Lou Lou’s Vintage Fair, Bristol

11 March 2014

On a very sunny March 1st, we walked over to The Passenger Shed by Temple Meads train station to snoop around Lou Lou’s Vintage Fair.

After queuing for a little while, we paid our £2 entry and walked into a huge room full of stalls. Each stall was jam packed with vintage goodies, from clothes to homewares, as well as records, jewellery and curiosities.

I decided I wasn’t going to buy anything, due to my sad-looking bank balance, but had a lovely time hunting for treasure anyway. My favourite thing at places like this is always the gorgeous patterns on the clothes, and the way they’re arranged together.

The next Lou Lou’s Vintage Fair is on the 17th May, which is two days after my birthday! So I’m hoping I’ll have a bit of birthday money to spend.

Will I be seeing you there?
