Vintage Jumble - Saturday 25th August

Join us for a fun day out at the V&H Vintage Jumble Sale
on Saturday 25th August 2012
at the Rangeworthy Village Hall,
Wotton Rd, Rangeworthy, South Gloucestershire, BS37 7LZ
10.30am - 2.00pm

Some of your favourite Vintage & Handmade Fair dealers will be having a clear out & offering vintage goodies at bargain prices.
China, glass, textiles, toys, books, ephemera & much more....something for everyone.

Last year's events were great fun with bargains galore, so come along & relive the days of the good old village jumble sale!

Free admission & parking....please do respect our neighbours though & don't block their access.
Teas & homemade cakes will be served by the Rangeworthy WI in aid of charity. 

I have posted a few photos from the March event to give you a taster of the goodies you can expect to find there. 

Gloucester

As you already know, I have a unit at the Gloucester Antiques Centre. This is situated at the Gloucester docks in an old warehouse which has been beautifully renovated & offers a lovely bright, light space to display my vintage treasures.

Usually I go straight there, unload & arrange my stock, grab a cup of coffee & then go home. 

Last week, as Mr C was with me, we decided to go for a wander. It's quite funny how you overlook the places you go to regularly isn't it? They just get taken for granted. While I was there I took some photos of the interesting things I saw & thought I'd share them here with you.

A beautiful building right in the middle of the shopping area.

A prettified bicycle outside a vintage shop which I discovered down an alley - it used to be a pub!

An amazing clock above a shop. It has moving figures which animate & ding their bells on the hour.

Finally, two photos of the docks themselves - this is just outside the antique centre. I loved the little 'garden' area next to the canal boats. 

Besides the antique centre there is the Gloucester Quays outlet centre, a number of cafes & various shops & it is just a short walk to the pedestrianised shopping area. There are a couple of museums in the dock area & you can go for a boat ride along the canals too. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Gogogo!

Dylan & I are very excited to watch the second phase of the Olympic equestrian eventing. After the dressage phase yesterday Team GB are starting in 3rd place for the cross country today. Cross country & show jumping are their strengths, so let's hope they move up the ranking.

Dylan will be willing them on & telling them how it should be done....

Which sport is your favourite to watch?

Dog Heaven...

Fleamarket Fun

 On Sunday (the first dry Sunday in ages) Mr C & I sent off for the Shepton Mallet Fleamarket. It was huge! I think that the dealers were out in force as we finally had a dry day. It took us hours to walk around ...with a tea & doughnut break of course! My favourite stall was this one where the dealer had a veritable army of push along doggies & other beasties - I have never seen so many together - quite a treat! I did take one home of course...a little mohair doggy, but I did rather fancy the white plastic poodle as well.

The ride on HP sauce bottle ticked our fancy too.

There was so much to see but we only took a few photos.

Christmas in July....

A wagon full of wooden sleighs, carts, skis & much more - I thought a little cart would look rather fetching in the garden.

The crowds of eager shoppers indoors....

 I was quite selective in my purchases which included some china & glass as well as a lovely little sewing machine in it's original carry case.

I do hope we keep on having dry Sundays now!

Vintage Jumble - Stalls Available.

It's time for a Big Clear Out again!

After the success of previous events & due to popular demand, we will be holding our next Vintage Jumble on Saturday 25th August. Once again it will be held  at the village hall in Rangeworthy BS37 7LZ (the venue of the first V&H Fair!).

The Jumble will be vintage & not just general household stuff. Prices will be "Cheap & Cheerful" so people can come along & find a bargain & we end up with some empty space at home. Most prices will be under £10. 

  

Opening times will be 10.30am - 2.00pm so no crack of dawn starts!

 We have a couple of stalls available so if you'd like to clear out some space please let me know asap if you'd like a stall - they will be allocated on a first come, first served basis at just £20.00.

Delicious tea, coffee & cakes will be served by the Rangeworthy WI.
