A Very Late February Make & Vintage Fair Preparations

I have been so busy lately that I've been quite neglectful of my blog, so here are my very late February Makes. I made a mountain of cards using vintage fuzzy felt, 1950s Noddy Snap Cards and a 1950s children's board games. These will be coming with me to the Northampton Vintage & Homemade Fair on the 19th March.

I also made some envelopes from a 1950s School Atlas I picked up in a charity shop. I love the colours and the texture of the paper is lovely.

I went to a jumble sale yesterday (pics as soon as I've cleared the mountain of Vintage Fair things in my craft room) and bought a few bits and bobs on a charity shop jaunt the other week. I picked up a gorgeous 80s wool M&S sailor style coat and I'll post pics as soon as it's washed.

I love the 'grandad' brown leather buttons

I tried to squeeze my feet into these like an ugly sister but to no avail. They'll be coming to the Vintage & Homemade Fair



I love the alcohol advertisements in this men's magazine

  I did a rough 'mock up' of my stall for the Vintage & Homemade Fair to help me decide what to take. Here are a few pics of what I'll be taking.

Excuse the terrible pictures, the sun's so lovely and bright that it's making taking pictures impossible.
Now all I need to do is wrap everything in mountains of bubble wrap and stow it away in my vintage laundry hamper. It has wheels attached so I can get it up and down the wheelchair ramp on my mum's car and saves me carrying too much stuff. Once all that's done and I've moved everything out of my hall (I'm having it decorated tomorrow) I'm looking forward to curling up on the sofa in my oversized arran cardie and catching up with everyone's blogs.

I hope you all have a lovely week and I'm going to leave you with a burst of sunshine...oh how I love daffodil season x
