The new Stanley?


As I may have mentioned before, Toby is rather partial to a vintage cushion & crochet blanket (he has a patchwork knitted one in his basket!). So, when Homes & Antiques were doing a feature on dogs I had to send along a photo & bio. Do pop along to their website & see all the lovely dogs including Toby who now fancies himself in the same league as Cath Kidston's Stanley!

Vintage Jumble This Saturday!


I hope you will be able to join us for a fun day out at the V&H Vintage Jumble Sale.
It is being held on Saturday 24th March 2012
at the Rangeworthy Village Hall,
Wotton Rd, Rangeworthy, South Gloucestershire, BS37 7LZ
10.30am - 2.00pm

Rangeworthy is just a few miles away from Chipping Sodbury where the V&H Fairs are held. The village hall is on the main road so it is easy to find & we will be flying the bunting.

Some of your favourite Vintage & Handmade Fair dealers will be having a Spring clear out & offering vintage goodies at bargain prices.
There will be 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.

Teas & homemade cakes will be served by the Rangeworthy WI in aid of charity.

There is something...

Sitting behind two pricked ears & a long mane, gazing across the Severn to Wales on a misty spring morning makes all that early mucking out worthwhile.

As Winston Churchill once said:


'No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle.'
and
'There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.'

(And a woman too of course!)

New Neighbours


The horses have new neighbours - 8 mummy goats & 18 kids. They are very curious & come over to say hello like this cute pair.

Shop Update


Yesterday I spent a little while adding some new stock to my online shop.
Vintage Goody bags can be found in 'Vintage Sewing'. These will provide hours of fun - containing all sorts of goodies including a vintage children's magazine, knitting needles, postcards, ribbons, buttons & more. All are colour themed.




I have also added some lovely little evening bags in 'Boudoir'. These are ideal for weddings, evenings, or the prom & all at reasonable prices. I particularly like these 3....the peach velvet has the most beautiful clasp.


This one is so '50's in turquoise satin with sequins & beads.



This one is hand embroidered on black velvet - the peacock is very eye catching.

Full Of The Joys Of Spring!

Balli took full advantage of being turned out without his rug for the first time by having a good roll. As you can see, Dylan was more interested in the serious business of eating....
