This post isn't beauty related so I wasn't sure whether or not to do a blog post about it but thought the stuff I got was so lovely I really wanted to share it! Today I went with my Sister to a vintage fair in the centre of Edinburgh. It's a travelling fair so I will link the website below so you can check it out too! It was £2 for entry but only £1 if you have a student card.
It was super busy in the fair! We got their about an hour after it opened and it was absolutely packed! There was all different stalls most selling vintage clothing but two at the back selling vintage plates, bowls, etc, a couple along the back selling a mixture of handmade and vintage jewllery and one selling soap in the shape of cakes, weirdly.
My style is pretty smart, I wear dark trousers with a mixture of pretty tops and fitted jackets all the time (unless I'm kicking about at home in that case it's cottons and sweatshirts all the way!!). My sister, however always dresses in pretty little dresses and skirts and has a pretty vintagey feel to her outfits (we are total opposites in every way but get on so well!). So she was bound to enjoy the fair a lot more than me!
Anyway I'm rambling. Long story short she got a cute skirt, 2 scarves and a necklace and I got all this! My favourite thing I got was the cute little china pot! It says on the bottom 'Fine Bone China Made in Britain'. I like to imagine a woman in the 1970's kept her special earrings in it. I gave it a good clean and plan on keeping my little studs in there. The scarves were a good find, there was a massive basket full of them tucked under a rail of clothing. We raked through them and found two each, mine are a cerise pink and dark blue one with ropes and tassels and the green one has gold thread running through it with satin panels and a leafy pattern. They all smell a bit old so we're gonna give them a good going in the washing machine. I just thought the mirror was really cute and handy to keep in my bag. The ring was a great find and at only a pound you can't really go wrong! It's one of those rings you can change the size of at the back but I quite like it above the knuckle, I have a few above knuckle rings but this is a bit different from anything I've seen on the high street at the moment.
One stall sold vintage make up cases and they were amazing but pretty expensive! I kind of wish I had bought one now but because I already got the mirror I couldn't justify it!
All in all not a bad little haul. I went in with a totally open mind but honestly thought I wouldn't find anything but I was actually quite pleased with my finds.
It was freezing cold but it's been a really lovely day! Don't you just love a sister day?
The vintage fair we went to I found through this site - http://www.judysvintagefair.co.uk/
My sister is going to make a blog and do a post on what she got today so I'll link that when she does.
