Designer donations wanted!

Posted on by

shoppingWith autumn/winter ranges in all the shops (and autumn/winter weather already upon us!), perhaps it’s time to think about freeing up some space in your wardrobe?

Plans are already well under way for the Beaumond House Designer Clothing Sale next spring and your unwanted outfits, shoes, handbags and accessories could help raise money for this local charity.

If you have designer items that no longer fit or you’ve never worn (don’t we all?!), just take them along to Beaumond House on London Road in Newark. Their last Designer Clothing Sale raised a whopping £25,000 for Newark’s Community Hospice – let’s help make the next one a record breaker!

And if you fancy bagging a bargain when the sale comes around, watch this space for details of the date and venue or get in touch with the Fundraising Team on 01636 610556.

Here’s another date for your diary: Grantham’s first ever vintage fair, organised by Bea’s Boutique, takes place on Saturday 10 May.

With more than 30 stallholders selling vintage clothes, homeware, children’s new and pre-loved clothes and toys, shabby chic furniture, decoupaged gifts and other handmade items, Bea’s Vintage & Craft Fair is at the Jubilee Church Life Centre, from 10am to 4pm.

There’ll be live music and Emma Payne from The Vintage Head in Newark will be on hand too, transforming  ladies into 40s film stars, complete with Victory Roll hairdos, makeup and false lashes.

And while you’re there, why not take Tea with Bea in the pop up vintage tea room? Traditional cream teas, scrumptious Victoria sponge and other tempting treats, served up on vintage china – what’s not to like?!
