Ardingly Vintage Fair

I loved Ardingly Antiques Fair! If you love vintage you will too. Held an hours drive from London on a sprawling farm more commonly used for selling cattle, it is not for those afraid to get messy. The dirty cow sheds made for an odd backdrop to the thousands of stalls, piled high with an eclectic range of things, from junk to collectibles.

Old family photos, blackened with time and worn by generations of curious hands, lay alongside vintage silk scarfs and slightly musty smelling seventies dresses. Elsewhere there was furniture in varying states of decay, an abundance of quirky tea cups, cake stands, hats, a stuffed seal and even the odd prosthetic limb. I tried to capture it with these photos (below and above). See the website for details of the next one.
