The Big vintage and fashion fair at the Printworks Manchester

The Printworks was a great location for this fair, with vintage stalls lining the streets and handmade creations begging to be perused. Then down in the depths of Pure nightclub was me, my stall and a whole load more than that!

Vintage fashion was very much alive at this fair as well as many lovely people trying to make a living by making and selling their wares like me!

The day started off slowly with just a few people trickling in and out, i was lucky enough to have a great position at the top of the stairs which everyone coming in and out had to pass!

Half way throught the day i had a visit from my friends Elly and Jess from Nellie and Elsie

who kindly looked after my stall for a few minutes while i dashed off for some much needed food!

I managed to re home a few of my creations and had an all round great day!

Heres a few snaps (appologies for the lighting but nightclubs with oraange and green lights make difficult working conditions!)
