After a good start on Saturday the vintage fayre at Edith Weston got rained off on Sunday. Unfortunately not many 1940′s re-enactors turned up for either day, and I assume this was due to another event on the same day – and of course the weather on Sunday. Lots of hard work gone into the setting up of the event so it was a real shame that rain stopped play. I did manage to get a nice double lidded basket for steampunk picnics, and a lot of old wind up watches which will no doubt find their way into my jewellery soon!

From the craft point of view, it was sad that there was no dedicated craft tent this year and we were rather stuck at the end of the field, away from the music, food stalls and general centre of things. Will have to see what they plan next year as to whether I will do this event again.

But the stall opposite me on Saturday had this fabulous 1928 cat costume for sale! Reminded me of the graphic novel ‘Alias the Cat’

 

I made some new cards for this event, as it’s 1940′s themed and sold two of the 3d ones and a few small ones on the Saturday. Here’s what they look like:

Well, onwards and upwards as next weekend is now full with the CCA Kit Car Show in Newark on Saturday and the ever expanding Castle Bytham Midsummer Fair on Sunday. Weather forecast is rain for both days but am inside on Saturday at least. Sunday is a 30% chance of rain at the moment, so let’s hope we don’t get it after all!
