Sunday, 8 September 2013

Yesterday morning the village hall in Rangeworthy was piled high with lovely vintage bargains. One of the advantages of being a stall holder is the quick scout around before the doors open. I scooped up a lovely doll, a teddy bear, teeny ceramic pudding charms, a souvenir horse and cart from Thornbury, Liberty fabrics and a pair of stockings for the lovely illustration on the front.

We had a long queue waiting by the time the doors opened at 10am and it was non stop until closing time. I sold loads and came home with a lot less than I took, much to Mr C's delight! By closing time the stalls looked decidedly bare.

As pictures paint a thousand words I will leave you with some photos of the treasures on offer.

If you missed this one, fear not as the last Jumble of the year will be held on the 12th October in Box in Wiltshire. See our website for more details. Www.vintageandhandmade.co.uk

PS....I am using the blogger app on my iPad for the first time so please let me know if this post looks ok on your computer!

He knows when you're happy
He knows when you're comfortable
He knows when you're confident
And he always knows when you have carrots.

VINTAGE FINDS

We had great fun at the Vintage Jumble on Saturday & then a car boot on Sunday. I will be back with photos of the Jumble once I have downloaded them, but in the meantime here is a photo of 2 1960's felt dolls that I bought.
