Dead Men's Spex at Holt Hall with Liittle Vintage Lover Fair

Hi there

Wow, it is June already. Our shoffice as we've named it is coming on well. Deadman is having fun dressing it with his optical memorabilia and displays. We've had some customers already and our open weekend is Sat11th and Sun12th July from 12-5pm. So we're hoping for sunny weather.

Talking about sunny weather, Deadmen's Spex are at Holt Hall this Sunday June 21st with Little Vintage Lover Fair. It is a beautiful setting and well worth a visit, we went there at Christmas with Little Vintage Lover Fair and it was good. The grounds are lovely and there will be stalls outside and inside. We are looking forward to it, especially when there are vintage goodies and cake involved.... We will have a good selection of our vintage eyewear and hope to see you there.

Vintage Spex shop at Deadman's Towers

Hi there
It's exciting times for Dead Men's Spex. We  are setting up our very own purpose built vintage eye-wear boutique in our garden.

It is free standing, triple aspect with double glazed windows and electricity. Two windows face west and catch the afternoon sun; so it gets beautifully warm.  Deadman has just laid the carpet ; I had to check that he wasn't  having a sneaky snooze. Instead I found him shaking his booty.

Man of many talents including carpet laying and Dad dancing!

We''re almost ready ,we just need to move our stock in and then we can receive customers. We are planning an open day in the summer to show off our new showroom. Look out on our website and Facebook page for the date.

It's almost Hemsby rock'n roll weekend, yes, it's that time of year again...So Deadman has been prepping some great new frames  for the show. He'll be there from Friday 8th  until Sunday 10th May.

He's looking forward to seeing everyone and having a good chin wag

Deadmen's Spex at Ipswich

Hi there

We enjoyed our day out in Ipswich at the new Peachy Keen Vintage Fair in St Peter's at the Waterfront. The church was attractive and spacious and we had a sunlit position close to the radiator. What more could we want?

We met some new customers including people who had seen our website, so thank you very much to everyone who came to see us on Sunday.

Another happy customer 

Check out Peachy Keen's Facebook page for some great photos including the one above.

Well that's all for now

Dead Men's Spex off to Peachy Keen

Hi there.
Oh dear, I'm sorry; I've realised that this is my first blog of 2015. I  hope you are all well, we have been ticking along. Dead man is valiantly fighting a very nasty cough but has still managed to keep Dead Men's Spex fully operational including sourcing some great new stock recently. Our dining room table is full of frames as I write.

This weekend Sunday 8th March we are having our first outing of the year and are venturing out of the county to St Peter's by the Waterfront; which is a converted church in Ipswich, Suffolk.

We are going to a new fair called Peachy Keen Vintage Fair  and are looking forward to it. They will have cake and music; always a good thing. As usual we have a wide selection of frames including the classic Sidewinder, Freeway and Ronsir from American company Shuron, a good selection of funky cats and some great frames from the 1970s and 1980s.

We look forward to trying out this new venue and will set our alarm clock (Deadman junior) nice and early so we are ready to roll at 11am!

Ho Ho Ho Christmas at Dead Men's Spex.

Hi there

Well, the open weekend at Holt Hall was a success. It was the first time they had hosted a Little Vintage Lover Fair and we certainly thought it went well. There was a huge Christmas tree in the hallway and a wonderful log fire burning all day.

What a fantastic tree!

We were in the dining room in front of a rather grand (but unused) fireplace where Deadman could lean in a proprietorial manner. The event was well attended and Holt Hall sold yummy mince pies and ran crafts which were a great success with Deadman Junior. He made a lovely selection of Christmas decorations including a naturalistic wreath and a fir cone tree decoration. He certainly preferred it to sitting with his parents all day...!

We enjoyed our day and it was a good way to get into the Christmas spirit.We are continuing to enjoy the festivities; Deadman was playing Google's shave the Santa game this morning.

Merry Christmas from Dead Men's Spex. We hope you have fun;  remember to keep your specs on so you can spot Santa.

Hi there

When it comes to stock we are on a roll with a lot of great vintage frames coming in. These include NHS 524s, ladies' cats' eyes in some great colours - blues, greens and pinks and Algha half eyes.- like the ones Santa wears. Deadman is loading a new batch of photos onto the site today.

We are also looking forward to Sunday December 7th as we are having a stall at the beautiful  Holt Hall; tucked away from the road just outside Holt in Norfolk. This Victorian house is now a field studies centre run by Norfolk County Council and they occasionally have events so the public can enjoy it.

Little Vintage Lover Fair are joining the Hall's open doors event, so along with making some great vintage purchases you can also have a look round the hall and indulge in a mince pie or two! If the weather is kind, you may even fancy a stroll through the grounds; into the woodland and down to the lake.

We look forward to seeing you there! Hope you can make it
