Fifties Fair Day 2011 photos
It was overcast, but no rain thank goodness.
I spent way under my budget this year, but still came away with some good finds. The eye candy is worth the $25 entry fee alone.

I finally had my chance to wear the 1950s Koldin taffetta dress I had been saving. Pink piped besom pockets, self belt and piped neckline – so fun to wear! The skirt’s swirl is amazing.
I said I spent under my budget, but this is 2011’s haul: 1958 Beyer Mode (german pattern magazine, like Burda), two pairs of clip on earrings, a repro-vintage hankie, two sets of vintage buttons and this ultra-kitsch lamp base. I need to find the perfect shade now!
I love shiny things, and those pink ones will get worn heaps i’m sure. The red buttons in the centre I plan to use on my Cherry Cardigan.
I hope everyone else had a fab weekend too

Your dress is amazing, you look amazing!!!
How did you find the crowd? I always find it a bit too much. I do love looking at everyone all dressed up though, the best looking crowd.
