I’m very excited about the Vintage Fair that’s on in Dublin this weekend, and I have a feeeeling that some of you out there might just about love and adore this kind of thing..!

It takes place in the Ballsbridge Inn (it used to be the Jury’s Hotel there..) this Saturday and Sunday. At the fair, expect to see:

Mid-century decor and furnishings.

A full-on line-up of fashion, decor and retro inspired events.

50 stands of vintage fashion, furniture, decor and memorabilia.

Vintage fashion show.

Retro dance lessons.

A live swing band, Midnight Swing to entertain you.

A seamstress on the spot to alter that gorgeous vintage find.

A  photographer who will take your photo as a memento of the weekend (charge for prints will apply)

Classic cars from the 60’s and 70’s and on Sunday two gorgeous vintage cars including a Bonny & Clyde Model A Ford.

Seriously, it’s not even a question. I’m there! Admission is €6.00 for one day, or €10.oo for the two days. Students are €4/€6.00. Fantastic pricing and congratulations to the organisers.
