Happy Sunny Monday everyone! After a fantastic long weekend at Portal to Past, I’m feeling refreshed and inspired. I spent the weekend socialising meeting new friends, and marveling at all of you dressed in stunning vintage styles. Note to self: next time, remember to snap photos! Some of you truly outdid yourselves - with incredible outfits, hair, and makeup that transported us straight to a 1940s/50s Vogue cover. It was a feast for the eyes! 🥰
Our Willow and black-and-white pieces, along almost sold out. The Bears - completely gone (random, I know! 😂). Only one Willow bracelet and a pair of black-and-white earrings remain until I find more suitable teacups of that kind for cutting. Wish me luck at the car boot this weekend - finding Willow (the non-mass-produced and blurred type) is always a challenge, but I love a good hunt!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by my stall, especially those of you who came with a mission to find that next special piece from Andrea’s Attic. Your support, especially from returning customers, truly means the world. To celebrate our near sell-out of black and white, I brought home a stunning 1950s black-and-white beauty. As soon as I saw her (BagLady-D), I knew she had to be mine—thank you, Diane!
Big thanks also to our lovely stall neighbour friends, whose company made the weekend even more enjoyable: Jane of , Fiona of , Audra of , Laura of , Gill and Mark of .north.vintage , and Paul of .blog .
Next up, we’ll be at the first of our two May markets at New Earswick Village Market this Sunday. Can’t wait to see you there and share more vintage treasures!
