Totally Bazaar Vintage & Handmade Fair
/
Start saving your pennies for the Totally Bazaar Vintage & Handmade Fair on 3rd April.
The Retro Rooms Fair was my first experience of Northern Irish Vintage Fairs, and I loved the atmosphere so much that I'll be selling some bits at this next event.
Not just me however, a fantastic mix of 50 vintage dealers and Irish creative designers - offering both genuine vintage and upcycled clothing, accessories, jewellery and homewares. Totally Bazaar is both a vintage shopping extravaganza and an occasion to find something wonderfully unique that can't be purchased on the high street.
The Bazaar is on Mother's Day, so its a good place to pop along to after Sunday Lunch. There will be retro hairstyling and make-up application in the vintage beauty parlour and scrumptious cupcakes and handmade chocolates will be available to purchase. All mums visiting on the day will be entered into a free draw which will take place at the fair with the chance to win vintage hair and beauty vouchers, vintage jewellery and accessories.
Sunday 3rd April 2011, 11am - 4.30pm
Holiday Inn, Ormeau Avenue, Belfast BT2 8HS
Admission Adults £3, Under 13s £1

A Kitsch Classic - The Ship in a Bottle
/
I have a confession. I don't own a single ship in a bottle. It's my ship in a bottle shame. By now, with the amount of car boot sale & charity shop trawling I do, you'd think I'd have at least one of them. It must be rectified. Hurry up, car boot season.
