Instagraming...

Hey lovelies,

So, after being a long life Blackberry user I've defected to the iPhone. I'm still getting used to it, although I do miss the practicality of the BB, the iPhone is much more fun! Consequently I've joined instagram, well @vintagejumbleaffair has joined instagram. I love the fact instagram acts like a micro blog and you can reach your followers instantly. Anyway, these are some pics i've taken over the week.

We would love to follow our readers so leave us a comment with your instagram user name, and please join us on instagram, you'll find us at 'Vintagejumbleaffair'.

Also, we wish everyone a Merry Christmas and wonderful New Year; may 2012 bring you all you wish for and much more.

1/  My Zara obsession continues;  I won't bore  you with how many items I’ve bought from their winter collection. Anyway, these boots are not my usual taste but for £29.99 I was persuaded.  

2/ Another Zara purchase, I had to hunt this jacket down, thank  God for Westfield! 

3/ My fav yellow chair, nobody sits on this chair but me! I had to beg my boyfriend to buy it when he was renovating his house... he hates the cushion! 

4/ Outfit I wore when I visited my friend in Cheltenham - H&M pink trousers, thrifted jumper and fur coat. I just love the regency houses in the background.  

5/ driving to Cheltenham and admiring the stunning senery.

  6/ Hummingbird cupcakes never fails to lift my mood.

7/ Amazing book cover prints from Bookish Designs , so many classics. 

8/ Upcycling my never worn chocker, i'll be blogging that soon.

Vintage Fair and Fun!

Hey lovelies,

Two weekends ago we took part in our first ever vintage fair at the historic Old Spitalfields Market, as part of Judy's Vintage fair.  At first, it was a bit daunting as we hadn't a clue what to expect and actually setting up the stall was a bit of a task - it was trial and error really but we finally got there!  Well, from the picture i think we did pretty well for our first time... we definitely learnt alot.

Our vintage 1970's wedding dress was a big draw -  we were flooded with costumers wanting to take pictures and trying on the gorgeous veil.  Our winter warmers and party dresses were also a big hit; the vintage black feathered velvet dress (pic below) went to a happy customer who was relieved to have her New Years outfit sorted!

We really enjoyed interacting with our customers and meeting other sellers, so we are definitely going to be doing more vintage fairs next year, maybe in the spring through to the summer, there is absolutely no way we can stand out side in this freezing weather!

Also, we will be updating what's new with us much more on our facebook page, so do 'like' us and 'share' our facebook posts with your friends.

Pretty much eclectic.

Hey lovelies, 

one of my pastimes is to look at my favourite blogs, actually I’m kinda addicted! I love seeing what other people are wearing; I’m really intrigued by people’s sense of style.  I've always wanted to share with our readers what inspires my style but unfortunately I don't have a live in photographer and I’m not particularly confident in front of the camera. Anyway, these are some of the pics my friend took of me on our way to some of the hidden vintage spots in Crystal Palace.

I initially had a turban on hence the messy hair, but my style, I would say, is pretty much eclectic, you will rarely see me immaculately put together, although I try... unsuccessfully!
