Expo Hall, Melbourne Showgrounds Ascot Vale

Love Vintage
One of my best friends Jenny came across details for this Vintage show (nice one Jen!), and we checked it out this weekend.
The Vintage expo has been showing in Sydney for the last 5 years, but this was the first time in Melbourne, and it was fabulous!
Just under 50 exhibitors had all their glorious vintage treasures on show and for sale.
Everything from furniture, jewellery and fabrics, to buttons, perfumes, patterns and magazines. The standout for us though would have to have been the gorgeous vintage clothing. Gorgeous dresses, shoes, coats, scarves, ties and much more!
There were also several demonstrations on the main stage area over the course of the 3 days. We caught the morning session of the 'Lindy Charm School for Girls' demonstration of Vintage Makeup & Hairstyle Techniques.
So, a great day and really good value for $14 entry which includes all the demonstrations on the main stage (except the private lessons and makeovers).
We are already looking forward to next year!
