I have been to Gloucester Antiques Centre again to add some new stock & a small set of shelves for more display space. They were just boring old pine so I painted them my favourite duck egg blue which I think sets off vintage items beautifully.
I rearranged the display on my little table - I use this as my "shop window" & change the display every time I go. This seems to work well as it brings different items to the attention of the customers & I always sell items from there. This week it is a bit of a tea party theme with china & glass.
Now for the giveaway.....as I have 299 followers & it's my birthday on Wednesday so I thought I'd have a giveaway to thank you all for your support & friendship.
Until I started blogging I didn't realise how many like minded folk there were out there. Without the blogging world so much of what I have done in the last few years wouldn't have happened.....particularly the Vintage & Handmade Fairs which has exceeded all my expectations. I would never have met my partner in crime, Michele, or all of the lovely ladies that read my blog or exhibit at & attend the fairs & who I now call friends....so thank you once again!
The giveaway will be a surprise box of vintage goodies - all you have to do is to leave a comment here & I will do the draw on my birthday - the 2nd February.
And speaking of fairs - don't forget about the Vintage Jumble on the 5th March - it's going to be great fun!!

ooh, can I be the first of no doubt what will be a long list of hopefuls for your give away!. I feel just the same as you, this blogging world has shown me I am not on my own in my love of collecting (maybe to extremes sometimes) and people I have met or not met have become good friends. Sitting with everything crossed! Jane xx

I'd be surprised if you *didn't* sell lots from your booth! You always find such lovely things. I want to be entered in the give-away, but if...uh... when... I win, I'd be more than happy to pay the shipping. ;-) Good luck to all your enter-ers. Enter-ees? Entrants. Participants!

ReplyDeleteA very good idea for your litle table Jayne, the girls at the Old Pill Factory have done the same for me this weekend by putting my floral tablecloths on a table and laying it for tea and I have sold 5, each time that they put one on it sold! I htink it must be the bright colours reminding people that Spring will be here anytime now!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday for this week - new shoes??

"Until I started blogging I didn't realise how many like minded folk there were out there"...sums it up perfectly!

Happy birthday for Wednesday i hope you have a lovely day. I have to just say i spotted a blue glass bowl in top photo to the right of the shelves its on a little silver stand. It looks like one i bought the other day and i love it, but i am not sure what age it is, could i be cheeky and ask you to kindly let me know how old it is please? I would love to be entered into your draw please. Have a lovely week, dee x

ReplyDeleteI really must get into the Antiques Centre in Gloucester - it's not far!
Oh, how exciting! I would love to enter your giveaway. Happy Birthday for Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteI love the colour you painted the shelves and all your lovely tea party things. I wish I lived near enough to visit a fair. At least we have your blog to swoon over!
The duck egg blue looks lovely on those shelves -I'm sure i have a pot of similar paint and might give the pine shelves the dog has chewed a coat of paint.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy Birthday and I'd love to go in your giveaway!
Make me number 300! I love your Mobo, he looks in great condition. I've got a bit of a soft spot for Mobos - they just take up such a lot of space so some live in the loft!
ReplyDeleteHave a great birthday however you are spending it.
