Update and This Weekend

Sorry it has been so long since we've posted any entries on the blog, we've been really busy and have lots to update you on!

The Chelmsford Vintage Market in February was another roaring success with about 640 people through the doors, another fantastic turnout which included a few familiar faces from the last market, we are so glad that people liked it enough to come back! We had a great day selling lots of handbags and jewellery as well as lovely dresses and knitwear. Now that Spring is truly here we look forward to seeing lots of you at the next market on Saturday 27th March ready to buy summery dresses and other gorgeous items. We have some new traders booked in so we'll give you some more information about them next week!

We have also been booking in to some fantastic outdoor events for the summer and are really excited about taking TMV out on the road! As soon as we have more details we will of course give them straight to you, so keep checking back for more information so you can start to plan some summer days out.

This Sunday (21st March) we are going to be back at the Vintage Market in Brick Lane. It's been a few weeks since we were last there and we have missed our lovely friends and customers so we are really pleased to be back. While we've been away we have been stocking up with lovely summery dresses, bags and jewellery all ready for you to wear in the beautiful sunshine we have been basking in and which we know will continue the whole summer long ;-) We hope you can make it down to see us, if you do make sure you say hi and mention this blog as we'll be able to give you a 10% discount on everything you buy from us!

Thank you for reading, have a fantastic day and weekend and we hope to see you very soon.

Last month we had lots of smiling faces as people discovered the treasure trove of goodies available right in the middle of town and lots of shopping bags left very full! You can check out the pictures from last time further down the page of this blog.

This month we have been working hard to source even more fantastic clothes, accessories, fabrics and home wares for you to peruse and we also have a fabulous jewellery made from vintage materials, all created by local talent Johanna Meadows.

We will also have a tearoom serving homemade cakes, as well as live acoustic music and original artwork on display and for sale.

What a fantastic weekend!

Wow! All we can say is a massive THANK YOU to all the lovely people who came down to the vintage market on Saturday. We had over 650 people through the door and lots of smiling customers leaving with bags containing their special purchases. We really enjoyed meeting lots of you and also got some great feedback about what was great and what could be improved to make it fantastic. We really appreciate all of your comments and will make sure we consider them when planning starts again for the February event on the 27th!

We could not have done it without the help of our lovely friends and families who came down to help out, so special thanks go to all of them too!

We will hopefully have some photos of the event to post in the next few days so check back to see if you can see yourself!

As we said the next market is on 27th February between 10am and 3pm so we hope to see you all there, we'll be posting reminders and more information closer to the time so keep an eye out for all the details.

See you soon
