Vintage Vintage Vintage

There’s a joy and warmth in buying vintage clothes and incorporating them into a modern day wardrobe. Colchester is full to the brim with retro ware fairs in the upcoming months.

Thought we’d send out a quick blog post showcasing two we’re looking forward to:

Organised by our resident member Katie Kennedy, follow her on twitter and join the facebook page to keep updated. Finger crossed the ruin doesn’t spoil the day. We’ll still be there supporting the Katie and enjoying Colchester Town lit up with the fair.

Junk Jamboree will be a fabulous indoor market held by the crafty Liz Cardy. Join the facebook page to share the event. If you’re interested in stall bookings and further info please email Liz.

Junk Jamboree Vintage and Craft Market

Local crafty wonder Liz Cardy is looking for artists and local creatives who would be interested in running a stall for the upcoming Junk Jamboree Vintage and Craft Market.

We haven’t got an ‘official’ Junk Jamboree blurb as yet. But basically she would like you to email or call 07733 455245 if you would like to be considered for a stall.

Liz is looking for for craft stalls, shabby chic style, handmade stuff, sweets, but not cakes please.

The event is Saturday 5th May, 11am until 4pm at Cardinal Bourne Hall on Priory St in Colchester.

Sounds like the perfect event for Colchester! Please pass the info on to anyone you think might be interested.
