I missed last years fair but I was there in 2011 and it was so much fun. It feels like stepping back in time and it is a great way to experience one of Sydney's historic homes - the Rose Seidler House.
There were jive dancers and market stalls, hula hoop lessons, vintage cars and fashion contests and this year there will be rockabilly music and you can get your hair styled by the in-house barber shop, Sterling Hair or the Boogie Bop Dames' hair salon and beauty parlours. It is all for the love of the fifties era and it attracts thousands of people each year. It is quite amazing to see the effort people put into their attire for the day!
The Historic Houses Trust is kindly giving away two double passes to ish and chi readers.
We have bought our tickets for this year's fair and we are looking forward to it. Hope to see you there!
