Ain't Talkin' Bout Dub

Another weekend, another festival!

This time we took Kinky off to Shrewsbury to Deva Dubs, a celebration of all things VW.

The weekend started off gloriously - hot sunshine and a chance to catch up with some of the traders we'd met previously on the festival circuit.

Wearing: Vintage Gabicci shorts, tweed flat cap & 1960s "Festival" Hessian pumps (all from charity shops), Day of The Dead tee shirt (Flea market, Goa)
Our stall was pitched in record time which was just as well, we had a handful of revellers hovering around excitedly, anxiously waiting to rummage through our rails.

Gilbert's top was popped and the bed made up ready to collapse into once the days' work was done.

1970s nylon beach dress (Bought on our blogger day out to Nottingham), Sassy Vamps floral head piece (the gorgeous Desiree), Vintage pink sunglasses and pendant (both charity shopped)
So without further ado we cracked open the pear cider and opened for business.

A perfect day for a festival.

Kinky by night - solar powered!

By 11pm it was time to dig out the trusty fake fur jacket and switch to mugs of tea.

We'd been warned of extreme weather all week and right on cue the early hours of Saturday brought torrential rain and thunderstorms.

Wearing: 1960s psychedelic catsuit (99p, eBay, 2012), Mongolian lamb scarf & 1970s old skool Dunlop wellies (both from jumble sales)
Isn't that why god invented wellies?

Wearing: Vintage skinny leg pants (courtesy of the sweetest Squirrels), Diesel waistcoat, Tootal scarf, band tee shirt (all charity shopped/car booted)
Jon's tarpaulin awning kept the stock (and us) dry.

The showers continued on and off for most of the day but if us Brits let a bit of rain interfere with our fun we'd never do anything.

From our pitch we had a bird's eye view of the motors.

And a bird gave us the eye, too.

1950s Levi's Panatella shorts (Flea market, Goa), Tee shirt (Charity shop), Vintage cord trilby (donation from a mate)
This morning heralded a welcome return to the sunshine.

Perfect conditions for the Show and Shine

How cool are these motors?

Just when we were packing up I had a surprise visit from the lovely Rosemary who lives in Shrewsbury. (I'd abandoned my wellies, bare feet in the mud feel so good!)

Wearing: 1970s Richard Shops maxi (Charity shop)
Phew! A blog heavy on images and short on words I'm afraid but I wanted to post before Deva Dubs was yesterday's news.
I'm having an early night once I've scrubbed the mud off.....catch up with you soon!
