Whoops, just noticed my washing line - you don't think I'm becoming obsessed do you ?

Can you spot the deliberate mistake in this photo ? You will need to learn about vintage clothing if you are thinking of coming to our Vintage Quiz which is being held over the Food Festival weekend at Vintage Vision.

PS. The top has a 1970s 'flying saucer' design and the skirt is a 1950s 'Rockabilly' type garment.

Just to remind you of the great fun we all had at our last Vintage Fayre which, I am sure, will be surpassed on Sunday, 7th August, when we will repeat the experience. We have more stalls than ever this year so bring plenty of cash because you are going to need it.

This lady and her two friends bought several items of vintage clothing on Saturday and looked fantastic in all of them. I believe that some of the clothes were worn at the vintage dance on Saturday evening which was organised by Blaenavon Heritage Committee.

Lunchtime was great fun when we went in the hall for a wartime treat. We had spam sandwiches and marmite on plain white bread - not very healthy but certainly filling. I have lipstick on my paper cup and sandwich due to the thick layers I wore to try and attract a passing soldier but no luck !

However the day was saved when we later ate Rabbit Stew and fried Jam sandwiches cooked by Franco of The Walnut Tree fame.

Alison, another of our volunteers, whose special interest is in restoring furniture and linen, wore a very smart outfit to help in the Vintage Vision shop in Blaenavon on Saturday.

The beautiful lady in the photograph wore one of our vintage items to walk around town and certainly attacted a lot of attention.

Elizabeth, one of Vintage Visions volunteers, looked amazing at the Blaenavon Heritage weekend and, although looking very pensive on this photo, had a fantastic time as we all did.

This friendly couple had made a special effort to look the part at the Blaenavon Heritage weekend last Saturday and Sunday and don't they look great.
