The trend for vintage-style fairgrounds lights is getting ever stronger but you don’t have to pay daft money for them anymore. These lights from Vinegar Hill in Henley can be bought singly for a snippety snip of £29.99 to create whatever message you want. Unless your name is Sheherazade or Desdemona I think that’s pretty good value, don’t you?

The letters come in pewter, as do the arrow and heart (£59.99)

 

but if weather-worn is where your heart is, there’s a rusty star so you can mix and match your looks.

The Vinegar Hill website isn’t live yet so it might be worth checking the lights out in person next time you’re in Henley.
