Vintage & Handmade Fair ©
Unique Handmade & Vintage Treasures
A Wonderful Alternative To The High Street!
The "Vintage & Handmade Fair ©" is the brainchild of Jayne Soule & Michele Chivers & was featured in the November 2008 issue of Homes & Antiques Magazine & the January 2009 issue of Sew Hip. On the 18th April 2009 it was also featured in an article in the Financial Times. It has also appeared in The Western Daily Press & The Yate & Sodbury Gazette.
The fair is held in Chipping Sodbury, a pretty south Cotswolds market town.
It is a unique collaboration between a group of Bloggers, crafters & sellers who either make wonderful handmade items or sell gorgeous vintage items.
