A FLOCK? A FLIGHT? A FANCY?

 Yesterday I was adding lots of little Christmas Fairies & Angels to my online shop when I got to wondering what the collective nouns were for groups of fairies. A Flock? A Flight? A Fancy? A Frolic? A Flutter maybe? I thought any of those would be sweet but I decided to look it up & found that it is a 'herd' of fairies! Now, I don't know about you, but I don't think that fits very well! Horses, sheep & elephants assemble in herds...but fairies? Doesn't sound nearly dainty enough! Suggests a group of fairies clumping around in big boots rather than flittering about in glittery slippers & sprinkled in fairy dust. Which would you choose?

Angels on the other hand are grouped into a Choir, a Host or a Chorus, all of which seem quite appropriate!

Vintage Bazaar

Sadly, Toby will not be attending the super Vintage Bazaar in Frome tomorrow (he is very sad about that), but his friend, Snowy, will be coming along instead.

Mr C & I will be there bright & early to add our treasures to the delectable selection available (me in my Christmas jumper but not sure about the mister!)

Hope to see some of you there!

V&H CHRISTMAS


It has taken me a while to download some photos from the fabulous V&H Christmas Fair...I just don't seem to have much time these days! 

Anyway, it was a wonderful day with around 900 visitors streaming in from opening time to closing time.

There were vintage treasures & handmade delights on every stall as you can see from these photos. Everything looked so wonderful but unfortunately I couldn't post all the photos, so if you'd like to see more we do have an album on our Facebook page here.



















The next fair that I will be attending is the fabulous Vintage Bazaar in Frome on the 15th December - 
hope to see some of you there!

Hope to see some of you there!
