Vintage fairs this Weekend

Couple of dates for those in London, both for this Sunday.

Vintage fashion Fair, Cecil Sharp house, Regents Park Road.
Doors open at 11am, £3 entry.
Head downstairs to see Debbie and Mickey at 'The Dress Circle'. They have the best selection of rare 40's/50's clothing and accessories, and their prices are reasonable too. I think they are the best dealers in town.
This fair is smaller than Hammersmith, but I love the atmosphere and the dealers are all lovely. This one is definitely my first choice.

Hammersmith Vintage Fair, Hammersmith Town Hall, King street, Hammersmith
Doors open at 10am, £5 entry
One of the biggest fairs in town. I find this one a bit hardcore, sometimes it can feel a bit of a bun fight. I have had items snatched from my hands here and the memory of several elbows are embedded firmly in my ribs, argh! I know these things are rare and beautiful but PLEASE!!! It's not very attractive! Anyway, well worth a visit, and much more pleasant later in the day. It closes about 4.30pm.
