Went to a large(ish) craft fair at Hatfield House today.
Blow me down, first of all there was Jayney (slim'n'lift) selling Sarongs - with how to wear instructions, and a few pairs of summer flip flops. Clearly 'stuff' that was bought from a warehouse, together with boxes of scarf rings to hold said Sarong together. She had a lot of interest around the stall, but mainly from middle aged ladies (whom I think, one Sarong would not be enough ) but who had recognised her from Q.
Then in another tent, I saw RENY MARTIN ! older Q viewers would remember her from years ago when she aimed at the more mature lady with her range of fashion. I say 'mature', and I'm clearly in that age range now, but I wouldn't wear pleated skirts, or jumpers in port wine with shoulder embroidery . Reny herself has lost an awful lot of weight from her plumper days on the tele. Not much interest in her stall though. I wonder who does buy that range of clothing now, as those that would, like my Mum are well into their 80's and 90's. Those of us that were teens in the 60's are now coming up to 70 and this is where the problem in fashion lies, we don't want to be like our Mums in the Edinburgh Woollen Mills clothing, but equally we don't want to look ridiculous in too tight, too large, too short designs either.
