Off to the Fair

For the past week and a half the exhibition was in full swing. Me and some gals went to check it out on Sunday.Now, of course its not the same as it use to be in the 40's, 50's and 60's but you can still catch a  glimmer here and there of a time gone by. Cotton Candy, candy apples, lemonade, carnies, ponies, the ferris wheel and the meri-go-round.

The County Fair

Good Morning cats and kittens! How was your weekend?! Well... I haven't been out hunting for fabulous vintage finds lately, as well, I have been 1) too busy and 2) broke.

But! This weekend I plan on going to the exhibition! Where I am certain I will find much nostalgia oozing from every corner!

I live in a bigger city, so its not quite like the state fair... but I just know there's bound to be remnants of a time past.

Does your home town have an annual summer fair?!

Here is some fabulous vintage carnival ware and fare Ive found online:

1. an elephant brooch, how fitting!

2. Carnival boots!

3. Paper Ice Cream Cups- how vintage, indeed!

5. A purse fit for the fair!

6. A fabulous carnival coloured brooch

7. Vintage ride tickets

All found on Etsy of course!
