Vintage cushion making evening

On the 3rd of March in Burnham I'm organising a vintage inspired cushion making evening run by Sarah Barlow. I've added a few pictures of her lovely creations above/below and she will I'm sure be providing some lovely fabric for the evening. All materials will be supplied as well as copious amounts of tea, coffee and cake.

Great way to make something fantastic, fashionable and unusual for any part of your home as well as having a good old natter and a very sociable evening!

Please email me at acooper78@btinternet.com for full details and to be kept informed of any other exciting crafty evenings in Burnham.

Leigh-on-Sea Vintage and Handmade Fair 2012

Just set a couple of dates for this year's Vintage and Handmade Fair at the Community Centre in Leigh-on-Sea - 24th March and 30th June. Hoping to confirm two other dates for this year but the future of the community centre is uncertain so will have to keep you all posted.

If I can no longer use the Community Centre then I will definitely be looking for other suitable venues in Leigh.  Any ideas then please let me know, also looking at other venues in Essex . . .

If you are interested in having a stall then contact me via my website or at acooper78@btinternet.com. Always keeping my beady little key open for cool and interesting crafts or funky vintage sellers to add to the fair.

Just thought I'd let everyone know about the next tea dance I'm hosting along with 'All the tea and China' at the Military and Naval club in Southend. Ticket prices include dancing from A2 Jive as well as all the tea and cakes you can eat from our authentic tea room. You will also have the opportunity to have your hair styled from the Hair Aid Shelter. Tickets are £15 and available in advance from me at acooper78@btinternet.com. What a perfect way to spend an autumn afternoon . . . . x

Interested in having a stall?

The next Leigh-on-Sea Vintage and Handmade fair is on the 17th September.  Tables are £35 and if you would like more information please message me through my website or facebook page.  Last Saturday's one was lots of fun with about 60 stalls and quite a good foot fall due to lots of postering/leafleting and a fab article in the Evening Echo on Friday.

Looks like September's fair is hotting up too.  Please look at the facebook group for more pictures and comments. x x

Vintage and Handmade Fairs 2011
