite the early start its my favourite one. Ive got a load of stunning hats just arrived from America that will be available at Frock Me Checkout the pale lavender tilt topper Ill try to get a photo on this week. 2010-7-16 16:41:10 http://www.pussyfootvintage.com/page4.htm#68572 The fair last Sunday at Clerkenwell was very quiet but thats the way it goes sometimes. Im now looking forward to a few weeks off but I wont be able to put my feet up as the garden needs a major makeover. Hopefully the hats Ive just ordered from America will arrive so that Ill have an excuse to stop weeding and play at being a fashion photographer and get some good pictures for the website. I cant wait to show them to you especially the tilt toppers because they are stunning. The next fairs Ill be at will be Clerkenwell July 25th Primrose Hill July 11th and Frock Me on July 18th an extra date so make a note of it. With any luck the hats will be on sale at these fairs.

One of them is a stunning 1940s straw picture hat trimmed with a large black velvet bow I could just imagine Katherine Hepburn wearing this with wide palazzo pants and a floral silk blouse. On a personal note I discovered this week that Tedi our black 8 month old cat likes melon He came running into the lounge with the half shell and proceeded to eat it. Hed got the melon from the bin so Im going to have to get a lockable one. Ive already given up on all the other waste paper bins in the house because he thinks that throwing things in a bin is a game Ive made up just for him 2010-6-9 10:19:43 http://www.pussyfootvintage.com/page4.htm#66135 Had a fantastic time at the Frock Me fair in Chelsea last Sunday even though the weather was so hot. Sold loads of hats well Ascot is almost upon us. Also sold a beautiful Schiaparelli necklace that I have been coveting for a long time but Im really pleased it went to a lady who will cherish it. If you havent been to the Frock Me fair then it really is worth a visit. Fantastic stalls selling everything you can imagine. An extra date for the fair has been added Sunday 18th July so make a note in your diary.

A really lovely venue with lots of people browsing and buying. Chatted to a nice young man named Daniel from New York who was killing time browsing the stands as his friends were working there. He was not impressed by our 3 hour journey from Ewenny to London saying it takes longer than that to cross the New York State. Well the Americans always claim everything is bigger over there Will be at the next fair on Sunday June 20th but may have a bit of a sore head as the day before is my birthday.

Fresh tomatoes off the vine cant beat them. Did manage a little shopping trip to a local fair and bought a fantastic 1950s hand bag but cant decide whether its for stock or my collection Also picked up some lovely diamante pieces ready for the Christmas season yes I know its months off but you have to be prepared This Sunday its Anitas Vintage fair in Battersea I really enjoy this fair as the venue is so light and airy. Just deciding what to take. Definitely on the list is a 1940s suit that is really stunning and just typical of the age. Also have the perfect hat to go with it. 2010-4-13 15:17:56 http://www.pussyfootvintage.com/page4.htm#61690 Had a great day at the FrockMe fair in Chelsea yesterday sold a fabulous 1950s black swing coat to a young woman who looked stunning in it very envious of her figure then I sold a 1940s hat to young actress Vinette Robinson who will be appearing in the new BBC production of Sherlock Holmes alongside Benedict Cumberpatch and Martin Freeman. The icing on the cake for the day was selling a pair of Schiaparelli earrings to actress Cherie Lunghi the earrings were like her beautiful sophisticated but with that hint of fun. I was also able to help a lovely lady to restart her Miriam Haskell collection after being burgled and losing all her treasured pieces. Id be heartbroken if that happend to me.
