Our next Fair is tomorrow, Saturday 28th March as I write this and I’m deep into the final admin, then it’s onto checking my extensive list of things to take and loading up the car ready for an early start – so whatever happened to “I know, I’ll start my own vintage fair then I won’t have to get up so early!”?

Lyn is co-founder of Ruby's Vintage & Retro Fair. She also sells vintage costume jewellery, clothes and accessories at various vintage fairs. She spends some of the year in sunny Arizona which is a prime spot for sourcing great vintage - the English accent goes down a treat!
Lyn runs the Fair with Yvonne who took early retirement from an international career in the perfume industry.
