Over the bank holiday weekend we had some 40s frolics at Twinwood Festival in Bedford. It's a swing and jive festival in honour of Glenn Miller who departed from Twinwood Airfield in his plane and was never seen again. His current status is missing in action as no wreckage or remains were ever found.
We were there for the weekend as our final proper trading weekend as Toadstool Vintage. We had a fantastic time and made over our sales target so a great way to go out with a bang.
Here are a few pictures from the weekend:

Above are a couple of pics of me wearing some new purchases courtesy of my fellow stallholder Clare from Second Hand Rose. The dress is a 70s does 40s style floral dress with matching belt and contrasting larger print floral sleeves. It fits lovely and I added a bit of glamour with this fur trim. Unfortunately I didn't get to stay in it for very long as the weather was turning quite chilly and so I reverted back to my ever faithful dungarees, as can be seen in the other photo. In this pic I wrapped up in an orange hand crochet cardigan again courtesy of Second Hand Rose. I love the burnt orange colour and will become a staple part of my ever growing knitwear collection.
Roll on Twinwood 2013!
