Today I went to Digbeth, Birmingham to the vintage fair which was cancelled a couple of weeks ago. It was held at the Custard Factory.
There were many different stalls there full of a range of different items from clothing to jewellery. My friend Sonya who I went with brought this cute bag with Egyptian detailing from the 1940's.

Also there to tempt us was a cupcake stand, we got a little carried away though and brought two boxes but they were well worth it. :) The cakes were made by a local company called The Boutique Baking Company. To find out more about the company check out their Facebook page.
The yummy cupcakes we brought. I had the lilac one which was vanilla.
While at the Custard Factory we went into the new bulding - Zellig and had a look around as you can see below the building has a mix of modern and traditional architecture, I loved it. I went on a visit to the buliding before it was built last year as part of my Event Management module and I'm amazed to see how it has actually turned out.
Lanterns at the entrance of the building.
Statues suspended from the ceiling in the main walkway.
Just outside the building is this eye catching piece of art.
The main structure of the Zellig building has a mass of white poles entwined with each other. The walkways as seeen above are also disguised by the structure which looks like you are walking on air.
Overall a good day was had and to top it off the sun was shining - finally.
