Busy busy bee...

I wish I had more time to blog! I've been working long and late hours at my new job and all my other spare time is spent locked away in my craft room with Glee on repeat :-( so apoligies to my readers!!

Right then what have I got to show for my lack of blogging??

New makes! More can be seen on my Facebook page

Unfortunately I've been working most Sunday's so haven't had chance to buy any vintage booty beauts :-( but I have nabbed a few gems from my parents so I shall photograph and do a show and tell later on this week!

Also just to let you know if any of you are in the Stoke area this Sunday then come along to Nana's Vintage Fair :-)

It looks to be a brilliant day!

Booty Bargains...

Sunday was the first booty of the season and I was up early, wrapped up warm and had a purse full of change! It didn't take long for me to find the first bargain, something I've been after for ages and difinately the buy of the day!

A large 1953 Queens Coronation fabric Union Jack - £1 and on the same stall I got a Coronation pop-up book too!

I couldn't resist this little fella for 30p, think he's supposed to hold matches or something? I'm thinking of converting him into a pin cushion.

This brass deer head plaque was only £1 and he looks cute with my vintage rings hanging on his antlers!

Then onto the second booty of the day and yet more Royal bargains! Coronation Scrapbook £1 and a 1952 Illustrated magazine marking the death of the King - 50p

Yet more vintage books (I couldn't resist the illustrations!) 50p each

And finally a 1950's Ludo game - £1

Roll on next booty day ;-)

Next fair...

Well it certainly looks like I've been bitten by the vintage fair bug!

I shall be at Nana's Vintage Fair in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent on Sunday 15th May

Also I'm now on Facebook! If you search "Vintage Laura xx" under groups then you'll find my page :-)

Sutton Vintage and Arts Fair...

Yesterday I sold my goods at SV&AF and it was a roaring success :-)

Lots of people queued up despite the dull rainy weather outside and I think everyone who visited would agree that it was a wonderful day, with lots of vintage, dancing and cupcakes!!!

I managed to take lots of piccies of my stall but my batteries drained so I couldn't take any more pics around the fair :-(

I'm looking forward to doing many more fairs in the future!!

Al that glitters is not gold...

 Latest makes ; Vintage inspired brooches and pendants

Apologies for my lack of blogging, it's been very stressy here at Vintage Laura HQ!

I haven't even got round to thanking Bruce from Eclectic Ephemera for my Stylish Blogger Award (I will be blogging my 7 facts soon!)

It's now 2 weeks till Sutton Vintage and Arts Fair (cue mad panic!!)

I think I'll take this advice;

... well at least try to anyway!!!

Vintage Photos...

Well I've embraced modern technology and have finally given up on my temperamental 80 year old Singers and got myself a new electric one which I've had fun playing around with making some vintage inspired pieces!

Lavender Scented Hearts

"Summer Holiday" - unsure whether to mount this in a frame or make it into a cushion?!

Stitched Postcard

Vintage Postcard Cards

These will all be available to buy at Sutton Vintage and Arts Fair but if any of my pieces take your fancy then feel free to email me :-)

And talking about Sutton Vintage, check out the new flyer!

Lovely isn't it?!

Can I also thank all my lovely followers, 30 so far!!

Let's make it 50 and I'll have a big giveaway ;-)

Just a quick 'un...

I'm not very good at this whole "blogging" thing am I?! Sorry, but in my defence the dongle is to blame! Anyone who has had to suffer with using a dongle will feel my pain! 

Anywho just a quick update today to let you all know that I'll be at Sutton Vintage and Arts Fair on Sunday 13th March at Sutton Coldfield Town Hall. I'm rather excited to have my first stall and I've been busy making lots of things which I will (hopefully) blog about tomorrow depending on whether the dongle has a good day ;-) 

Hope to see some of you there!

And a "shoe update" from the last post! The Clothes Show was wonderful as per, the male models were on top form! But..... prepare yourselves..... There was no Irregular Choice store this year :-( Me and my sister we rather gutted! But fear not, my sister got me the gorgeous shoes for Christmas :-) :-) :-) YEY!

Also a special hello to Vintage Vixen, seen as my mother got to say that to you in person today!! She's still telling me about your meeting, you are officially a celeb ;-)

And finally HAPPY 2011 to all my lovely followers!!
