Modern Movement Design Fair at Brockwell Lido

Over the Bank Holiday I had a delightful rummage at Brockwell Lido 'Modern Movement Design Fair' Herne Hill, London. I liked the fact that I had the option of cooling myself off If I needed to, after getting so excited over all of the lovely retro treasures which were up for grabs. A glorious sunny day made this one of my most pleasurable shopping experiences to date. Here are a few pic's, I'm gutted on reflection I wish I would have brought the gold robot!

swimming and shopping- 'swimping'?!

love these bold retro printed swivel chairs

vintage french educational cards, tres magnifique!

These are class A treasure finds, amazing colours & illustrations

50's illustration, what is crazy dog up to? well I'm sorry I cant tell you as it looked to be written in french, but I do know I love him.

especially love the tiny espresso cups & saucers

Display with blue sky too lovely to buy

who would have thought I would see an owl & a robot in Brockwell Lido today.....

cool outdoor furniture, you can have custom made with any colour at ends (ps this is my boyfriend)

The green Ivy queen long awaits her prince from the castle on the hill. The End.

Right that's enough rummaging for me, time for brekki at the Lido cafe(its sooo good)

this little piggy went to market....

What an amazing day we had yesterday at the local Northcross Road market in East Dulwich, South East London. The sun was shining at last, and everyone was out exploring the market and making the most of it.

 Our Ketchup on Everything stall looked the best of course! ;0)

 i LOVE our new BIG ORANGE gazebo, the only one that colour at the market, and it matches the

colour of our bedroom carpet.

 my home made sandwich board looked great

 The Fantastic Mr Mark Fox was a great help, couldn't have done it without him. Thanks Mark!!

 My screen prints and tea towels went down very well with the locals, and I so happy to know my prints will be hung on lots of walls today! :0))

 We were very lucky to have The Dulwich Ukulele Club turn up late afternoon and play some amazing music, my favourite being the Mexican song about drinking- 'Mohito' have a listen!!
