The First Reclaimed Home Fair. Photo by @paulgrundy

September has been a busy month for us selling at some really lovely Fairs. First up was Catesby’s in Exton, Rutland which was such a treat as it was in such beautiful surroundings and organised with such care and love by Jonathon and Neil. I hadn’t visited that part of the country before but was really taken by the area. Look out for their Christmas fair and do visit if you can. There will be some lovely things to buy and their cakes are utterly delicious! Then it was on to an old favourite, Queens Park Day in NW London. I have been doing this one with Lorna of Rosemont Vintage for about twenty years now and I can honestly say it just gets better and better. Just the right blend of summer fete, stalls and entertainment for all the family in one of the nicest parks in London.  Then the last Fair of the month was the Country Brocante, at Daylesford in Kingham in Oxfordshire where, despite the rain, customers flooded in to snap up all the wonderful things on sale. Another not to be missed for the future if you haven’t already visited.

So now we look to October and a big date for us…yes, Saturday the 27th October is the second Reclaimed Home Fair which I organise with Heather Lawson of @hellishdesigns.  We had our first event in April in the Town Hall in Chipping Norton and it was a huge success…fabulous stalls with a great range of vintage sellers as well as some really creative makers. We are working hard to make the second similarly wonderful so please come along and visit us in the Town Hall in the centre of the town. Entry is just £1 and we also have a little tea bar with homemade cakes. We will also have a special event in the downstairs hall during the Fair…more details to follow.

But before then I must get out searching for treasures. I have various buying trips coming up so please follow me on Instagram @dorothystiven to see what I find along the way!

Hope to see you soon.
