We are looking forward to having Ugly Duckling back with us again at Frock Around The Clock @ Belfast Castle this Sunday. We haven't seen them since our Lisburn event last September so can't wait to see what new creations in upcycled furniture and homewares they will be bringing with them. Here are some of their past inspirational pieces........

I'm delighted that Linda from Hey Homewrecker will be back at Frock Around The Clock @ Belfast Castle on 7th April as she took part in our first ever vintage fairs back in 2008/09 when she was known as Rip It Up. Linda was the first person I knew who covered old furniture pieces in vintage magazines so she always has innovative upcycling ideas and projects on the go (take a look at her Hey Homewrecker blog where she chats about her crafting, decorating and thrifting activities).

At Belfast Castle Hey Homewrecker will be selling recycled vintage prints and crafty birds, handmade cushions, cards and vintage homewares - here is a wee preview........

 We love these Christmas decorations and gifts with a country home and vintage feel from Inspire & Desire who will be with us at our next event FROCK AROUND THE CLOCK: A VERY VINTAGE CHRISTMAS FAIR at Lissan House, Cookstown on Sunday 2nd December.

Hampton Blue will be joining us once again at FROCK AROUND THE CLOCK on Sunday 4th November at Malone House in Belfast, offering a treasure trove of desirable accessories and gifts at affordable prices, as featured in Good Housekeeping, Prima, Practical Parenting and the Daily Express.

At Hampton Blue you can find that special gift or a little self-indulgent treat from semi-precious and costume jewellery to scarves, bags, gifts for babies and children, wedding gifts, and home accessories –the list goes on! Here is just a small preview ......................

Deborah from Papillon wowed us all with her restyled furniture range when she appeared at our Diamond Jubilee event in June and our Lisburn event in September, so we can't wait to see her new creations when she attends FROCK AROUND THE CLOCK on 4th November at Malone House. Here are some of our favourite past images which showcase her upcycling talents!

We were delighted to see Sew What It's Vintage @ Sew What Interiors at St George's Market for the first time last Sunday. Just look at all the gorgeous goodies on that stall! I love the pair of ceramic birds and the scrap book with old postcards, and the big ceramic dove. You can catch Alicia at Frock Around The Clock Vintage Fair @ Lisburn next week and she will be bringing some of her Annie Sloan chalk paint with her. There is only so much she can carry so if there are any particular colours you would like her to bring please get in touch and let her know.

Frock Around The Clock takes place on Saturday 22nd September from 11am to 5pm at Castle House, Lisburn (opposite Castle Gardens and beside the college) and thanks to the kind sponsorship of Lisburn City Centre Management and SERC this event will be Free admission!
