With two flyers for vintage and second-hand clothes events having taken pride of place on my fridge door for the past couple of weeks, this weekend was one eagerly awaited, and it didn’t disappoint.Saturday saw Hove’s Oxfam shop transformed into a snoopers’ paradise for vintage-enthusiasts, with the usual stock stored away and only the best retro gems allowed to reside on the racks. The place was packed as word spread and every corner offered up equally enticing items; from clothes, shoes and accessories through to kitsch home-wares.
Sunday provided an equally alluring prospect, playing host to a ‘Loved, Worn and Reborn boot-ique sale’ – a better-class of car-boot or jumble-sale – in a little-known Brighton church hall. With clothes-rails interspersed with tables flaunting home-made gifts, cupcakes and mulled wine, a warm Christmas atmosphere radiated and, once again, there were some fantastic finds to be snapped up.
The best of my haul

Hi Joanne - thanks just read this, it's great! Thought you might like to know that the next Loved Worn & Reborn event is this Sunday 7th March,same venue St Luke's Church Hall, Exeter St, Brighton BN1 from 3-7pm. Got a lot of great vintage stalls, new heavily discounted sparkly Kaftans, handmade silver jewellery and Ridley & Dowse (www.ridleyanddowse.co.uk) are taking a stall too. They make silver jewellery, cards and will also be selling clothes and accessories - they had a hand in starting TRAID's Remade Label so I'll be making a beeline straight for their stall!! Hope to see you there! Nathalie
