The Secret Vintage Fair donated some of the door money back to the hospice, and in addition, a further £100 was raised from the best dressed competition, and over £2000 was raised by the hospice from the catering, stalls and raffle that the Hospice organised.<br />
<br />
Lucy Craymer, founder of the Secret Vintage Fairs exclaimed: “We are absolutely thrilled to have raised so much for the Hospice, who offer incredible care in our region, and we are so lucky to have them here in beautiful Thorpe Hall! There is always someone I speak to who has a connection with the Hospice, and they have been wonderful to work with. Thank you to everyone who came, shopped, traded, bought raffle tickets, and explored Thorpe Hall and made the event such a joy to organise! We look forward to organising many more in the region-and perhaps more at this venue too- sign up to the mailing list on the website to find out more.”<br />

The SVF team recently handed over the cheque for nearly £1800 to the hospice, who treated them to a scrumptious afternoon tea in the on-site cafe at Sue Ryder hospice- we thoroughly recommend a visit!! We also discovered that the money raised is enough to fund 17 days of nurses at the hospice, or 36 family support sessions! The hospice has a challenge of raising £1.3 million a year just to keep operating, so we were so delighted to have raised such a good amount for them from the weekend of Halloween Vintage loveliness!</div>

We visited Sophie T's recently, with some friends to celebrate a couple of birthdays, and what a glorious place it was to celebrate! We were treated to sumptuous and generous portions of sandwiches, with a variety of fillings, scones, clotted cream and jam and a selection of cakes too; coffee and walnut, victoria sponge, chocolate and carrot cake...and even better, our Lullabelle was able to enjoy every mouthful as they offer Gluten Free options too!<br />

Owner Lynne clearly has a passion for the vintage lifestyle, and the old fashioned tea rooms in Yaxley, are decked out in such a manner that makes you feel like you've stepped back in time 60 years as soon as you walk through the door. And we were delighted to be entertained by a wonderful pianist tinkling some classic old tunes over the ivory keys.<br />

Do make sure to visit this place at some point if you've never been, whether it be for a special occasion, or just a trip out one weekend, but in line with the true vintage nature of the place, be sure to take cash as cards aren't in use!<br />

<b>SECRET VINTAGE AUTUMN SPECTACULAR TO HELP SUE RYDER APPEAL</b><br />
<br />
The Secret Vintage Fair are planning something rather special this coming autumn in Cambridgeshire, a two-day vintage shopping and live music spectacular, in a secret location, to help raise funds for the Sue Ryder Hospice.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAROGMcVEblfJlGX4ZDjqNytYF8z1ndBX5eWj4lT0LjEc-y8iHjfK7WCrs-3yfkf-NKaLrWpynIhDS-_snJskrFMmA-PYoMSrbr_xc3qO_SuyEAu5YqWebdFlbDRHs8JE1O-wv7pg2lzo/s1600/Secret+Advert+with+two+girls.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAROGMcVEblfJlGX4ZDjqNytYF8z1ndBX5eWj4lT0LjEc-y8iHjfK7WCrs-3yfkf-NKaLrWpynIhDS-_snJskrFMmA-PYoMSrbr_xc3qO_SuyEAu5YqWebdFlbDRHs8JE1O-wv7pg2lzo/s320/Secret+Advert+with+two+girls.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The weekend of October 31st and November 1st, will see a huge vintage fair take over a prime Peterborough landmark, our lips are tightly sealed as to the location, and will be ‘keeping mum’ until the end of the summer. The two-day event will also incorporate workshops, live music, and entertainers, with a spooky Halloween twist!<br />
<br />
The Vintage Fair will showcase a variety of stalls, selling vintage homewares, clothing, kitchenalia, haberdashery, steampunk, jewellery and accessories, as well as quality handmade craft items, and so much more! Customers will also be able to indulge from a delicious selection of refreshments available on site, and, those who really want to spoil themselves, can pre-book for an exclusive afternoon tea experience.<br />
<br />
Customers are encouraged to come dressed in their vintage finest, as the Secret Vintage Fair team will be awarding a prize to the best dressed vintage guy and gal they spot across the weekend, in the Vintage Photoboth provided by vintage photographer extraordinaire Dexter Morgan.<br />
<br />
Across both the Saturday and the Sunday, there will be an array of different live music and entertainment and so customers would be advised not to just come on one day but to turn up to both! There will be live appearancea from <a href="http://www.jademayjean.co.uk/" target="_blank">Jade May Jean Peters</a>, a star from BBC’s The Voice, and top electro swing <a href="http://www.tallulahgoodtimes.com/" target="_blank">DJ Tallulah Goodtimes</a> will be on hand to act as our Mistress of Ceremonies! There also may be a jester or two lurking about!<br />

Concept creator of the Secret Vintage Fairs, Lucy says, “We are so glad to be supporting the wonderful Sue Ryder Hospice for this event. They provides exceptional care across the region and we wanted to show our support, I can’t wait to see how much money we can raise for them!”<br />
<br />
Whilst Janine and co run the Essex and Suffolk events, Cambridgeshire born Lucy teamed up with her vintage loving colleague Charlie Ives last year to expand the fairs, and the pair have already hosted three vintage events together, in Stamford, Oundle and St Ives.<br />
<br />
Charlie says, “The best way to stay informed of updates for this event and many others is to sign up to our mailing list, via our website to be the first to find out any news and information on our future fairs and secret locations. To date the Secret Fairs have already raised over £3500 for a variety of charities and we hope you will come along to support the hospice on 31st October AND 1st November!!”<br />

<b>FASHION</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With an eclectic mix of vintage, reproduction vintage and artisan made fashion and fashion accessories showcasing in Colchester Town Hall on Saturday, it's the perfect opportunity to style them together in a fashion show on the main stage of the iconic Moot Hall. At the Secret Vintage Fair we believe style can be sustainable and reinvented as well as beautiful, most pieces are vintage or handmade so have a lower environmental impact. In addition the fashion show will aim to raise the awareness of and some money for The Tom Bowdidge Foundation through donations from the traders involved and any donations from the public who view the show. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>BEST DRESSED</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Vintage is such a personal thing and we think that it is not just the retailers who should dictate the style but YOU the customers who wear it. As such during fair and the remaining period of Style Destination we will be picking a ‘Best Vintage Dressed’ winner. Those interested in taking part can put themselves forward, plus we’ll be buttonholing the lookers ourselves! Entry is £1, all of which goes to The Tom Bowdidge Foundation, the entrants photo will be taken for us to look back on and use for social media purposes. The Best Dressed shortlist will be selected by our judges and announced on our Facebook page at the end of Style Destination on Saturday 2nd May. Likes and votes for favourites will be taken into account before the final decision is made. The vintage victor will receive a £20 voucher from one of our sponsors, East Coast Diner, plus receive VIP entrance to the next Secret Vintage Fair where they can have a professional photograph taken by SJR Photography.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>STYLE SELECTION</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the fair we intend to stage an area as a studio style set up. Our styling team will be wandering around the fair to pick out and select the best outfits, accessories and homewares to shoot in an editorial style way. For the fashion shoots we will be using models from the fashion show and styling them in various traders’ key pieces using SJR Photography to photograph them. The background will be kept plain and muted so that the garments and accessories stand out. Plus for the homewares, these will also be co-ordinated and curated into still life shots with a very editorial feel. The aim is to produce a selection of strong imagery that we can use for Secret Vintage News (our online fair zine), for PR to pitch to a cross section of media contacts, our website and social media channels. All involved will have appropriate accreditation. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>ENTERTAINMENT</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not only will you be able to walk around and peruse the retailers at the fair but we are also have a jam packed line-up of entertainment on the day which we hope inspires our customers to try something new. From our family-friendly non-risque burlesque which aims to inspire body confidence, to the dapper riders on penny farthings throughout town showing style doesn't have to stop just because you are on the move. </div>

Well maybe, just maybe you'll find out if you come along to our next event, which is indeed, held in St Ives! This old nursery rhyme / riddle well predates anything you're likely to find at our vintage fairs, but some argue it was definitely written about the Huntingdonshire ancient market town.

We will have two floors of stalls ranging from vintage clothes, beautifully made crafts, eclectic homewares and much more for you to enjoy. It’s a perfect way to start your Christmas shopping though we can’t promise you won’t want to keep it all for yourselves. The second floor also has a beauty parlour to make sure you look divine for the day including vintage hair styling, make up and a new addition for the fair, a nail bar.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once you’ve shopped till you dropped at the stalls and glamoured at the beauty area, you can settle down for a scrumptious piece of cake and refreshing cup of tea with the pop up tea rooms from Ruby’s Vintage Tea Party.</div>

<b>More than Just Shopping</b><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have entertainment on the day from the wonderful Fox, Wiggle and Sass, a 3 piece who sing the 40s, rock and roll the 50s and swing the 60's as well as some Christmassy numbers to keep us all moving. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Also a new addition to the fair this time, will be dance workshops from A2 Jive who will be hosting two 45 minute workshops during the day- the first at 11am is Swing Jive and at 2pm it’s Wartime Dance Party. Each session costs £3 per person and it is recommended you bring a partner.</div>

<b><b>Charity</b></b></div>
<b>
</b>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As always with Secret vintage events, a proportion of the door fee and proceeds from the charity raffle goes to charity- this time we are supporting Age Uk Colchester. Although known as Age UK Colchester the charity is a small, independent charity affiliated to the national body and is responsible for its own finances and fundraising. It receives a small grant from Age UK England and another small grant from Colchester Borough Council but must raise the rest of its funding itself and is therefore heavily reliant on donations and grassroots fundraising. Age UK Colchester operates a number of services to benefit the older people of Colchester and its surrounding environs, including an Information Service; an Advice and Advocacy Service; a Consumer and Energy Advice Service; a Legal Advice Surgery; an Osteopath Surgery; and various social clubs and activities throughout each month<br />
<br /></div>

See you TOMORROW<b>!!!</b><br />

Lucy said “We wanted to support <a href="http://www.each.org.uk/">EACH</a> as they are such an important regional charity who do truly amazing work of an incredibly delicate nature. <a href="http://www.each.org.uk/">EACH</a> care for babies and young people up to the age of 18, supporting families, children and young people living with life-threatening conditions across Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk from diagnosis to end of life and throughout bereavement. They do this through a range of services delivered where the family wish – in their own home, at hospital, in the community or at one of <a href="http://www.each.org.uk/how-we-help/our-hospices">their three hospices</a> in Milton, Ipswich and Quidenham. We are so thrilled to be supporting them, and you can help by donating to the birds of prey, or entering our charity raffle, plus enter our “Guess the name of the vintage dolly” contest to win £50 cash on the day, and £50 goes straight to the charity</div>
<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
Charlie from the SVF team says “We always make sure we create the right atmosphere at our events, and we only choose the finest vintage purveyors to trade with us, so as a customer you can be sure of finding only quality vintage, pre-loved, handmade and up-cycled goods at our fairs- but you also get to enjoy a wealth of nostalgic atmosphere too!”</div>

Built in 1905 as the Grand Theatre, Liquid has been many things in it’s over 110 year history, from cinema to discotheque and now for once again it will be full of our festive vintage fair!</div>

We will have two floors of stalls ranging from vintage clothes, beautifully made crafts, eclectic homewares and much more for you to enjoy.

The second floor also has a beauty parlour to make sure you look divine for the day including vintage hair styling, make up and a new addition for the fair, a nail bar. Once you’ve shopped till you dropped at the stalls and glamourfied at the beauty area, you can settle down for a scrumptious piece of cake and refreshing cup of tea with the pop up tea rooms from Ruby’s Vintage Tea Party.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
And don't forget as always with Secret Vintage events, a proportion of the door fee and proceeds from the charity raffle goes to charity- this time we are supporting Age Uk Colchester. Although known as Age UK Colchester the charity is a small, independent charity affiliated to the national body and is responsible for its own finances and fundraising. It receives a small grant from Age UK England and another small grant from Colchester Borough Council but must raise the rest of its funding itself and is therefore heavily reliant on donations and grassroots fundraising.</div>

<i>The Secret Vintage Fair are thrilled to be supporting Age UK Colchester for the next fair on Saturday 29th November at a secret location to be revealed on Friday 14th November in the Gazette. We spoke to the Age UK Colchester tea to get a bit more nformation about who we are supporting this time round.</i></div>

<b>Independent Charity</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although known as Age UK Colchester the charity is a small, independent charity affiliated to the national body and is responsible for its own finances and fundraising. It receives a small grant from Age UK England and another small grant from Colchester Borough Council but must raise the rest of its funding itself and is therefore heavily reliant on donations and grassroots fundraising. Where applicable charitable grants are applied for but in the current economic climate these are increasingly hard to get. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Age UK Colchester operates a number of services to benefit the older people of Colchester and its surrounding environs, including an Information Service; an Advice and Advocacy Service; a Consumer and Energy Advice Service; a Legal Advice Surgery; an Osteopath Surgery; and various social clubs and activities throughout each month as well as hosting a Toenail Cutting Service. Some of the social clubs and activities operate on a weekly basis, such as the social drop-in coffee mornings, Chairobics fun seated exercise sessions, Men in Sheds venture and a knitting group at the Waiting Room, where all ages welcome. Other groups include Activ8 and two Knit and Natter Groups. A befriending service is also in the process of being set up. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you would like to know more about our services or are interested in becoming one of our volunteers, without whose loyalty and dedication the charity would not be able to function, please do not hesitate to contact us on 01206 368420 or email <a href="mailto:enquiries@ageukcolchester.org.uk">enquiries@ageukcolchester.org.uk</a></div>

<i>Thanks to Age UK Colchester for telling us a bit more about the support they give. We are thrilled we can help continue a local independent charity to grow and support the community. Please do like them on Facebook and come along to the fair to help us raise as much money as possible for them (a percentage of the door fee and 100% of raffle proceeds go to Age UK Colchester on the day).</i></div>

So we are going to reward one of our lucky followers a whole hoard of prizes for sharing their beautiful faces with us.</div>

The last Secret event was held on Saturday 20<sup>th</sup> September at the
Stamford Arts Centre, and hosted a wealth of vintage, retro and handmade
traders, alongside a professional swing DJ Pinball Paul, a live Singer Kathryn
Peacock, covering well loved vintage and retro songs from the Silver Screen,
and live Lindy Hop dancers too! Despite the event location only being revealed
a few weeks beforehand, the event attracted over 500 people through its doors, and was so busy the onsite tea rooms provided by the Stamford arts Centre Coffee shop ran out of cake!</span></span><br />

<i>What with all the excitement with Folk East Betty's monthly blog has been slightly delayed this month, but we are proud to bring it to you now! Make sure you have liked her <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Bettysrockandrollers?fref=ts" target="_blank">Facebook page </a>and followed her on <a href="https://twitter.com/BettysRandR" target="_blank">Twitter</a> too.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well It's that time of the month again, where does the time go? Life always seems to be busy in the world of Betty's which is always good. Last month we talked about perfecting that perfect brow shape so let's now have a look at Three tried and tested products for colouring your brows....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><i>Benefit Brow Zing-</i></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This compact contains all you need to shape and preen your brows, available in 3 shades. It contains mini tweezers, a creme colour to colour in your brows and a powder to set the colour a great all round lasting product, a little expensive maybe at £24.50 but great if your needing to shape your brows with the tweezers first! I would say to achieve the correct look could take a little practice with the brushes provided, Available from <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/">www.debenhams.com</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><i>Mac Brow pencil-</i></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This neat little brow pencil is the perfect diameter to be able to draw your shape onto your brow, great for an outside line and great for the infill too. It's retractable so no need to Sharpen, easy to use, comes in 6 colours at £13.00, I feel its worth the money. Available from<a href="http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/">www.maccosmetics.co.uk</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><i>Rimmel professional Eyebrow Pencil</i></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think for the price of £ 2.99, these Rimmel brow pencils are great, they come in 3 colours, easy to apply and also have have a brow brush on the other end to help with the shaping of your brows before you apply, the pencil can be easily sharpened to create your outside line then filled in available at all good Boots stores or online at <a href="http://www.boots.com/">www.boots.com</a></div>

<b><u><i>The Broken Maps</i></u></b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><i><br /></i></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Broken Maps are an East Anglian based acoustic folk/pop duo composed of singer-songwriters Leah Hammond and Stuart Sale. Hammond and Sale met in 2001 during college where they quickly formed a songwriting partnership and were the principle songwriters of Essex based indie band The Flukes for 2 years. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Late 2013, Hammond and Sale decided to get songwriting and performing together again. This time round drawing on a more diverse range of influences, resulting in an output of a more mature and crafted sound, capturing their unique chemistry and close bond in their songs and performances. <a href="http://www.thebrokenmaps.co.uk/">www.thebrokenmaps.co.uk</a></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Hat Check Honeys are - quite simply - indescribable! But we'll try.....amusing, talented and quirky these two gals will have you eating out of their hands in minutes. Combining the rich, powerful voice of Helene Hyland and the sublime piano and accordian playing of Julie Robinson they cover a huge range of musical styles - all of them vintage!! Classic jazz, blues and swing, French cabaret, 20s speakeasy, comedy numbers from around the world and a bit of old London cockney thrown in, its a feast of musical variety. And no cutlery needed...... Find them on You Tube and on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hat-check-honeys/372370164131?fref=ts" target="_blank">Facebook</a>.</div>

<b><i><u>Meg Burrows</u></i></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A merge of creative minions, Meg is a writer, poet, singer/song writer and if you ask, face painter, who spends far too much time travelling on trains and eating bourbons. She started writing songs in her parents kitchen when she was 14, although, you could say her first song was actually written on the swing when she was 3 about the clouds. She plays a little piano and tiny amount of 'postcard' guitar, so she is very lucky to perform with her good friend Jonathan Coy, an excellent guitarist born & bred in Suffolk. Find her on Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MegBurrowsMusic?fref=ts" target="_blank">here</a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are popping up at the festival as our first foray out in 2014 (warming up before Folk East and our big fair on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/661355580625691/" target="_blank">23rd of August in Colchester</a>. The minute we wandered around the grounds at Springfield we knew that we would be hosting a Secret Vintage Garden party... bringing together a selection of our vintage traders nestled in the orchard, from self-proclaimed <i>seasoned outdoor traders</i> LegoMonki to the glamorous and lively Kitty's Cottage/ChocoDolly. And as at any good garden party we are providing some classic vintage garden games to entertain the customers.</div>

really looking forward to getting involved with the Secret Vintage
Fair, I've had a stall at nearly every one of their fairs and love
how they run things, so it’s exciting to be involved with the
secret”. Hatty runs the successful local vintage business “What’s
Your Tale Nightingale?” and actively supports Colchester's indie
businesses. Charlie has a huge passion for vintage homewares and a
love of a nostalgic/vintage lifestyle and interiors, as she’s
finished renovating her period home, and is looking forward to
working with Lucy on their second territory, Cambridgeshire, with
plans to also expand into Northamptonshire, and Lincolnshire too.
