Not so swell news

Bad news, everyone!

Turns out that the Queens of Vintage won't be having a table at The Affordable Vintage Fair after all. What a difference a day makes, eh? I guess that'll teach me to be over-zealous with my blogging...

...but the good news is that this gives me more time (and resources) to prepare for the Handmade Fair in Winchester on 5th July. I'm really looking forward to exhibiting at this fair for a few reasons, the main ones being that:

a. I bloody love handmade goods
b. I went to the University of Winchester, and therefore the city is very dear to my heart (it was the original capitals of England, don't you know!)

To find out more about the various Handmade Fairs that are happening this year, click the image below:


Apologies to anyone who was possibly thinking of visiting me at The Affordable Vintage Fair. Unfortunately hese things happen and it couldn't be helped. I still plan to attend and spend a small fortune as a vintage hunter, so if you are thinking of going too, let me know and perhaps we could a cup of tea and a chat?

Thank you for reading and for your understanding,

Many thanks,

Frankie
