Beleza
Let me introduce Claire from Beleza, another one of our fabulous stallholders at this months event. You can quite often find Claire at the We Heart Vintage Market in Mount Lawley.
Her vintage swimsuits were recently featured on the catwalk during fashion week here in Perth!

"I come from a family of collectors. My brother collects gettoblasters and rap paraphernalia, my uncle collects musical instruments, records and he's a professor of northern soul music! My auntie collects and loves vintage fashion and is still wearing her hair in a beehive as she was when she was 20.
And then...there is my Mum and Dad...Well...where do I start? Really I never had a chance to be anything but a collector, who was I kidding?
Beleza is my collection of beautifully made, unique, interesting items.
My Mum and I travel far and wide across the globe in search of these things, so no two things are the same.
They always say " COPIES ARE NEVER AS GOOD "

Hey Joe Retro
Hey Joe Retro is another of our stallholders at our October Fair. Read on...
What sort of things can we expect from Hey Joe at the VVV Fair this year? We will be previewing our range of bathers and beachwear, bringing down menswear for the guys along with some records, a selection of our vintage designer sunglasses and a few choice pieces of vintage homewares, along with summer day dresses and tooled leather bags..
Where did the name come from? Its a combination of a Jimi Hendrix song, our location on South St, and the first two initials of my name Helen Joyce - says it all about the shop.
Why retro? why not new? Who wants new just like everyone else, retro and vintage provides something unique, and retro especially gives you bright plastics, funky flowers and puts a smile on your face.
Where can we find you? Cnr South and Stokes Sts White Gum Valley, 5 minutes out of Fremantle
What are your opening hours? Thurs - Sun 11am-6pm
Contact details: 9433 5191, hejocoda@virginbroadband.com.au, check us out on facebook @ HEY JOE RETRO.

Out and About .... in Freo
Have been into Freo this morning. First up, met the lovely Jane at FreInfo - she also sits at the community notices desk in the Fremantle Library. A copy of our flyer is on the noticeboard and is included in the regular FreInfo email to over 660 email addresses. Jane was really helpful and very efficient, a big thankyou.
A couple of weeks ago I posted flyers at the 'Old Values' retro store in Fremantle, the Victoria Street Deli in Mosman Park, Breast Check in Mosman Park (my breasts are indebted to Alex and her team) and the 91 Seeds cafe on Marmion Street in Palmyra. Today I posted them at the South Fremantle Shopping Complex, The South Beach Cafe, The Meeting Place (and had a chat with Jenny), Tropicana, Hamilton Hill IGA and a busy cafe near Westgate Mall. If there is a public space that invites material, then I am filling it. And watch out Muzz Buzz girls, my favourite ones on Rockingham Road got their flyer this morning, I'm handing them out to anyone I meet along the way.
I then visited the local vintage and retro stores in Fremantle. This was a real pleasure, it is some time since I have been able to just meander through the town of my childhood and its looking pretty good, creative expression is really blooming there. First I visited Fi & Co at the back of New Editions bookshop. Then on to Seldom She Blushes where I met Fern who then introduced me to Annette of Broken Doll. Pop Ups at our event from both these ladies look promising. Then I visited Off the Wall and Pongee, no one home but I will return.
And in the midst of all this a call from the lovely Louise at Kwik Copy to say that the printing of our promotional material is underway and she will call me as soon as they are finished - how exciting!
I've returned home for a short break to see that the We Heart Vintage girls in Mt Lawley have tuned in on our facebook - fantastic. Am off again soon, Canning Highway here I come!
