Stockport Vintage Village!

Heya guys and gals of the blogosphere *insert apology for a late upload.* So today i took the advice of Athriftymrs//link and went to the stockport vintage village fair, which is held every second Sunday of the month if your interested. When i first arrived i was overwhelmed by the amount of stalls holding vintage goods, everyone was super lovely and approachable.
I had a nosy around and picked up some amazing things, and would defiantly go back again!
My only down point is that you have to know what your buying because many things were severely over priced and to beware because a certain stall i noticed were ripping people off by using primark jewelry and selling it as vintage pieces.

My stamp to go inside!

Gingers! its like they knew i was coming.

These vintage suitcases were my weakness!

Very vintage dancing!

Very jazzy pieces of clothing!

 I picked up whilst i was their a vintage teacup & saucer for 2.50, A vintage teacup, buttons and purse for 50p each (bargain i know!)  I also picked up a vintage suitcase for 7 pounds which i will use to store shoes in my bedroom and a vintage camera that also cost 7 pound which i bought of the loveliest lady who had a story behind each item she was selling, i instantly fell in love with it and knowing someone else loved it as it was the lady's first ever camera made it even more special.
I seem to like naming all my camera's so this one is called Vixen, i'm not sure why i just think it suits him.
Ohhh! and i almost forgot! i also picked up a very beautiful hairbrush that reminded me of the titanic or something my great great grandmother used to have so i snatched it up for 3 pound.

 Whist i was in Manchester i also nipped into Primark and picked up some frilly socks and a few bits for Jade the girl who i am doing a box swap with.

What did you do today?

Vintage Fair;Review&purchases...

Heya guys and gals of the blogosphere, yesterday i went to a small vintage fair so i decided to give you lovely readers the low down on what i thought about it and what i purchased.[Beware this post will be full of pictures!]
The place this was held is called Kenyon hall farm//Link  inside the building their is a cafe & the farm shop ( Both very over priced.) Outside was green houses and a field to go strawberry/berry picking. The vintage fair was held inside the farms barn which i personally really did like, it added something unique to the fair (bales of hay make a difference in 'Amy's world' you see.)
The fair wasn't excautly 'vintage' it was more a mixture of crafts stalls and a few vintage stalls through in the mix, so i was kind of disappointed; However the stalls that were their i did have a nosy through. All the people selling were friendly that i spoke to and a few i did find intimidating and under some sort of pressure to buy after I've browsed which sadly couldn't happen on every stall i looked at.
Overall i'd say this fair earned a fair (see what i did their...yeah i'm not funny..just stop Amy.) 6/10.

  

How cute! 

Happy birthday to Kenyon hall farm!

This was in the farm shop, I thought it added a vintage touch.

Just the boyfriend being my pack mule.

My Purchases:

I didn't buy alot whilst i was their because well like i said it wasn't overly vintage, but i did pick up some little gems!

I picked up to vintage handcrafted wall plaques/hangings for a pound each. They are the cutest, the goose one reminded me of Percy the goose from the pond over the road from my house (he's adorable) and the heart i just thought would look on my bedroom door; I also picked up a gorgeous bath bomb which just has the nicest,strongest scent. I will do a review on it to see if i like it better than my lush favorites! 

Finally, the main reason i wanted to do this post, i picked up a vintage lamp...it's beautiful...very grandma styled i know, but i'll make it work somehow. I was amazed to see this gem was only 3 pound! so i snapped it up with my boyfriend stood watching being very skeptical about what i was going to do with it, other peoples opinions aside, I love it.

Have you thrifted anything lately?

Forever twenty one;Mustache necklace.

Heya guys and gals of the blogosphere, so a few days ago i went to the Trafford center in Manchester with a girls group (long story for more information click: HERE)
I attended this in an attempt to meet new people as I've just moved into the area and it was supposed to help lead me into becoming a volunteer at the youth club, which it did and i'm now starting a voluntary course in September which will help me have some experience for future jobs once I've passed and become a volunteer.  So anyway back to the story in the Trafford center we each got to get each other a gift like a secret Santa but in april, i got a girl called Lisa who bought me the most adorable necklace from forever twenty one, it has a thin gold chain and a dainty mustache charm, i personally love it and glad she picked it for me :)
