The Reclaimed Home Fair

If any of you follow me on Instagram @dorothystiven you may have noticed that I am involved with a new venture which I am really excited about. The Reclaimed Home Fair @thereclaimedhomefair, which I am organising with the super stylish Heather Lawson @hellish44 , will have its first outing at the Town Hall, Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire OX7 5NJ 10-4pm on Saturday 14 April. Admission is just £1, coffee and cake is available and we hope you will be bowled over by the range of wonderful stallholders who will be exhibiting. Heather and I decided to launch the Fair in Chipping Norton as we both have stands in the excellent Station Mill Antiques Centre in the town and love the vibe of the town centre. It’s always busy and has such interesting independent shops and regular markets. Chippy, as it is affectionately called, is, of course, in the Cotswolds, much loved by tourists,  but we have noticed that it has also become a fantastic hub for antiques, interiors and general style.

We would love you to come along and see what we are offering at our inaugural Fair which promises to help you to reclaim your home from the mass market. We have stalls offering antiques, vintage, textiles, hand sewn gifts, decorative pieces, Spring flowers to name but a few.

Also to tempt you we are running what I think is a really interesting workshop, featuring Rebecca Lawson @malmo_and_moss, the hugely popular Instagrammer whose take on family life and interiors style is really worth following (just ask her current following of over 50,000!) and the Antiques/homes/interiors journalist Alice Roberton @alice_roberton who writes for a range of publications including Reclaim magazine. Both will be offering advice on how to Capture Your Style thorough Instagram, Blogs and Print. It will be an interactive event so there will be plenty of time to ask Rebecca and Alice for tips about using Instagram as well as where they find their interiors inspiration.

Cost is £15 and includes entry to the Fair, a glass of fizz and a goodie bag. Places are limited so if you would like to book a place then email thereclaimedhomefair@gmail.com  to get details of how to pay to secure your place.

Hope to see you there!
