Dead Men's Spex ventures west to M.K. - Milton Keynes!

Hi there


Well it's mid February and we will soon be making our first public appearance of the year in two weeks' time on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th March 2016 at the MK Handmade and Vintage Weekend Extravaganza. We booked a stall in December and are looking forward to it. The whole event looks very busy and has a wide variety of stalls.

Lots  of interesting items... Photos from the MK Handmade and Vintage website

We will be taking our usual range of great vintage frames and some of Dead Man's crafts such as his spexlaces ; necklaces made from original vintage frames, and some lovely old testing lenses which clean up beautifully and are great for crafts.

Spexlaces- spectacle necklaces- unglazed but can be glazed for a lady of a certain age...

We have a new display case; well it is actually lovingly reconditioned - this is Dead Man we are talking about! This case  holds a good selection of frames. Dead Man has commissioned his friend Steve Appleton a local artist to decorate it for him.

We will also be giving out copies of Vintage Explorer Magazine, look out for our advert in there.

We hope to see you there; it will be Mothers' Day on the Sunday March 6th and a great place to take your mum. Mine will be having a great time - playing with Dead Man Junior all weekend! (Thanks Mum!)

Summer time with Dead Men's Spex

Hi there

Well, Little Vintage Lover Fair in Heydon went well. As usual, the weather excelled itself and we had a beautiful summery day. The event was very well supported; there was a constant flow of people and long queues for the coffee van. We saw quite a few familiar faces and had a good (if rather warm) day.We took some copies of Vintage Explorer with us and Zoe and Margaret gave those out at the door. We have just started to advertise Dead Men’s Spex, in there, it is a lovely magazine, well worth a look.

Looking for bargains

Dead Man Junior and I left Dead Man to stand the stall on his own and sneaked onto the village green for a few minutes. It was a beautifully idyllic scene with people picnicking and relaxing in the grass. I soon had to return to the stall and Dead Man Junior followed later on once he had taken some photos.
