It's Fair Time!

My kitchen

Hello again!

I have been busy getting ready for the The Vintage Bazaar in Frome, Somerset which is going to be held at the Cheese and Grain on SATURDAY 29th OCTOBER 11.

This time, I have drawn inspiration from my kitchen for the display of my stall.

Here is a little sample of some of the many things you will find on my stall

Handmade mini lavender pockets (Made using vintage Calais lace and pesticide free lavender from my parent's garden in France)

Redoute Rose bookplates

Spice jars

Vintage fabric, fat quarters and quilts

1930s delphiniums plaque

Vintage and vintage inspired ribbons

Vintage clothes

Painted furniture

French enamelware

Pretty embroidered tablecloths and linens

Vintage wallpaper for scrap booking or to do a patchwork effect on a wall

This is just a little taster...

This is the perfect opportunity to get some of your Christmas shopping done and find things that you cannot get on the High Street

I hope that you can make it and look forward to seeing you there!

Alan and Miss P will be giving a helping hand too.

What a show!

After months of preparing for The Vintage Bazaar Fair in Frome, the day finally came. The doors opened to the public at 09.00 hours and the crowd steadily increased until the hall became very busy indeed! The fair had a lovely atmosphere with retro music playing in the background to add to that vintage feel. It was so busy that my first chance to have a look around the other stalls was not until around 14.00 hours! Hence the lack of photos around the other stalls this time...Sorry...
I am not complaining though, it was a fantastic day which both Alan and I enjoyed.





It was an opportunity to catch up with many familiar faces such as Katie, Denise, Hen, Donna, Liz, Clare, Niki, Nicky, Sue, Lucy, Tracey and many others. I also met some lovely people including the beautiful Carrie Harwood and her Mother Jan. Carrie has a blog called wishwishwish.net which has a strong following, some of you may already know it. Carrie who is from Shepton Mallet, has recently won Cosmopolitan's Magazine Best Fashion and Style Blog Award. Other lovely people I met include Sarah from Shepton Mallet, another really lovely lady whose name I forgot to ask (long blond curly hair who does not have a blog but follows mine, hopefully you know who I am referring to if you are that person....) and many others. Thank you for having taken the time to come to my stall to say hello and introduce yourselves and for your lovely comments.

























Thank you to my parents and Alan for their help and support over the past few months. So very much appreciated!
I'd also like to thank Liz, Clare and their husbands for arranging such a beautiful event and for the work they put in to it to make it the successful event that it was. If you weren't able to attend, you missed out on a really good day....I am looking forward to the next one on Saturday 30th April 2011!

Have a lovely weekend.
