The frosty wind stung my face, the bitter cold ate at my hands (normally I would be wearing my Ugg mittens but I left them at the M&S self-service), the ice on the floor made walking dangerous and my bloody over the knee boot kept falling down. I was thirsty and hungry from the walk. But despite all the elements being against me I made it to my destination.
Yes kids that’s right, I made the 3 minute walk from my flat to Baby Blue on the Albert Docks!! And why do I hear you ask, have I risked my life on a Sunday morning to go to such a place?? The answer is this...Pill-Box Vintage Fair!!
It was my first step into the vintage world and I liked it. It was a lot smaller than I anticipated and really rather dark but I figured this to be a good thing as anything to big and I might have had an early afternoon breakdown!! Plus, the baby giraffe overslept so I was all on my own.
About 35 minutes later my purchases (a long knitted jumper complete with bow and pockets, a silk scarf and a paisley print long sleeved dress) and I left, slightly warmed from the shopping high and ready to embark on the dangerous walk home.
Just to clarify, I made home ok. The baby giraffe approves of my buys, which means that I wasn’t blinded by all the shiny things.
