Yesterday me, my Mum and lil sis, Melinda pottered off to Vintage festival at The Southbank. After trying to take advantage of Elle The Club's offer for 2for1 tickets (which apparently doesn't include sat even though the website says it does!!) We just went to all the free bits and enjoyed the sunshine (a little too much- ouch!) and amazing atmosphere.
The clothing stalls varied from high end antique clothing and pristine 1960's Ossie Clark to the mixed retro fun of Judy's Affordable Vintage Fair which I happen to be a massive fan of! Don't be scared people you just have to get involved in the £5 special baskets!

| Lady Jane's Vintage Bandwagon Lady Jane's was one of my fav stalls. There was a good mix of retro clothing in good condition, silk shirts and great printed dresses sat side by side with amaaazzing examples of 1970's Ossie Clark/ Celia Birtwell collaborations which were by far and away the most reasonably priced in the fair. Although the clothing was vast and varied I have to say my attention was definitely drawn to the homeware, ranging from 50's formica coffee tables, amazing danish design desks. The bits and bobs or nic-naks if you will were also amazing! I had a lovely chat about the joys of coloured glassware at Drake & Naylor who are the most amazing couple who I will def be purrrchasing from soon!!  I had my eye on the green cups an saucers  Apparently the pigs come in many, many different colours! For those of you who follow this blog or read my twitter, you will know about my obsession with vintage crockery, as you can see there was plenty there to keep me happy! |

| BuyVintageAntiques.co.uk I think I will be calling these guys for a couple of settings for our wedding! |
Aside from crockery there were so many other bits and bobs which were just fun to root through going 'ooh look at the package..' and 'oooh what is this?!!' So this is just a little selection of my fav.
After all our shopping (oh and being snapped by Elle!) we set off to have a pint or two of pimms outside the Southbank Centre enjoying the sunshine and views across the Thames.

Vintage Festival 's all items are really great. I had gone at the Vintage Festival with my mom and we had purchased lots of things and all are really very best.
