London Finds

Whilst in London I did a bit of treasure hunting.  We only had tickets to Vintage 2011 for the Friday and Sunday so on Saturday we popped down to Brick Lane.  I say popped down because we stayed in the lovely Hoxton and were within easy walking distance.  Our first stop is the wonderful Albion Caff




The Albion sells delicious British food, cooked beautifully and has very attentive and friendly staff. We had a lovely breakfast, poached eggs for me, full English for my man.


Fuelled up, we then looked around the vintage shops and stalls in Brick Lane and the surrounding streets




Lunch was in the wonderful old Truman Building, sat in glorious sunshine, bliss!

These were some of the fabrics I found






I also found a lot of vintage clothing, pretty dresses, aprons and a fair isle waistcoat.



Just goes to show that many a bargain can still be had in our capital city!!

and my favourite purchase from the weekend was from the Market Place at Vintage.  This wonderful frothy number.  A gorgeous petticoat to go under my 50's dresses, or even to wear on its own with a cross over ballet top.  I just need more excuses to wear it!!
