We love the images of the latest arrivals at It's Vintage Darling. Available from their gorgeous vintage shop in Markethill, and also at Frock Around The Clock on Sunday 7th August. Come on down early so you don't miss out!

I love this gorgeous 1950s dress at Norma Jean Vintage - the can can dancer fabric is just amazing. The bright yellow inserts in the skirt make it a full circle swing, it has concealed pockets in the side seams and it is a really flattering fit as shown when modelled here by my friend Claire.

This little beauty is an approximate size 10 and is available from Norma Jean Vintage at Frock Around The Clock on Sunday 7th August - form an orderly queue girls!!

Beadylicious is one of our oldest exhibitors, having been with us since Frock Around The Clock first moved to the Holiday Inn in 2009. We love their gorgeous designs, many of which revamp the old into the new, creating perfect jewellery and accessory pieces from recycled materials.

It's been a while since Me Auld China took part in one of our fairs, so we are really looking forward to seeing Maria and Andy at Frock Around The Clock on 7th August.

With bases in Dublin and Bangor Me Auld China is a blossoming business  that make beautiful one-of-a-kind, unique cakestands from vintage china. It all started with a beautiful 3-tier 1950s cakestand that Maria bought for her wedding in 2009, having fallen in love with it the moment she saw it. Discovering that old cakestands are difficult to get hold of, Maria and Andy began collecting vintage china plates to recreate the authentic feel of the beautiful cakestands from the past.

For Frock Around The Clock Me Auld China will have a great collection of tennis sets available. Also known as hostess sets, they are a saucer/plate combo that allow you to hold your cup, saucer and plate in the one hand, freeing up the other hand to concentrate on cake - beautiful and practical.

Also available to 'Pimp Your Plates' Me Auld China offer a bespoke service whereby they can customise your plates to create a truly personal cake stand.  A great way to give your heirloom plates a new lease of life!

Me Auld China also provide a tailored rental service for their extensive china collection, ideal for wedding receptions, christenings, afternoon tea parties, birthdays, or hen parties, from a small gathering of 10 to 300 people or more. 

You can visit their website www.meauldchina.com  for more details or join them on 'Me Auld China' on Facebook for all the news.

How's this for a great find....... Harris Rundle opticians have discovered a load of deadstock spectacle frames in their storage dating from the 1960s - 80s and they have made these up into sunglasses and will be selling them at Frock Around The Clock on 7th August!! A lot of these are high end pieces like Nina Ricci and Silhouette which would have been sold for a lot of money at the time, but will be available at Frock Around The Clock for £25 a pair complete with case!

We are delighted to welcome Mazy May's Vintage to the next Frock Around The Clock Vintage Fair on Sunday 7th August.

I'm delighted to have finally finished designing the new website for Decadence vintage fairs, which now mirrors the website for our vintage bridal events. Both sites have easy links on the menu bar and picture links on the home page so that you can switch between the site for our general vintage fairs (www.decadencevintagefairs.com) and the site for our vintage bridal fairs (www.decadencevintagebridalfairs.com) in an instant.

Eventually both of our old website addresses www.northernirelandvintage.com and www.decadencevintageclothing.co.uk will be phased out, but for a short time we will be automatically redirecting traffic to the new website address.

I hope that you like our bright new look and find the new sites easy to navigate. Prospective exhibitors will find the application process easier than before as images can be uploaded directly to the online application form.
