A very sunny summer bazaar

Hundreds of people flocked to Nina's Apartment's summer bazaar on Saturday 15th of June, for some quality vintage shopping, yummy BBQ, fresh lemonade or having silly photos taken in the photo booth. The sun was out, which made the day even more special. Thank you to all who came and enjoyed themselves! Here's to a great summer!

Vintage summer bazaar at Nina's Apartment Saturday 15th of June, 11am-4pm

It is time for another one of those crazy fairs at my shop!

This time with a summery theme, since we are halfway through June after all. Expect to find lots of great vintage and revamped furniture, retro fashion and accessories (BIG sunglasses and fine suitcases) and plenty of collectable items too.

To tie in with the summer theme we've got a BBQ and lemonade stall set up (and some sneaky wee cocktails!) and outdoor seating - with umbrellas to prevent you from sunburn (or getting wet ;-). Plenty of picnic hampers for sale too for those of you loving the outdoors.

Dress by Bobosemporium

A vintage photo booth is set up for those of you wanting your picture taken in great vintage outfits and with props in front of a real classic Morris Minor. All for free of course.

For the kids there is a face painter in a vintage caravan, traditional Dutch 'blikgooien' plus some toys and a sandpit with buckets and spades for the very little ones too.

What else does one need on a Saturday? Come along, it's gonna be fun. From 11am to 4pm, free parking on site.

A great day for a Vintage Fair in Aberdeenshire. Photo report

On Saturday 2nd of February I held the first vintage fair in and around my shop at Lethenty Mill, and the first of its kind in the Inverurie area. Still snowing in the morning I feared people would maybe rather stay warm indoors...but it was packed! It was a wonderful event, thanks to the help of my fellow traders, and thanks to the support of all you lovely customers who came to visit - from as far as Elgin, Fraserburgh and Aberdeen - getting inspired, drinking hot cups of tea or purchasing one or more items. It is very encouraging to receive so much positive feedback and to see people enjoy the things that I've created. Here's to many more successful events in the future!

Nina's Apartment will now be open every Saturday from 10am to 2pm and by appointment.
