Back in August I made a long awaited trip to Sunbury Antiques Fair at Kempton Park which is actually much closer to me than I thought. I went in search of inspiration for work, and although there were some relevant things, it was a much better trip for vintage interior finds..
These penguin books were one of my favourite finds, but to be honest, there was so much there that it would be hard to choose one stand-out treasure! I didn't buy the books (I would need a suitable home for them which I don't currently have) but I'm jealous of anyone who did snap them up!
I did buy a few budles of the brightly coloured twine for present wrapping which actually turned out to be candle wick! At £1 per bundle my Christmas present s are going to look gorgeous and bright!
I have quite a few of these antler trophies around our home, but at £9 each these were a bit of a bargain. But I was good, and just bought one!
BUT I did bring home a little friend with me! Here is Fred celebrating Mr A's birthday:
And he surprised me by dressing up yesterday to celebrate my 30th:
Isn't he pretty?!

Kempton Park antiques market happens twice a month on Tuesdays and, if you can make it, it's worth a trip! Although I found some bargains, the dealers are pretty wise to what things are worth, so not everything is as competitively priced as the nick knacks that I found. The next date is Tuesday 25th October but click HERE for future dates.

Hi Phillipa
ReplyDeleteHope you are keeping well, was just wondering how you went about getting your pics in the bridal mag. Was it your photographer that did that for you?
Best wishes
Andrea
Hi Andrea,
ReplyDeleteMy very talented photographer put our photographs forward to the lovely people at Cosmo Bride/You and Your Wedding. Generally I think Photographers will set up meetings with features editors to show them their latest work and portfolio then the editors will be in touch should they think that your wedding is right for their readers... If you are keen to get in a magazine, you could ask your photographer to email the features editors at whichever magazines you are interested in. Also, often magazines will want exclusivity over photographs, as will the bigger blogs like 100LayerCake, OnceWed and GreenWeddingShoes.
Hope this helps?
