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.
Happy 10 Years to Ruby!
Yes, this year will be our 10th Glorious Year of running vintage events – hard to believe it was April 2012 when our first Ruby’s Vintage & Retro Fair was in a small downstairs room at Newbury Rugby Club.
Marvellous Milestones
Ruby’s returned to this wonderful Living History museum in Basingstoke on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th November – we were able to spread out our stalls on the cobbled streets and soaked up the atmosphere of the old buildings.
Ruby’s at Hughenden Manor’s 1940s Weekend 14th & 15th September
(Lyn) This is one of my favourite events in that there is lots going on in a beautiful and historical setting and it is full of beautifully and authentically dressed re-enactors as well as enthusiastic families all enjoying a well organised day out.
A Bit Cooler at Millets Farm Centre
Those of you who follow us will know that the previous 2 years when we have held our weekend event here in July, the weather has been absolutely scorching making the marquee into a bit of a sauna.
Shiny Medals and Sandhurst
Sunday 16th June saw us back in the vintage marquee at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst’s Open Day.
