MAMA MIA

Mothering Sunday is on 14th March, and if you are looking for gift ideas to show your Mum how much she is appreciated you can't go far wrong with popping along to the first Vintage Sunday at the Empire on 7th March.

With 18+ vintage dealers on board there will be a large variety of unique and interesting gift ideas on display and available to purchase. Vintage clothing and accessories dating from the early 1900s to the 1980s will be available from Lulu Rose Vintage, Jel Vintage, Fabulous Vintage, Banshee Vintage, Betty Bankhead, Angela O'Brien and Old Tea Rose Antiques, while jewellery will be in abundance at the stalls of Norma Jean Vintage, Sandra Crawford Antiques, Old Mill Collectables and Old Tea Rose Antiques.

If your Mum is into music you can pick up something from her favourite artist at the Vinyl Countdown stand, or visit Little Lo Lo's House where old vinyl records have been recycled into clocks. Beautiful vanity items like perfume bottles, compacts and dressing table sets are the speciality of Sandra Crawford Antiques, who also have a lovely collection of opera glasses.

If something for the home is what your Mum would love there will be stylish furniture and home decor items from Kirkmodern and Retrorumage, while floral china, mirrors and pictures will be available at a number of the other stalls. The paper art creations of Vintage Paperworks make fabulous gifts, as do the bone china candle holders and soap dishes from Wicked China.

And if by some very slim chance you can't find anything in this emporium of vintage delights that would please your Mum, you could always purchase a gift voucher from the Ashby Hairstyling stand!
