Welcome to a slow stitcher and vintage lovers blog where all things are possible and whimsical. Creating is in my soul and so is treasure hunting for gorgeous old fabrics, buttons, linens & threads. There is something about truffling at vintage fairs for beautiful haberdashery and fabric. I adore the seasons, the hygge & cosy of Winter, the awakening of Spring, the changes of colours and crunching of leaves in Autumn and the bees, butterflies and ocean sounds of Summer. Enjoy XX

Diaries out Ladies and Gents ... Vintage Fair Dates for all your Winter needs.
So Ladies and Gents get out your diaries and calender's, sharpen
your pencils and get some great vintage fair dates not to be missed. I have only put the ones that I know of or have been asked to feature so I am sorry if there are any missing ... These are amongst the last for 2016 before a few months break so if you need some supplies for the Winter stitching or just to get out and meet up with like minded people then these are for you plus the Christmas shopping for those unique gifts rather than mass produced ....

Hi Julie
DeleteIndeed some great ones coming up! I have added in the one that you brought to my attention, thank you! Its nice to have a variety out there in different locations for people to choose from.
Personally I am going to try for most of them I hope, although two in a weekend can be a bit much but I will see.

Hi Sarah, thank you so much for mentioning my last Fair. Julie just kindly emailed me to tell me you had listed it for me that's really sweet of you. After running them for 4 years its time for pastures new. All the funds from our lovely tea room will be going to the Retired Greyhound Trust Dorset and Somerset Branch for which I volunteer with. I have 4 rescue greyhounds myself. Dogs are not permitted in the main hall or tea room sadly as the hall is used a day nursery for children and the insurance doesn't allow it. Its always such a lovely Fair with a wonderful atmosphere. So thank you again. Best wishes, Dee x www.facebook.com/DeeDeesHandmadeAndVintageFairs
ReplyDeleteHi Delia
DeleteMy pleasure and Julie was the reason as I did not know about your fairs which is crazy!
Oh well pastures new as you say and I love the fact that money goes to greyhound rescue which is very dear to my own heart.
We had two greyhounds we rescued called Woody and Dilly and they died some years ago now, took a part of me with them. I would dearly love another dog but at the moment I am just to busy for that and as you say lots of venues will not allow them in there so I could not possibly have one at the moment.
Good luck in your new ventures and thank you.
