Last weekend was a real winner- Saturday was spent feeding ducks, waving at trains, playing in sand and eating icecreams the size of our heads.
On Sunday, I made a solo voyage to Bethnal Green for the Vintage Furniture Flea market from
Judy's Affordable Vintage Fair.
Ooh, what a haul! I found the perfect 70s lamp that we've been wanting for ages - complete with original shade - a fab rug and a set of 3 italian mugs. Here they are, proudly displayed in our home after successfully surviving a trip across London on the tube and a bus ride back to Oxford!
On the textile front, my vintage fabric stock was boosted with these 3 little beauties...
and lastly, Freya now has a funky "pinny" for playing, cooking and mealtime fun...
Some of the vendors that particularly caught my eye were (clockwise from top):
- E.W. Moore & Son Ltd who specialise in vintage wallpaper
- Oh so Retro! Some fab homewares
- Your Vintage Life - Gorgeous homewares and textiles - including my new blue fabric above which was being sold on the roll. I met the very helpful Kate.
- Etcetera - Based in Margate, the lovely Shelly and her partner have a frequent spot at Spitalfields market and were very kind to me! I bought the German lamp from them and was so pleased that my fab new lamp came from such lovely people!
If you're close to London I'd really recommend a visit to the
next market - just the right size, reasonable prices and lots of lovely vendors - not to mention some delicious homemade cakes!
