Bonzie Staff Sammy getting a breath of fresh air!!!

The lovely Rosa in her new Bonzie Coquette Scarf!

Mother and Daughter combo that arrived at the fair for a browse. An absolutely darling couple with a really terrific energy, we loved these gals!! Decked out in a vintage style ensemble too!

These gorgeous little ladies arrived on the Sunday with their Mom for a browse through the fair. One of our absolute highlights of the weekend. The little gal on the left is an aspiring designer and she made her own Easter Bonnet with Tulle, Easter chicks and nestling eggs. She was a vision! Check out their little red shoes!!!!

Here's me getting my Victory Rolls from Paula of Lady Pearl Vintage Hair Specialists in Cork ( More about this fabulous new company later!!)

These ladies need a post all of their own!

As you can see we like to be comfie at work!!!!! lol Ger wearing her day wear shoes!!!

Ger was keeping hydrated..... it was an awfully warm weekend!!!

We kidnapped Brendan Courtney from "Off the Rails" for a picture and he was absolutely fabulous. A really funny and warm character, it was lovely to meet him. ( No TV presenters were harmed in the operation, honest!)

New Bonzie Beaded Necklaces for sale at the Vintage Fair...

The stunning Lauren Bejaoui modelling a bonzie ethereal cape over a stunning antique wedding gown by "Vintage Bride" in Dublin. Lauren was doing regular shoots at the fair featuring items from the stallholders, it was a terrific idea and we all got to have fabulous photos afterward. Photographer Ciúin Tracey captured the shoots all weekend. Will be sharing those shots soon too!

Organizer: Blanaid Hennessy

Sammy joined us over the weekend to help out with the set up and stall hosting. We had a great time and she got right into the spirit of things. ( see example above!!! lol) We managed to hijack a pair of "high nellie" bikes from gorgous Dutch bike company, This Old Bike!

So we are back from our road trip at the weekend.... We had the most amazing time at this year's Absolut Style at Set Vintage Festival. The Fair was organized by Blanaid Hennessy ( a fashion and Interiors dynamo from Kilkenny!) The stalls this year were amazing and we had a chance to meet some of our gal pals from online that we have only ever spoken to through facebook etc. It was a lovely weekend and we really enjoyed meeting everyone. I will let the pictures do the talking...

Enjoy
