We have been out putting up flyers, distributing them to libraries, tourist information centre, local shops, cafes, the Fishmarket and generally handing them out to anybody that might be interested. We are also in the process of sorting out the newspapers adverts, now that just leaves the radio – whew...
In between sorting the fair I have been a little creative and have made another shadow box and some decorative vintage blocks which will be coming with me.
Yes you read right, Northampton Antiques Centre is moving to bigger and better premises in Northampton Town Centre . The address is 22-36 Kettering Road and it will be opening its doors on Tuesday 3rd November.
The premises are much bigger and brighter and it is in the town centre which has to be better for both sellers and buyers alike. There will be more space for new sellers to join us and it is going to have rooms for classes, such as general restoration, upholstery and arts and crafts. It is also going to have a tea rooms which means people can come and spend some time browsing and then stop and have a cup of tea or coffee with cake.
It is also going to have a new name
“A MOST MARVELLOUS PLACE TO SHOP”
and I am sure that is exactly what it will be.
Looking forward to seeing you on the 23rd .... up to my eyes in makes, textiles and vintage bits & piece and must decide exactly what I am bringing with me! I'm a bit nervous too as its my first V & H. Thanks for all your hard work x

Thankyou so much for your help re the cakes, and for "being there"- just your understanding made me feel a whole heap calmer.
