Several awesome dancers from Newport strutted their stuff to 50s and 60s music at our Vintage Fayre. It was fantastic to see their moves and they obviously take their hobby very seriously as they were all experts at the dances and wore amazing vintage outfits.

We were very happy to see Councillor
Jane Foulser, Mayor or Abergavenny, at our Vintage Fayre on Sunday, 13th November but not too surprised as she has visited our shop several times and loves vintage clothing.

A lovely lady named Kim Davies had a stall at our Vintage Fayre. She cleverly makes beautiful jewellery and cake stands from broken and odd crockery. If you are interested in her product contact KiMMi (New Life to Broken Plates) on kimmi.handmade@hotmail.co.uk and I know you will not be disappointed.

As always we were fortunate to have the assistance of local people to model our fabulous range of vintage clothing much of which was sold on the day. However, if you see anything you fancy call in to Vintage Vision shop and play 'dressing up' for a while.

Vintage clothing, crockery, accessories and jewellery were just a few of the exciting items being sold at our Vintage Fayre last Sunday. We had a very successful day with hundreds of visitors all of whom were very complimentary about our event.

Tuesday mornings haven't been quite the same since Jean and Joan, two of our talented volunteers, agreed to help teach the arts of knitting and crocheting to willing volunteers. Here you see Emma, our newest volunteer, trying her hand at knitting.

The lady who donated this gorgeous Laura Ashley dress to the shop told us it reminded her of summer evenings, walking on grass, floppy sun hats, men in floral shirts and white sports cars - after all it was the 1970s.
The dress with this fascinating history is being sold in Vintage Vision for £25, was made in Wales and is size 12.
