Dead Men's Spex does Instagram!

Hi there,
We are back from Holt, and we had a busy weekend. The weather was reasonable both days considering the down pour on Friday. (We were lucky, we got the stall up in bright sunshine on the Thursday!) Our friend Bunny came to visit, looking every inch the English gentlemen and he and Deadman Junior took a trip on the train to Sheringham. They returned with reports of  Sheringham under siege.  We, meanwhile, were mainly selling glasses.

Deadman has been encouraged by his friends to embrace another piece of modern technology, no not the bicycle, it plays havoc with his knees! Instagram, he is now happily posting away. His followers are building up nicely; 79 in three days, he's hoping to reach a thousand by Christmas!

That's all for now folks

Pop along to the Poppy Line with Dead Men's Spex

Hi there,

We are back from Milton Keynes Hand Made and Vintage Fair, we enjoyed the show and had a good weekend. There were lots of other stalls selling lovely things and Lindy Hop demonstrations, which proved popular. Deadman Junior loves Milton Keynes as he can go off on his own and buy random stuff.(Chip off the old block!) However, we had some transport issues; the clutch went on our van; uh, oh!  This meant that we all had a ride in a big truck all the way back to Norfolk!

This weekend we are off to the Poppy Line to the North Norfolk Railway's 1940s weekend. This is always a busy, fun event and we look forward to seeing lots of you there.

1940s  frames 
We will have our usual selection of vintage frames and Deadman is preparing lots of lovely 1940s  frames ready for the weekend. Let's hope the weather holds, it is usually warm and sunny.

Hope to see you soon

September's a busy month for Dead Men's Spex

Hi there,
Deadman Junior is now at High School; after some trepidation, he had a good first day, let's hope this continues for many a year.. That leaves his aged parents plenty of time to prepare vintage spex. We are taking our Dead Men's Spex stall for an airing at  Milton Keynes this weekend; Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th September.
Vintage and Handmade Fair at Milton Keynes in March 2016
We are going to the Milton Keynes Handmade and Vintage Fair, we went in March and had a great time so we are repeating the performance. Deadman's in his workshop preparing a great selection of vintage frames and I am making lists.. For those of you who know Milton Keynes we are in Middleton Hall, right in front of John Lewis and near lots of coffee shops (uh oh!) The hours are 9 am -6 pm on Saturday and 10.30 am - 5 pm on Sunday.

We are planning to arrive in our newly acquired transit van called Tom, (red like a tomato) I'll feel like a proper stall holder!

The weekend after that ; September 17th and 18th we'll be at Holt with the Poppy Line on the North Norfolk Railway. That's always a fun event and it has increased in size and popularity since we first started selling our glasses there in 2008. For us, it also has the added bonus of being really close to Dead Men's towers.

Hope to see you when we are out and about!
