Last thing about camping then back to vintage...








Sunday 31st May 2009 Amazing best ever weather! camping is the best, now I have sand in my hair and smell like a fire but feel lovely and brown and refreshed from the sea - I have to go in even if I don't feel like it due to 7 year old boy going in huge waves alone otherwise. Managed to wear an old 20s summer dress and use my old Chanel bag for a bit of camp chic and only one camping row when big Rob drove my car too fast up the very bumpy track and ripped off the under carriage, all fixed now. More dresses and jewellery being put on this week and getting ready for the Tribal Art and Vintage fair on Sunday 7th @ The Hilton Olympia, London - do email me for tickets. I have found three huge African kaftans from the early 1900s and some art deco headresses..... last thing about camping - here is a picture of a tent the same as mine - beautiful but quite an art to put up.

Note to the lovely comments about my tent! you can get them online by searching Sahara Bell Tents - I went for the large one with wooden pegs and rope guys......xxx samaya

Stroud Vintage Fair....

Saturday 23rd May 2009 Crazy web week, went offline for a few days due to I do not know - my web man has it fixed now. Stroud Vintage Fair (www.stroudvintage.com)was lovely today, really relaxing as quiet but still saw all my regular visitors and bought myself some antique cushions (they don't smell antique) a 1940s coat and a sweet 1950s cardigan (wrong season but you can never tell when you will find something perfect). It was great to see Fran again, she bought the little 1920s fringed dress that I have had restored, it looked incredible on her but she said she wanted to wear it over her jeans! Hopefully she will get some nice footless tights instead....I sold this lovely early 1900s beach dress to a Bristol lady this morning, it can be ruched up for paddling!


Monday 18th May 2009 Absolutely knackered after Frock Me and Hammersmith yesterday. I still have to unpack so thought I would delay by doing emails first....we had a great day at both fairs, lots of new visitors and it was lovely to meet Cleo and Mark from c20 finally, if you have not seen their website have a look: www.c20vintagefashion.co.uk incredible Ossie Clark pieces and lots more....I found myself a beautiful Dior 1970 (stamped) necklace and a huge canvas holdall - I am going to use at as a pillow on long journeys. Stroud vintage fair is this Saturday 23rd - I will be there - bit nervous about it as I am going to a friends wedding on Friday and never usually go out the night before a fair! Come on Sunshine...

Intersection - German Edition Launch

Rick Owens

Sunday 10th May 2009 I had a good read of the supplements in todays papers and there is a great article in the Observer Woman about Rick Owens, I'm going to visit his new shop in South Audley St, London W1 as soon as possible, I think a leather jacket (hopefully like the one pictured below) by him will be a great investment....have a look at the new collections: www.rickowens.eu/ There was also a good piece on skirts, women of all ages looking great in minis...they did all have nice legs though, I could not get away with minis even in my teens, too much muscle not enough length.

Redland Green

5th May 2009 I did a stand at the Redland Green Fair yesterday, which as it suggests is on a green, outside in the cold, right opposite my mums house. I had my vintage jewellery out and a few bags and shoes and we had a great day - thanks especially to Edie for helping me!. My mum and sister were selling their home made mirrors and vintage kitchenalia.....I really prefer indoor vintage fairs, much more civilized. I met up with Chris today and I have the new stock images - here's one amazing mirror top for now - perfect for summer...more dresses and jewellery will be loaded up on the website in the next few days. . . .
