Vintage Nostalgia

Last weekend we filled the car to the brim with vintage goodies and traveled to Salisbury for The Vintage Nostalgia Festival. Unlike previous events we had attended, this was a three day event, with people coming from all over with a real interest and knowledge of vintage. Within the first few hours of being there, before we had even set up our space we had done brilliantly, selling enough to cover the stall rate already! This just goes to show that having the right type of people around makes such a difference. Although at the Southampton Market there was a great footfall, it wasn't necessary the correct consumer type for the What Alice Found Brand. 

   We ended up with a really great space, sharing with a vintage VW van company (in which we camped in at night which was a new experience!) We decided to make our stall look like a mini version of the shop, so this meant turning our gazebo into a mini Wonderland. We went a little bit crazy with the flowers and even made our own changing room which people loved!! 

Our pretty DIY changing room!

We were pretty busy the whole weekend / we were too busy enjoying the rare sunshine so I feel like I definitely didn't take advantage of all the amazing vintage style wandering around! I planned to do some street style on our last day but it just so happened that everyone disappeared really early so I only got a couple but look how great this customers look in their vintage get ups! 

Vintage Couples were turning heads! 

Loved this all red combination! 

I loved this ladies vintage sunglasses! 

Looking great in bright sunflower print! 

I even joined in and got my hair done at The Vintage Hair Lounge! 

Overall it was a really fun weekend and a success for What Alice Found too! It's fair to say that being surrounded by people who genuinely love and know about the vintage trade makes for a much better selling opportunity! We have two more festivals planned for the summer so keep an eye out for more blogs about these, can't wait!
