★ It's PRETTY Old ★

With my LOVE of all things vintage I have decided to do a regular feature called "It's PRETTY Old" showcasing the vintage "treasures" I have recently bought.

I don't think a week goes by without me buying something, even if it is just a 50p book.

Here goes...

Sunday 5th May

Advintageous fair, Scarborough Spa

5 x penguin paperback books

Ship in a bottle (Tom)

 & Paper moon postcard (1907)

Pretty floral Handkerchief

Lots of lovely FREE leaflets

Please take a look at my It's PRETTY Old shop where I sell my vintage treasures.

★ Advintageous fair ★

One of my favourite things to do, like EVER is looking around local charity shops, car boot sales and auction houses trying to find little vintage treasures.  It is rare that I will walk out of one of these places empty handed!  

I recently visited The AdVintageous fair in Scarborough, it was packed full of stalls selling everything from vintage clothes, jewellery and bags to old photos, books and suitcases!  I was in heaven! 

Here area few of my pictures taken at the fair...

Lots of colourful, patterned vintage dresses!

Lovely battered old suitcases

Mickey Ramsbottom & the Alka Seltzers

I couldn't resist the penguin books and bought five!

The next Advintageous fair is at Bridlington Spa Sunday 26th May, it's well worth a visit!
