The Frock Around The Clock Vintage Fair at the Wellington Park Hotel on the 15th February was a veritable feast for the eyes as well as amazing shopping experience.
Our magpie tendencies were overwhelmed with the dazzling array of sparkly things drawing out attention from table to table.
Beads, broaches, cuffs and bangles all vied for our attention and we mused and swooned at the covetable antique rings and fob watches.
The fashion was utterly fabulous with almost too much choice for any vintage lover. A classic Dior jacket caught our eye and feathered hair bands and veiled head pieces were tried on and had us giggling like schoolgirls who've just spotted their rock n roll dreamboat. Vintage treasures were found and bought from first edition comics to miniature sewing machines to crockery and funky telephones.
Modern design twists with reclaimed chairs decorated chairs with old issues of the Beano to crafty corsages and headbands and simply beautiful paper dresses created from vintage paper patterns added a funky design edge to the items on show.
We came, we saw, we bought more than we intended - it was fabulous!
