A Love Affair With The Past - My Vintage Beginnings

One thing I distinctly remember is being fascinated with old photographs - of family or historical figures in books.

Hello vintage lovers!

I think it is fair to say the last few months have been challenging. Not least of all because, a week and a half ago, my lovely Dad passed away after battling with cancer.

Obviously this has affected how things have been going here at Filly and Dilly...we are all bit behind on building the shop and have been limiting fayres etc for the time being.

However, we WILL be at @loulousvintagefair in Portsmouth this coming Saturday which we are really looking forward to! Not only that, but we have a new, sneaky little treat in store...

Can you guess what it is??????

We love this event and can't wait to see your smiling faces this weekend.

Ooh I love packaging up new jewellery stock! And some of these earrings are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

And the best news is that these and many more goodies will be on my stall at Lou Lous Vintage Market in Portsmouth on 8th November...assuming they haven't already been snapped up by then!

Have we been a little quiet? So sorry...we have been working our little bottoms off to try and get the shop open! But the weather and well, life in general has put us a wee bit behind! But through the delays, we have been sourcing and buying in some GORGEOUS new stock!!!! And as soon as our little space looks less of a building site, we will be able to share it with you properly! Here's a sneaky peak though of just a few of today's deliveries! #vintageclothing #vintageisleofwight #slowfashion

Dear all,

Unfortunately due to a family issue, we are having to postpone this weekend's pop-up in Brading.

Fear not though, it will be rearranged for sometime in the early summer so watch this space!

In the meantime, you can still find us trading at Ruby's Vintage & Retro Fair in Hartley Whitney on 6th April and Lou Lous in Portsmouth on 10th May. And we are very excited!

I just LOVE this vintage sideboard! A new-to-me acquisition and perfect for the window in front of my new office space! So happy to give it a new home and fill it with all my business bits. I've rather out-grown the old one so have kicked the husband out of his bigger one and filled it with rails of vintage gorgeousness!

We were inundated with requests to start selling vintage menswear when we were in Portsmouth last weekend! Well...you spoke and we listened! I'm currently busy researching and sourcing and already have a few pieces ready to list! Watch this space!

In the meantime enjoy this pic of my Daddy striking a pose circa 1963!

Wow! What a day! Our first ever fair and it was just brilliant! Such a wonderful atmosphere and met some truly lovely people - traders and shoppers alike! I have the bug now for sure! Thanks so much @loulousvintagefair - we loved every minute! Huge thanks too to my glamorous assistant @beccyodonoghue for all her help today, and to my fabulous hubby and daughter for dragging themselves across The Solent at an unsociable hour this morning to carry all my stock and bits and pieces (even though they abandoned us and spent the day at Paultons Park! 🤣)
