Taking a Backseat

I have recently come to a very hard decision that I will not be attending the fairs as a seller in the near future. I have been finding things a little overwhelming so have decided to call it a day for the time being.  I will be attending a couple of local fairs just to keep my hand in but not travelling further afield.  Hopefully after this break I will return but for now I've got to focus on other projects.  I have a couple of projects in mind still to do with antique textiles and my passion for them of course so I'm not abandoning the antique/vintage scene altogether, and I will of course still be buying!

I have really enjoyed the fairs that I have attended over the years and the wonderful people I have met.  I will stay in touch with you all via this blog and Facebook so I can still see what's happening.  Hopefully after a break I will return in the future, and I am sure from time to time I will come to the fairs as a customer.  

Love

Brocante on the 9th of May

I am busy sorting and pricing textiles and antiques in readiness for this beautiful event to be held next Thursday.

I have some beautiful pieces squirrelled away, things that are very hard to part with but I hope will find new owners.

I've even had some new business cards printed!  It should be a beautiful day with lots of temptation on offer so I will have to keep my blinkers on especially as the Chelsea Tractor looks as though it may be needing some new tyres in the near future....veerrry expensive :(

Have a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend and enjoy the sunshine.

PS Have just joined Facebook after months of resisting...I am slowly getting to grips with it.

Vintage Bazaar in Hartley Wintney

Saturday I will be at the Vintage Bazaar in Hartley Wintney, please come along if you can.  It promises to be a wonderful day organised by the very talented Lizzie and full of vintage and antique treasures.

This is a taster of some lovelies accompanying me on Saturday.

I have been busy sewing and to be honest it was lovely to get back to my work room and spend a relaxing afternoon sewing and listening to Radio 4 Extra on my trusty pink Roberts radio.  What was even nicer was my lovely neighbour cooked me lunch...she is in her seventies and her cooking is to die for!

Hope you can make it.

Introducing our new addition to the Pug family....Pickle pup!  

He's absolutely adoreable and is settling in nicely with the others.

We couldn't resist him!  

Have a great week.

Vintage Jumble Time

I'm busy sorting, pricing and packing in readiness for the Vintage Jumble to be held at Rangeworthy Village Hall this Saturday.  It has been organised by the lovely Jayne & Michele of V&H fame with the local WI serving wonderful refreshments.  

This is just a fraction of the goodies that I will be bringing with me including my patchwork trunk that involved an awful lot of swear words when I re-covered it!  I am just hoping it doesn't snow and the Met office have got it wrong!  Snow in March...can you believe it?

Hope you can make it on Saturday, see you then, I will be the one with a team of Pugs pulling the sledge........
