This year our Summer Vintage Fayre is being held on Sunday, June 23rd from 10am until 4pm at The Market Hall, Abergavenny. Once again it promises to be a fantastic day with our usual vintage stalls, fashion shows and vintage cafe but this time we also have a photo booth and prize for the best dressed visitor.

The 22nd June is the 50th anniversary of the Beatles playing at The Town Hall Ballroom, Abergavenny and this theme will be reflected in our Fayre. The Beatles played alongside the Fabulous Fortunes and with tickets costing just 12 shillings and sixpence and late transport to Brynmawr, Crickhowell and Pontypool, who could resist.

Bernadette and I had a great day recently when we attended a vintage fayre organised by Very Vintage at Cardiff Metropolitan University. We took vintage clothing, pretty crockery, handbags and kinky boots and £660 was raised for Dr. Barnados by the end of the day.

Gorgeous Crochet Parasol

This beautiful parasol was crocheted by a renarkably clever lady who lives locally. She used a very old pattern that she found and won first prize at The Usk Show. After winning several times in a row she stopped entering so that some-one else could have a turn.
