After being welcomed by Patricia the owner and being shown the Elizabethan bedroom that was to be my 'pitch', we had a quick look around the beautiful house and gardens.

I shared the room with Julia, who I have met before at the local flea markets. She sells beautiful floral china and had a wonderful selection with her on Saturday. We had a great laugh all day.
It was a very long day though and by the end of Saturday I wasn't feeling 100%. I decided not to do the Sunday as well. I'm sorry if anyone visited on the Sunday and I wasn't there - This wasn't the best venue for my goods, as it lacked the 'vintage-vibe', but there were plenty of other goods throughout the hotel to tempt the visitors...

I then had to get on with arranging my stock around the bedroom to entice the visitors...

Thanks to those who stopped by to say hello - It was lovely to see Radka again and to meet Julie from Devon.

Mum is staying with me for a few more days, so I may be off the radar till then...

I would like to quickly mention a new blog though. I spoke of Carole in a previous post. She was very kind in lending a Victorian skirt to me for the Victorian Event in Shepton Mallet.
Her new blog is called Vampalicious and her post about the recent event is here. Hope you'll enjoy a visit.

Hope you are feeling better! I read your blog regularly and am always amazed by how much you do - hope you'll have a few quieter days with your Mum! Will be thinking of you when your shop reapppears on our tv screens this week!
ReplyDeleteHi Niki, sorry to hear that you were not feeling well:( I hope you are better now. We enjoyed our visit to Compton House very much, but we also thought that it must had been a very long Saturday for anyone exhibiting.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to see you with your mum and I hope you had a good day, despite...
I also bought a small tray from your friend Julia (just found out her name from your blog)and there was a little surprise for me when I looked at it at home (see my blog..)I wish you a quick recovery. x
Hi Niki ...
ReplyDeleteI hope that everything went well.
Your creations were the best, I'm sure, though I was not there ...
A dear greeting, Maria.

it was great watching the back in time programme and seeing your shop in the background!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link Niki - I didn't make it to the 70s finale because of the snow, it was too cold to wear the ultra floaty 70s number I was planning on wearing. Hope you took pics of the costumes so we can see them. x
