About the Author Lucy Haywood started her career as a designer for British Airways before going on to work for Lady Annabel Astor at OKA. However, her passion for interiors, antiques, and vintage treasures was sparked many years earlier when, as a tiny child, she was taken by her father to numerous antiques fairs and house clearances to hunt out hidden treasure. The Country Brocante fairs came into being when Lucy decided to create an exciting new event where visitors could shop and enjoy a day out and hobby dealers and professionals could sell their wares. The Country Brocante now takes place four times a year against a backdrop of some of England's most beautiful stately homes and scenery.
