This phoptograph was taken when our local paper The Abergavenny Chronicle did a feature on Vintage Vision recently. It was a very interesting feature and we are very grateful to the Chronicle for all their help in promoting our rapidly expanding social enterprise.

We are hoping we do not need this Mary Quant cagoule in a bag during our time in Hay in our pop-up shop in Lion Street for the Hay Festival but we are well prepared if we do !

This very trendy 60s woollen trouser suit was donated to Vintage Vision yesterday and we all just love it. The cape top with its side fastening buttons is a special feature and as its made of pure new wool it is very snug and cosy. Pop in and try it on - its fantastic.

Seven Corners Youth Club have also used our sewing room and held classes with Emma our curent sewing teaching. The youngsters have been involved in making costumes for a local production of A Midsummer Knight's Dream but as you can see, on this occasion, they were more interested in trying on some of our wonderful vintage clothing than sewing.

Arts Alive, Crickhowell, have been running creativity classes in our sewing room during the last few Fridays and this photo shows how industrious they have all been altering garments etc. They certainly all seem to have a great time and even I have managed to pick up a few handy hints whilst eavesdropping.

If you are saving for a rainy day these two unusual umbrellas are available in Vintage Vision for only £5 each. I particularly like the snakeskin pattern although the pyschedelic version is certainly more uplifting (joke!).
