Last
weekend we visited the Vintage Fair at Valentines Mansion. My experience of vintage has been a lot of
junk and some really cool stuff that is usually really expensive, but always
some interesting bits to spot, so I was curious enough to go and have a look.
Shutterbug
sister came with me and as the mansion is set in the lovely Valentines park we
took the babies with us.
The
mansion itself is a lovely setting, accessible and not too big so can be navigated fairly quickly. The big stained glass windows
are one of the eye-catching features
The
vintage fair itself was a series of stalls laid out in rooms on the ground and
first floor. The stalls were selling a
mix of handmade cards and jewellery, interesting post-war items like letters,
crockery and signs, lots of clothing from the 1940’s to about the 1980’s and furniture. I like things that are reused, recycled or
upcycled, so was pleased to see lots of reclaimed items turned into interesting
objects.
