Harrogate Does Vintage 10-11-2012

Yesterday we were at Harrogate Does Vintage in the Harrogate Theatre.  For most of the day Sophie and I were dressed up as vintage ladies and handing out flyers on the street of Harrogate.

Did you spot us?  It was great fun walking round Harrogate and seeing people smiling at us being dressed up in our vintage attire. 

I did get an opportunity to come inside from the cold and take a few photos of the fair.  Our visitors certainly were taking the opportunity to have a good look round our fab vintage stalls and do a bit of early Christmas shopping.

As always our pop-up tea room was amazing!  Sue's cakes are a winner, especially on a cold day.  I tried one of the lemon cup cakes (which is why one from the bottom of the cake stand on the photo to the right is missing!). The tea rooms also had a TV screen showing vintage news clips and some animations showing our up coming events - made by the talented people behind Claire's Vintique.

Our workshop this time was run by Vintage Rose, who were demonstrating how to up cycle your furniture. They had some very clever paint for sale which they used to paint all sorts of things, from mirror frames to chairs.  They're coming to our Durham fair, so if you missed them at Harrogate, so you can catch them there.



Finally, here are some photos of people at the fair.  Can you spot yourself looking for a vintage item?

We'll be back in Harrogate on 23rd February 2013, so hopefully we'll see you there!

Don't for get that next weekend we're venturing outside of Yorkshire for our first event in Newcastle on 17th November 2012.



And then on 24th November 2012 we're in Durham for our first ever Durham Does Vintage event.
