Press Cuttings

Vintage in a Teacup fairs have been gracing the pages of one or two media publications of late, have you seen us? 

Promoting the next fair in St Agnes on Saturday 7 April, we've got a little advert in the local Bolster magazine...

And we've also been featured in this month's edition of Cornwall Today magazine!  It's such a lovely little write up about our business Edith Gray, as well as our Vintage in a Teacup vintage fairs. Do let us know what you think if you have a chance to read it (we're on page 110).

And finally Mum has been in this month's Prima too, in their 'My life put simply...' feature...

It's such a lovely feeling seeing your name in print!  It's certainly left us both smiling lots this month!
