YES you guessed correctly... Discover Vintage is back! Oh yes, this is it. Be prepared for the some serious vintage loving as 2012 is set to be our busiest event year so far (and hopefully yours too)! We have so much to tell you all but where to start... Yes, right, The Beginning: Well, Starting us off on our 2012 journey is our utterly wonderful Vintage Wedding Fair in Harrogate (19th Feb). This particular event is always a pleasure to do as it attracts such a lovely bunch of people! Seeing beautiful brides embracing the vintage theme whole-heartedly means a lot to us so we are very excited to welcome back this event to our 2012 calender and we look forward to meeting many more blushing brides very soon! Can't make the Harrogate one? Do not fear, we also have one coming up in Chester on 11th March! Next up on your hit list should be our Discover Vintage event at the York Barbican on 4th March (doors open from 11am-4pm and entry is only £2.50)! We are delighted to be sharing this event with you again, last year's had an oh-so vibrant atmosphere - so much so that the excitement was almost addictive...therefore it.is.back. We hope you will join us for more vintage action with plenty to keep you occupied all day long (homewares, kitchenalia, fashion, curiosities - the lot! All dating from 1920-1970).  But alas..... If our 60+ specialists just aren't enough for you (maybe you are on some sort of vintage high - like a sugar high but so much more glamorous!) then feel free to explore the wonder that is... VINTAGE EMPORIUM! Yes, we have a shop and it is just around the corner from the Barbican (open 12-4pm) - convenient much? We think so! Only the best is good enough for our fellow vintage-lovers. NOW, YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE: Discover Vintage will now introduce to you our brand new event - The Vintage Home Show! Ahhh finally, a vintage event dedicated to home sweet home! And the debut? Sunday 18th March in London at Chiswick Town Hall.  Be prepared to be inspired - no need for Laurence Llewelyn Bowen here, you can be your very own interior designer! With the show focusing primarily on the mid-century modern style, we can guarantee there will be gasping and admiration galore as you become introduced or reacquainted with iconic household classics, whether that be furniture, accessories, textiles, lighting or artwork - we've got it covered! With around 40 exhibitors attending you will no doubt be in expert hands! Periods of design include Art Deco, Modernism, Atomic and Mid-Century with the dateline spanning from 1930-1970. What are waiting for? Clear some space in your barely opened 2012 diary and save the date!! We want you all to have some fun and this show is just the ticket - promise! Don't forget to keep checking back for more updates - there will be plenty more dears, we have barely even scratched the surface! In the meantime, I shall leave you to explore the links provided and you can start organising your vintage schedule! Happy 2012!! DV x |

Yes, that's right we have moved on to bigger and better things (well, a bigger office plus more stock storage space buuuut you get the idea - we are growing!) The move has got us all dashing around doing hard labour - I mean women doing heavy lifting who would have thought, eh? Ah well, all in a days work! BUT alas, the grafting has paid off - look how lovely and welcoming our new office is... SPOTTED: Keeley Harris - the one and only creator of Discover Vintage, all hard at work (with no coffee in sight - hardcore!) YES! Keep calm and carry on people...it's the only way! No office is complete without one of these! Ahhh, the meet-and-greet area. They don't look it but THOSE amazing chairs are super comfy (the proof is in the perching...) We just love this picture! Very 1920s. SO, it would seem that a day in the office is hardly a daunting prospect when you have one like this! Hmmm, wonder how long the novelty will last?! DV x |

Our weekend in Leamington for the Vintage Home & Fashion Fair really was an adventure - we met plenty of interesting characters to say the least!! The event was held at The Royal Pump Rooms - an exceptional venue, perfect for welcoming our vintage-loving guests and our stall holders certainly didn't disappoint either (do they ever?). We were just so thrilled with the sheer variety of items available at the event - it made for some great displays (and some interesting talking points). We really hope that everyone who attended enjoyed it as much as us - any feedback is always welcome and we look forward to meeting more of you at our next event! In the meantime, here are some snaps for you all to lust after... DON'T forget to keep checking back for details on our next set of events! DV x |
