This was me at Perton's vintage and craft fair yesterday,
 |
| 1960s Sportaville catsuit (Second To None, previously seen HERE) worn with a heap of Indian Lamani gypsy jewellery |
surrounded by stock!
 |
| Raff Simons tee shirt (99p, Age UK), Diesel Black Label waistcoat (£3.25, Compton Hospice), 1960s Tootal scarf , flat cap, tooled leather belt and unbranded jeans (all jumble sale finds) |
My glamorous assistant.
We managed a decent profit with yet more cash added to the travel fund (and Gilbert was a lot lighter). I'm already Googling flights!
My clothes rail, groaning under the weight.
 |
| Jon's new £1 jacket (previously seen HERE) |
A face frozen from too much smiling!
Buy my stuff!
I resisted the temptation to spend any of my takings although there were a few frocks that caught my eye over at my friends' Ellen and Dawn's stall. Check out those maxi dresses!
If I don't become a millionaire from flogging vintage clobber maybe I can turn my hand to modelling. I got asked to pose for a professional yesterday, what do you think? I'm linking to Patti's Visible Monday.

The fair was great, alas I'm a poor student so I couldn't buy anything! I would have come over and said hello, but I have a bad cold and can't speak (and I'm more than a little shy..)! You looked lovely, though.
ReplyDeletexx

ReplyDeleteWhat an inviting stall with all your fancy signage. Glad that the day went well.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually surprised that you haven't been selling a vintage fairs already. It's so much more satisfying than selling online, in my opinion. I've just found a clothes rack in the trash, so I hope to do the same soon.
That photo of you is incredible!
The B&W photo is fabulous, now you're ready for another side career as a model or the stage, or...
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your profitable vintage sales. You and your lovely assistant look snazzy as all get out and surely brought in customers on that alone!
Sounds like the fair was well worth it, hope the sales helped you feel better! You and Jon are a perfect advert for your wares. The B&W photo is stunning, I could see you following in your mum's footsteps x

I am not at all surprised, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I'm so happy that you are checking flights! This is an exciting process even vicariously. I agree with the other commenters - you are a fantastic model! You are beautiful, which goes without saying, but your personality adds just that perfect glint in your eyes - and you can't fake that.
ReplyDeleteSuch shame that we live in different countries ! Would love to visit your sales !
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words and I will try to get us together on a photo some day .
I love decluttering when you make cash at the same time! Also its a good feeling when you can start googling flights as your travel budget is healthy:) Vix you could totally be a model, you look so striking in that photo!
ReplyDeleteYou would be a dream model for me! I would love to see your gorgeous mug and bod in the pages of Vogue. Vixen Vogue!
ReplyDeleteWow, oh my god you look so beautiful in the photograph. Definitely a great model I reckon. Well done on the profits too. Just wanted to let you know too, I am reading your blogs, but usually I do it on my phone and it's developed this great quirk where I can only comment when it fancies letting me. It's a total pain, but I wouldn't want my favourite ladies thinking I'd forgotten about them. x
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! How neat to get "talent scouted"!
ReplyDeleteFabularse! I want to buy your stuff,darl!!!! Especially when you and your glam assistant are looking that good! I;d probably be offering you money for other goodies too.........!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad that travel fund is growing,makes it all worthwhile,and it sounds like fun,too!

ReplyDeleteThat stall looks cracking - nice to hear the holiday funds are filling up nicely.
ReplyDeleteAnd holy smokes - gorgeous pic :D xxx
Wow, looks like you had heaps of vintage heaven on your stall and I'm not at all surprised you did so well, I'm sure you were part of the attraction. David Hubball obviously thought so! Fantastic shot of you.
ReplyDeleteThat b&w photo of you is beautiful Vix, they've captured the fact that you're interesting as well as gorgeous I think. If I didn't know you from here I'd be intrigued by who that woman was in the picture.
ReplyDeleteYour stall looks so loaded with goodies, I'd be tempted by that picnic hamper even though I'd probably never get my lot to sit down and be civilised enough to have a pretty picnic, I could at least look at my hamper and fantasize. xx
Lovely photo! and I wish I was shopping at your stall, what a lovely load of treasure!
ReplyDeleteYour professional photoshoot is amazing!I think that Kate Moss is shi**ing herself!!You always look stunning and I could kill for a catsuit like that, I think it's brilliant that you worn it with those shoes and jewels!You and Jon are the best looking sellers i've ever seen!

ReplyDeleteWith your figure and your looks you can ALWAYS turn to modelling, Vix. The sale looks like so much fun - I would surely be tempted to come home with more than I came. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI had to look twice at the black and white photo because at first glance I could've SWORN it was a vintage photo of Cher!!
ReplyDeleteYou looked fabulous and your stall looked so amazing!!
Your assistant is just too cute!!
{{{hugs}}}}
Its so cold isn't it. You look gorgeous as always you could definitely be a model.
ReplyDeletexx

ReplyDeleteYour photo is beautiful. You do look like a professional model. You look so regal!
ReplyDeleteThat black and white photo is gorgeous, you do look like a professional!
ReplyDeleteI saw the black and white photo on Visible Monday and thought,"What the hell?!! VIX?!!" You look so gorgeous, but then you always do. You should be the spokesmodel for all things vintage and glorious.
ReplyDeleteI thought of you today as I went to Rag-O-Rama to sell some things. They're all set up for Halloween, with the best so-called costume stuff. I saw so many fabulous 70's pieces, I nearly passed out. I wish you had been here.
Your booth looks enticing; hope you made a small fortune. XXOO
Wow, wow! Gorgeous portrait!
ReplyDeleteVix, that picture of you is just gorgeous! It truly captures you!! Your energy, your pretty face! It's great!! And my hat is off to you for not spending your earnings. I have such a hard time with that!!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Lynn
I see some pretty cool items I would love to own! I think its awesome that you do something you love to travel some where you love! Your b&w photo is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI so would have wanted your picnic basket. Your modelling shots are perfection!!!! I love black and white photos the best.
ReplyDeleteThat black-and-white portrait is gaw-juss.
ReplyDeleteOh wow that B&W pic is fab!!! Sounds like you had a good fair, looks like a rubbish venue though with those fluoro lights...maybe not?? who cares when you do well, good on you, hope you get better soon!!
ReplyDeleteSo envious of your stall, it looks fabulous! I bet it must be thrilling selling handpicked treasures to vintage lovers.
ReplyDeleteDon't think I've seen a black and white photograph of you before, you look stunning Vix, spiritual and beautiful in every sense xxx
*Eeeep* The vintage fair looks choc full of treasures. I am almost 100% sure I would leave there broke.
ReplyDeleteThe picture of you is gorgeous!
So glad you made some bucks from your stall - I would have definitely scooped some of your stuff! Excellent restraint on your part to not shop at other's stalls. Of course you are model material, and a damn sight more interesting to look at than the unformed babies that frequent the runways and the fashion mags.
ReplyDeleteYes, you should model! That last photo of you is stunning.
ReplyDeleteyou look stunning in the photo
ReplyDeletealways do!
I stalling up at vintage fairs, but dont you want to spend all your takings on other peoples stalls.... too tempting!
