The Antiques, Vintage and Retro Fair yesterday at Hexham, Northunberland was the 250th consecutive event, with not one missed since 1991...quite a feat considering, snow, floods and extensive building work at Wentworth Leisure Centre have caused a few headaches over the years.
For a midweek Fair it is always extremely busy with both trade buyers and members of the public...
And as a way of thanks....complimentary cake and sherry were provided for everyone and three lovely, long standing lady exhibitors were invited to cut the cake....

ReplyDeleteDelicious looking for something beautiful, I'm very jealous.
But nice that you showed it here.
And Of course, congratulations!!!!!!
With warm regards,

Hi Julie,
ReplyDeleteA lovely welcome of cake and sherry for two first time visitors. We loved the fair and
bought some lovely things. I am the very happy owner of the french postal sack now reclining on my bamboo ladder in my sitting room! Regards, Jayne
Who is the dashing young chap alongside the ladies??

SHERRY !!!! CAKE !!! I can assure you Julie, that no amount of snow or water would prevent me coming to an event like that if I knew beforehand.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it went really well.
Congratulations, you were obviously very modest about your organisational skills when we met. Hope you've had time to put your feet up.

How I wish I could persuade Mr N to venture up to the Hexham fair these days! I used to LOVE this event - your photos made me green with envy. (Surely you are MUCH too young to have been attending since 1991!)
