1 Day to go...


I'm getting excited! If you don't know why yet, well the wonderful Vintage & Handmade Fair is on Saturday & today I have been gathering goodies from all over the house - in bags & boxes, crates & plastic tubs, hoping I haven't forgotten anything & writing up "Do Not Forget" lists - well, we don't want to be without our sugar tongs for the sugar lumps, or the tablecloths for the tea tables do we? I have to remember the trays, teapots & the tea (coffee & hot chocolate too!), not to mention the bunting, banners & string.

I don't have any pretty pictures to show you of my stock as everything is packed - this pile is not even half of what I have to bring so I hope it will all fit on my stall! But you can probably spot a couple of pretty quilts, Christmas trees & baubles, games & toys, as well as a double basket filled with bags of vintage trinkets for stocking fillers.
I'll also be bringing vintage Christmas by the boxful, books, toys, tins, china, kitchenalia, vintage school pictures, linen, vintage calendars, ribbons, paper chains & more, all for your shopping pleasure!

  9. You sound more excited than I am, but you can't be as this is my first time! Take plenty of cakes as Michael will be first at the tea counter! I don't know how you can run a stall and a tearoom - you must be mad, or as I like to be called eccentric!
