We had such a swell time on Sunday hanging out at the Valentine's Love-A-Fayre in the Bethnal Green Working Mens Club. Penni helped us run the stand for the day and she's pictured above holding a super cute lollipop cupcake. We were very pleased to find out stall holders could have free tea from the bar all day. Good times.

The fayre attracted a super cute crowd who shopped and a bopped til they dropped. Most people stayed all day drinking teas and beers, eating sushi and cupcakes, watching films, reading zines, listening to music and of course SHOPPING!!! It was so bloody civilised!

We had been busy little bees in preparation for the day making lots of heart felt jewellery especially for the fayre. Emma and Fai our interns made valentine's themed jewellery display holders and I couldn't resist displaying Kandy's knitted rose brooches on a mini toy piano.

We gave our giant tub of Lucky Dip goodies a valentine's makeover! The Lovers' Lucky Dip was stuffed full of heart shaped accessories and Valentine's cards.

There was an ace selection of handmade gifts on sale including cupcakes, burlesque tassels and pasties, jam, fancy knickers, craft kits, D.I.Y cassette cards, sushi, Japanese curios, stuffed meeces (it's true) and many a Valentine's card.

Along with the 20 or so stands there was ample unique entertainment. One crazy lady stalked the room making giant balloon sculptures for unsuspecting party go-ers. Her creations included martian headwear, flower bangles, spiderman, bugs bunny and this giant flump pictured above! We were also treated to a vampy Burlesque performance and a cute little cupid skipped around the room with bow 'n' arrow 'n' all.

Our friends from French Kiss Vintage also had a stand - I totally adore their matching outfits!

We also vamped up our Wheel of Fortune valentine's stylee. It was free to spin the wheel to find out if you'd be loved up or heart broken come February 14th and stickers were handed out in accordance. Pictured above is the fabulous Scarlet Winter with her cigarette style tray of 'tiny tits' jewellery.

One of my favourite stands was the Donkey Monkey Cafe and her homemade sushi and strange collection of Japanese Curios. She rocked!

We took oodles more photos - check 'em out on our Flickr page. Click here!
