Avid readers of this blog will already know how much I enjoy browsing around the Antique & Collectibles Fair & the most recent one - at the Showgrounds in Ipswich - certainly did not disappoint. My mother & I got all dressed up & had a ball checking out all the stalls, talking to some of our favourite dealers & buying some things that we just couldn't live without before heading to the Top of Town precinct for a leisurely lunch at Fourth Child. For the occasion, I wore a stunning 1960s deep peacock blue dupione silk shift dress with faux pockets from a little vintage boutique on Etsy, a pair of silver leather slingback sandals with oversized gold buckles & wooden stacked heels from Florsheim, a natural woven straw bucket bag with diamantes from the delightful Oh Jo Jo Boutique to carry all the essentials (facemask, hand sanitizer, cash money) & a plethora of sparkly gold, silver & blue enamel beaded bangles from India that a dear friend brought back from a trip years & years ago now to pick up all the colours inherent in the look.
