Oh my (Dog) Days! Florence Welch & The Vintage Furniture Flea

Posted on by
Comments

Greetings vintage fans,

Celebrity klaxon alert! Returning to Bethnal Green’s York Hall last Sunday, we spotted a famous face amongst the crowds- siren Florence Welch! Perusing the stalls for furniture and wares, we thought that she looked AWE-SOME! (scroll down to see!)

In addition to her hat, Fair Manager Scarlett’s dress and more cakes than our bellies could take, we also fell for the picnic set pictured below – perfect for an English meadow or park in the fleeting summer sun!

All in all, we had a ball and can’t wait to come back! For the latest on our movements, be sure to peruse here and until then, adieu – we’ll be coming to you soon!

Retro Regards,

“Hello? Is it Flea your looking for?”

Posted on by

Furniture – what’s not to love? Granted, we’re fans of building up a proverbial wardrobe of lovely vintage garms but sometimes we just want the physical wardrobe to put it in. That said, this week we’re a-smiling. For why? (note to the reader: we’re not quite sure why we’re talking like a medieval poet – a-roll with it ok?) Because that most hallowed of events, The Vintage Furniture Flea, comes to town!

A celebration of the midcentury in the heart of Bethnal Green, good golly is it good! Don’t believe us? Well young cynics, set your peepers on this…

 

Converted? We thought so too!

The Vintage Furniture Flea calls at York Hall, Old Ford Road,London E2 9PJ on Sun 9th June. For all the details, click here.

Forgive us readers, for we have sinned…

Forgive us blog readers, for we have sinned; caught up in the madness and maelstrom of everyday life (and watching WAY too much ‘Game of Thrones’), we’ve ignored this little blog of late, putting it on a back burner so far away that said back burner is simply a blip in the distance. Well, ‘NO MORE’ we cry! But where to begin?? With life moving a mile a minute at the moment, we figured let’s play on that classic TV show trait and have a quick catch-up. Cue opening credits (bonus points if you comment below with a suggested tune that we should have as our ‘Judy’s Vintage Fair’ theme song…) and a booming voice as we give you ‘previously at Judy’s Affordable Vintage Fair…’

We saw taxidermy at Chester…

…as well as some rather yummy cakes.

Coasters caught our eyes…

…and the Vintage Furniture Flea came to town.

We brought retro travel to Old Spitalfields…

…and got literary in Leeds!

We fell into red dress heaven at the Corn Exchange…

…and found some excellent specs to match!

And end scene! A lovely little visual treat, we hope that’s caught you up (and expect more from us this week!)

Retro Regards (and sorry once more!)

Call the Doctor – it finally has a name…

Somebody call the doctor – it finally has a name! Thanks to fresh research and tireless graft from our pals at The Vintage Festival, that unstoppable urge to charity shop, buy West German pottery and simply wax nostalgic at any given opportunity finally has a name – ‘VINTAGE-ITIS!’

Compulsive, competitive [and sometimes expensive, although not at our fairs – *dusts-off shoulders accordingly*], the condition is yet to be thought of as curable, with many men, women and even children saying NO to mobile phones, donning frocks and quoffing Babycham [from the ACTUAL glasses!!] proving that ‘Vintageitis’ is alive and well.

And so, what remains in the way of prevention for this dreaded disease? Gather your mod cons, shop only Highstreet, throw out the vinyl and buy only MP3. Want to steer clear of this viral time-travel, where you can be whoever you want to be? Nah, neither do we!

Retro Regards,

Greetings Vintage Fans [and a HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU!]

As many of us have pulled ourselves out of bed, waddled to the office and packed away the tree [lest bad luck rain down on us ALL!] we just wanted to wish you a Happy New Year from Judy HQ! With ample vintage fairs, markets and special events taking over the calendar, we’re starting the year with a can-do attitude and labeling 2013 as the year that’s not just lucky for some [but lucky for EVERYONE!]

For all of our dates, remember to keep a peeper on our Facebook and Twitter and if you ever have any questions, then feel free to give us a shout!

Retro Regards,
