June and July proved to be busy old months, what with 2 bustling fairs and several interesting commissions.
After a hearty smattering of sales and a day of chatter with those treat seeking regulars and fellow crafty types at Holmfirth’s Contemporary Art Market 12th June, Rachael wheeled her suitcases, rugs and chattels along the breezy west cliff, early on the 21st July, to be met by a whirl of shoppers at the Whitby Pavilion Vintage Fair.
A dreamy room of glitz, aged fabric finery, subtle gramophone ambience and luscious nick-nacks had enticed people from far and wide. Hats off to Caroline of ‘Rose & Brown’ for working such wonders with the marketing. Rose & Brown even organized a splendid picnic lunch day trip, transporting 20 of their regular Saltaire customers to their Whitby event on a streamlined 1950s coach! Rachael's stall was a near sell out and she tottered back home later on in the day with only a box of stall trimmings and a couple of things that were just too 'way out there' to find themselves a new home.
