Donna Flower Vintage opens a new shop!






Hello My Lovely  Friends.  Long time no see.  My apologies for the long silence.
Just dropping in to let you know my exciting news.  I am opening a shop!!!  After years of being an online business, with the occasional textile fair and open house events, I am now opening my very own 'bricks and mortar' premises and will be running it with my daughter Jasmine.  This is the realisation of a long held dream for me.

Situated in Barnstaple, North Devon, Donna Flower Vintage will be selling vintage fashion, fabrics and textiles. The shop is a beautiful space. located at 10 Gammon Walk, just off of the High Street and will open on 27th September at 10am. 

The opening day will be a special event with cupcakes and goodie bags for the first 20 purchasers. Hairdressers Extraordinaire, Steven and Laurent will be on hand to do vintage hairstyling. 

We have some INCREDIBLE stock.   It will be a wonderful day and we would love to see you there.




Jasmine and I celebrate the sign going up.  This was an emotional moment

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!!!  


I cannot believe that we are in 2014 already.  2013 went by in a bit of a blur for me, especially the last half, which was a difficult time for me.  I am glad to be here in this bright, shiny, NEW year.

I am starting this year with a big January sale on my website.  From today until 10th January there is 25% off all my fabrics on the website.  Just use code NEWYEAR (in capitals) in the coupon code box to benefit from this discount.

I have also added lots of fabrics to the clearance section so there are HUGE bargains to be had.  Do go and take a look but don't delay as these are one-off unique pieces and once they are gone they are gone.

My fair dates for 2014 have now been added to this blog for you to take note of. There will be more and I will add them nearer the time. 

In the meantime, here are some pretty fabrics that have been recently added to the website for you to look at.
