TALES OF OLD CHINA

Demonstrating clever ideas with vintage ojects we had two new exhibitors at February's vintage fair showing off their entrepreneurial flair for leasing new life into the old.

First up were the girls behind Wicked China. A simple but effective use of pretty china cups and plates, made useful as candlesticks, soap dishes and toiletry holders were popular and pretty gift purchases. So popular in fact that the girls had to send out an SOS to their family asking them to rush down to the Holiday Inn with fresh stocks to replenish their supplies!

Also joining us for the first time was Little Lo Lo's House, selling re-worked vintage jewellery, handbags, vinyl record clocks, cushions made from vintage material and brooches made from vintage fabrics. The vinyl record clocks proved to be very popular and provided an eye catching display.

And if there wasn't a clock to suit your taste in music why not do as one quick thinking customer did? Make a visit to the Vinyl Countdown stand, choose an old LP from your favourite artist and ask Little Lo Lo's House to customise it for you!

Wicked China and Little Lo Lo's House will be back at our next Vintage Fashion & Textile Fair on 9th May.
