Candid Cafe
I stumbled across this lovely cafe when roaming around Islington the other day.
With only a door as its shop front with a mounted horse above it and up a flight of stairs, the cafe felt like entering something which was almost secret.
Inside, a long banqueting table in the center making a cup of tea for one much less lonely.

BRICK LANE - new kids on the block!
After Christmas The Vintage Girls will be getting a permanent stall at the Brick Lane Vintage Market in the Old Truman's Brewery. We shared our stall last Sunday with Dominique's Ginger pigeon Vintage. It was a fantastic day with lots of laughs and a sprinkling of Jack and coke!
So as of January we will be hoarding our beautiful vintage to the East End every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Brighton!!
Over the weekend we packed up our vintage goodies and headed to the seaside. We stayed in Journeys hostel and shared a room with 16 other girls!! The bunk beds with curtains were very cosy but sometimes there were some unpleasant smells drifting about :-s We went for a wonder around Brighton town and headed to beyond retro warehouse to browse the vintage, I picked up a stunning silver stitched poncho with beading-my early xmas pressy! That night we headed out to brave the Brighton night life, we resisted the hot tub in walkabouts even though Sherri was dressed for the occasion in a retro swimsuit with G-string!!!
The morning of the vintage sale we headed to Brighton race course where the fair was taking place, we set up our stall and floated around hoping to spot some vintage treasures for ourselves!!! Then soon it got extremely busy and we sold lots of our fave bits. There was tea served in china teacups and saucers and delicious muffins and pretty cupcakes. Lucy who was selling Mary Quant stockings and socks spotted a great little gem, black hand made leather hot pants with white pained pattern and large diamond gems over them. well done luc!! After selling most our beloved items the fair was over and we were knackered. All in all we had a fantastic day.
As the evening drew in we headed out this time to the hidden hide outs and Brighton's secret boozers, we managed to stumble across a cute homely pub called the zone. Little did we know we walked into a drag queens 40th birthday party where he\she was the entertainment, of course! After checking out some more random hot spots we called it a night.
We absolutely adored Brighton and can't wait to return.

Hertford Vintage Fair
Strolling through Hertford town a little lost with nothing of much interest around, I was handed a flyer by a young girl for a local vintage fair which I just had to check out.
The fair only cost £1 to enter and was very nicely set up with rock and roll music playing softly around and a quaint little 1950's style tea room set up at the back with cupcakes and tea in a cup and saucer.
There were around 13 traders, each selling an excellent variety of vintage clothing.
The next one is on the 20th November. Check it out.
I bought this suspender belt which I think will look great with black tights.
Love Sherri x
