Did You Enjoy York Does Vintage at Christmas?

Christmas Is Finally Here!

We certainly made sure Christmas started in style at York Does Vintage on Sunday 2nd December 2012.  From the feedback we got we know you all enjoyed it!  Lots happy people went home with some truly lovely gifts for their friends and family. 

We had an amazing 1400 people through the door and through the day we had queues forming of people.  So a big thanks to our fabulous flyerers, who despite the cold did a sterling job walking round York to let people know about the fair.

Apart from all the shopping, there was plenty of other things to do.  As always we had our tearoom run by Yorkshire Teas.  There were plenty of Christmas treats for sale, including Christmas cupcakes and mince pies.  I sampled one of the mince pies - the first one I've had this year!  And very nice it was too.

Entertainment on the day was provided by Phil Lyons, who sang some vintage style big band tunes, and threw a few seasonal ones in there too.  In fact we had a couple of comments back from customers who said he was so good that at first they didn't realise he was a live singer and thought it was a CD on.  One customer even asked him for his autograph!

We had three craft workshops on the day.  Granny's Sewing Box ran the bunting workshop.  If you're wondering how they made all this lovely bunting in the photo on the left, then I can let you in on a little secret - it was cut out and glued on.  The bunting was then left to dry on a radiator.  It's so easy to do anyone can try it at home.  Go on, give it a go!

Capricorn Creations were doing jewellery making demonstrations throughout the day.  Look at these lovely rings on the right that people had a go at making!  We also had some beautiful cake making demonstrations from Cakes by No More Tiers.  These Christmas cupcakes in the photo on the left were so cute! 

So, that's the end of our vintage fairs for this year.  We hope you've enjoyed the vintage experiences we've brought you in 2012 - and now it's on to 2013!  Keep an eye on our blog, Facebook page and Twitter to see what we've got planned for next year!
