Entry is £1 (free for under 16s) and we will be having our usual vintage inpired tea room, with a selection of delicious cakes being served on our vintage china. We'll again be donating a minimum of 10% of our tea room takings to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Military Patients Fund, having already donated £350 to the charity this year.

The New Blighty Boutique Vintage Fair Flyer!

Hi everyone, thought you might like to see the new flyer for our Blighty Boutique Vintage & Handmade Fair Jubilee Special! It gave me a chance to showcase some of my ever growing vintage Royal ware collection.

We can't wait to don our red, white and blue and will have Union Jack flags and Jubilee themed paper crafts for our young visitors to the fair.

My Stall at the Sutton Fair

I haven't had chance to blog since the Sutton Vintage & Arts Fair, but Mum and I had a fantastic day! I came home with hardly anything and have been busy buying more stock for up coming fairs that I'll be selling at. Thanks Sabina and Eva for holding another fantastically organised and thoroughly enjoyable fair!

Jubilee Excitement!

I know the Jubilee weekend isn't until the 2nd June but I am already super excited! I love the Royals and all things Royal and have a growing collection of Royal Memorabilia; mostly cups, beakers and tins.

National Portrait Gallery

Like most collectors my collection has outgrown its cabinet after only a few months of having built the cabinet and I'm now considering having my spare room as a 'Royal' room so that I have even more space to keep collecting!

Part of my growing collection

Being a lover of the Royals, and of course of parties and dressing up, we've sheduled one of this year's Vintage & Handmade Fairs for the Jubilee weekend Come along to Hatton Park Village Hall on Sunday June 3rd betwwen 11am - 4pm and drink tea, eat cake, peruse our seller's lovely wears and check us out in our red, white and blue ensembles! There will also be children's jubilee crafts taking place outside...fancy sticking some sparkles on a golden crown or building a Queen's guard out of paper? I'll be the one sat colouring in a Union Jack....

We've only had a hint of spring and....

Shame I have no skills for tinkering with old cars and can only drive automatics eh! Oh well, I can still gaze at them in wonder.
