I'd not been to Durham for years, and even though it was a very cold day it was fun walking round the very pretty streets with the boards promoting the fair. We had loads of people coming up to ask us where the fair was. Did you spot us?
The Town Hall is a very beautiful building and was a great backdrop for all the lovely things that were for sale. It's always interesting with these fairs to see what our stallholders bring to sell. Now the weather's turned colder the clothes stalls of full of Christmas jumper, coats and hats.
There were also lots of items that would be great for to wear to Christmas party. Sophie our interns had fun trying on some things. In the photo on the left she's modelling a fur hat from Vintage 18. You won't get cold in one of those!
If you really wanted to make a splash at the Christmas party then an eye catching hat from Trica Stikans stall might just do the trick! In the photo on the right, Sophie tried on this beautiful orange hat with feathers. And she also (in the photo on the left) tried on a stunning tiara made from up-cycled jewellery by lovely people from Pippy's Vintage. Perfect for adding some Christmas sparkle to you party dress!
The tearoom at Durham was provided by Lavender Fields - who not only had the array of cakes on offer in the photo on the right, but also did some winter warmers such as soup and toasted tea treats.
We're now on the run up to our big Christmas event - York Does Vintage which is on Sunday 2nd December 2012. It's going to be amazing! So join us for some Christmas shopping and loads more at the Merchant Adventure's Hall from 10:30am.
York Does Vintage at Christmas!
