Very Vintage Fayre

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.

For Mothering Sunday this year we decorated our shop with pretty aprons, hats, jewellery and handkerchiefs.

Mothering Sunday or Mothers' Day is held on the fourth Sunday of Lent. It is exactly three weeks before Easter. Traditionally people visited the Church where they were baptised.

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.
