Sorry it's taken so long to update this but we are really pleased to announce that the September Chelmsford Vintage and Handmade Market was a fantastic success with over 400 people through the doors ready to spend their money on the gorgeous products on offer from our biggest range of stall ever! All of the stall holders had a great day meeting their customers and making lots of sales so thank you to everyone for your support.
The fashion show presented by Truly Madly Vintage and the Chelmsford Fashion Club was also a great success and really made an impact with lots of gorgeous girls strutting their stuff in vintage fashions, a picture even made it into the Essex Chronicle - check out the link http://www.thisistotalessex.co.uk/news/Vintage-market-success/article-2671949-detail/article.html. The Fashion Club will return in November so come along to see how they present the clothes and maybe get some new ideas for your winter wardrobe.
Also new for September was the lovely Plum Fairy tea room selling lovely cup cakes and slices of homemade cake, they were so lovely that they sold out! They will be returning in November so make sure you get there early to grab yourself an iced confection and see what all the fuss is about.
If you made it along on the 18th, thank you for your support, we hope you enjoyed yourself! The next event will be on Saturday 27th November, just in time for some Christmas shopping so make sure you put a note in your diary and we'll see you there!

Truly Madly Vintage is part of the Chelmsford Arts Trail
We are really pleased to be involved with this year’s Chelmsford Arts Trail which started on Saturday 11th September and continues until Saturday 26th September. The trail takes you around various shops and businesses around Chelmsford town centre and at each one you will find a piece of art work created by a local artist being exhibited. The artist that has been selected to exhibit in the window of the TMV shop is Susan Hilton who creates original, interesting and beautiful pieces from items that have been discarded by others. We can’t wait to welcome her to our little shop and to have the exciting new pieces of art work on view. Don’t forget that all of the work on display as part of the trail is for sale so if you see a bit you love you’ll be able to get in touch with the artist and hopefully take it home after the trail ends.
You can collect a map from the West End Art Gallery (opposite the bus station) or in any of the host venues including the TMV shop and then follow the route around the town. The trail is completely free and available 7 days a week, you can get more information on the route and where to get more details about the artwork on show at the Chelmsford Borough Council website by clicking on this link www.chelmsford.gov.uk/artstrail
We hope you enjoy supporting the Arts Trail as well as the businesses and artists that are taking part.

What's happening in the world of Truly Madly Vintage?
Firstly, many apologies for the lack of updates recently, we've been super busy with sourcing lovely new items for the shop and also stalling out at our first music festival as well as lots of other exciting things, we promise to be better and to update you more often from now on!
The Hop Farm Festival went fantastically, thank you to those of you who came along and said hello to us, it's always lovely to meet you in person. We had a fab weekend, helped by the gorgeous weather and really enjoyed ourselves. We will definitely be returning next year and it has also confirmed that we want to lots and lots of festivals next year so we will be booking up as many as we can, hopefully we'll see you all there! We'll be posting the photos from the event very soon so look for the updated posting.
But before we get onto 2011 (that really sounds futuristic doesn't it?) we have plenty left for this year. The next big event is Vintage at Goodwood on 13th, 14th and 15th August which we are sure you have heard about by now. It promises to be a fantastic weekend of vintage fashion, music and culture and we can't wait. If you have not got tickets yet the voucher code to get your discount has been extended, just type in VINFRI10 during the checkout process to claim your money off- a fantastic idea we're sure you'll agree!
We will then be onto the V Festival in our home-town of Chelmsford on 21st and 22nd August. We will be running a competition to win a free ticket so make sure to check back for more information over the next week or so.
