January sale

Happy New Year everyone!  Just so you know our offer of postage at just £1 continues.  Any item is just £1 postage for orders in the UK.  Just for a short time only though!!

Merry Christmas!

It's less than 24 hours to go now till Christmas day - how exciting!   But just so you know My Retro is still here over Xmas, if you want to place an order over Xmas it will be posted Tuesday 29th December when the post office re-opens.   We still want your retro goodies to reach you as soon as possible!   Have a great Xmas!!!! x

Very last shopping weekend before Christmas!

It's come around fast.  Don't worry though as there is one last chance to visit 'All I Want for Xmas' - the Brick Lane all in one shopping venue.  My Retro will have a stall in the Vintage Pop Up Market from Friday to Sunday.  You'll find us on the 1st floor, entrance from 15 Hanbury Street or 81-85 Brick Lane (London, E1).  See you there!!

2 weeks till Christmas!

Don't panic, there's still time to get your party dress, vintage faux-fur and all those pressies you haven't thought about yet.  If you are near West London this Sunday and fancy an antidote to those big shopping centres and packed high streets, take comfort in a pub in Shepherds Bush with a glass of wine and take your time browsing all the vintage and crafty gifts on offer.  Details below (no.3) but ignore the event in Brixton as that's cancelled - boo :(

Accessorise, accessorise!

We just added lots of new vintage accessories so if you after a hat, scarf, bag or belt - take a look.  Great Xmas ideas too!  Everything is posted on the same day or on the next working day so it'll arrive in plenty of time for Xmas. Just click here .

22 days till Christmas!!

It's all go for the last 22 days!  If like most of us with busy lives you haven't given your Xmas shop much thought yet then don't worry.  You still have the chance to visit the one stop shop for all your Xmas needs.  'All I Want for Xmas...' is a great shopping event in Brick Lane, East London.  We will be there for the next 3 weekends till Xmas.  Not only do you have the best Vintage market, there are hand made goods and one off pieces of art.  If you want an individual pressie or a little treat for yourself visit us either Friday 11-6, Saturday 11-6 or Sunday 10-5.  Click here for all the details .

Oh, and don't forget postage is still just £1 per item on My Retro!!  We post 1st class so you'll get your goodies in plenty of time.  Visit the site or visit me at Brick Lane for your vintage one-off party dress too!

Good news!  We now have a My Retro Home page where you can find lots of retro goodies for your home.  My fav has to be the Dallas Simpson print (see below), sooo 70's.  Take a look through the new items here: http://www.my-retro.co.uk/userimages/procart6.htm

Another market

Feeling very sorry for myself today - am not a well bunny.  Hoping to make a full recovery soon though so I can add some more lovely items to the site. I have lots of super fab retro homeware to bring you!

The weekend went very, very well.  East London was the place to be.  If you missed the pop-up market I'll be there again from 16-18th October.  It's definitely worth a visit.  If you can't wait for that then I'm at another Little Bazaar market this Sunday so if you're anywhere near New Cross you should pop by.  See below for the flyer, (it is part of Freshers week but anyone is welcome) See you there (and I'll be all better by then too hopefully!)

Madonna's bra

I've uncovered some gems today.   I think they'll all be coming with me this weekend (details of the market to follow soon)   I've gone all 80's and I have a Madonna esq bra complete with jewels!   An amazing bright pink body con dress and some great red vintage shoes which are just so beautiful I want to keep them.....   Maybe see you at the weekend but keep an eye on the site as I'll be adding more soon. x

New arrivals

I've been busy with my camera today, I've lots of lovely new dresses and I've added a few to the site today and there's lots more on the way.  My picks would have to be the 60's Mod dress

http://www.my-retro.co.uk/userimages/procart3.htm- it's such a beautiful colour and the red 70's dress is just so striking. http://www.my-retro.co.uk/userimages/procart4.htm

More items on the way plus keep an eye out, as I'll be introducing a new section for My Retro Home, I'll bring you retro items for your home such as retro telephones, kitchenalia and anything that catches my eye! Hope you like it.

 

Day one!

Day one of the My Retro Blog!   I thought it would be nice to bring you little snippets of info on what lovely things I've found, what's coming up on the site and also a chance for me to tell you all where I'll be.   I'm still going to be at markets around London so if you fancy seeing some more of my vintage and retro finds you can come along and see me in person.

This weekend I was at a great little quite bazaar market, it had a couple of positives - it started at midday and involved spending the afternoon in a pub!   'A Little Bazaar' showcases some great 'crafty' people making all sorts of lovely clever things plus there are us secondhand and vintage sellers too.   We were at the Keston Lodge, Upper Street, Islington, North London.   I'll keep you updated with new dates - it certainly makes for a nice arvo out.

So, feel free to get in touch.   I'll keep up with the updates and look forward to hearing from you.   I'm off to find some more goodies to bring you.   Oh, and thanks for all your support - hope you like the site! x
