Get Your Glad Rags On - It's Newark Again!


Hooray! The Newark International Antiques & Collector's Fair took place again this week - this Spring event was dazzling, with something for everyone...


Sparkly stuff


Leathery things


Sporting goods


Serious pursuits


Vintage style (the indefatigable Bizzie Lizzie of course)


And pure whimsy!

Someone even found love...

  1. Hello:
    How absolutely splendid. We should have so enjoyed spending the day there with so much to fascinate and intrigue. We wonder if you came away laden down with purchases?!!

    1. We didn't see him that day, only his "experts". I agree - he is a charmer - we have seen him in action "in the flesh" and he is very kind & considerate to the contestants.

  5. With your keen eye for fashion, I have to say you made a super job of Mr N's patchwork trousers...a little raggy perhaps, but very colourful!

    1. Yes, it's exhausting keeping up with his need to be on trend - he's loving the hippy look at the moment. My fingers have calluses and I'm wearing holes in my thimble!
