Busy Vintage Bee indeed! We have been
showing off our Vintage and Retro treasures at The 1940's Event held in
Westhoughton on Sat 6th. We were at the Candy Peel Goes Vintage Fair in
Lymm last Saturday and managed to squeeze in at The Razzle Dazzle
Vintage Fair on Sunday! Phew! Retro Queen is on a roll! This weekend we
have no fairs on, but we are off on a treasure hunt to bring you lots of
new vintage goodies to be loved again! Here are some photos of the fab
events we have been a part of!
The 1940's Event in Westhoughton Market
was a great day! We were raising money for our local Help the Hero's
fund and sharing our love of all things vintage! Who could resist
charming gentlemen in waistcoats and uniform? Eh?! Heh heh. The 3 women
in the photo were so amazing too! They came in singing and laughing and
just generally having a great time of it! Loved it! And over £800 pounds
was raised on the day! Woo Hoo!
The Candy
Peel goes Vintage Fair was fun! With lots of cool craft and vintage
stalls, a pop up tea room and gorgeous surroundings it was great! Had to
get a few pics outside too as it was so sunny! How amazing is that
'Candy's Tea Room' sign!? I love it! Handmade by the lovely Michelle in
the photo! Getting in the TePee was a must too! Hee hee.
The Razzle Dazzle Traveling Vintage Fair
is held at Cedar Farm Galleries in Mawdesley, which is a beautiful place
filled with funky cafe's, handmade galleries, studios and a farm where
you can feed the animals! Again the sun was out and über warm, oodles of
vintage and collectable stalls, delicious coffee and fab customers made
it great day!
One
of the things I love about doing the fairs is getting the chance to
wear some of my many vintage clothes! And they are ever growing!
Depending on the venue, the weather and my inclination, I can play
around with my outfit and make it a real talking point at the fairs! The
dress I wore to the 1940's event is a new addition to my wardrobe, I
had intended to sell it but now I just can't part with it! It's so
feminine, super comfy and has little pockets at the front too! Heh heh I
have fallen head over heels! The next dress (yes I do have a thing for
dresses!) I wore at the Candy Peel goes vintage fair. This was a great
bargain buy at a vintage fair last year for only £8! Amazing I know!
Again its very easy to wear, comfy and I just love the pattern and the
detail on the top of the chest! It works great accessorizing it with
similar soft colours as I did at that fair, but it also works really
well with bright red accessories which give it a different look! At The
Razzle Dazzle Fair I wore one of my favourite dresses! This was a gift
from my lovely Grandma last year, and what a gift! She bought it in the
early 70's to wear to a fancy summer evening do, wore it once then
carefully packed it up and put it safely in the wardrobe never to be
worn again...untill me! Heh heh. It's such a statement maxi dress, great
for wearing casual with flats or dressing up for a night out! I
absolutely love the colours, it gives you energy just looking at it!
Bold, bright and beautiful! Even more so knowing it came from my grandma
with love!
We
will have lots more vintage treasures coming to Retro Queen Boutique
soon so keep posted for new items and our next vintage fairs!
As we are being a super busy vintage bee at the moment this song springs to mind for our song of the week! Enjoy!
