A Look Back at 2010 (Some of my 'Best Bits'!)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Lets hope its a good one...

Here is my quick look back at 2010, as is becoming a bit of a tradition for me on my blog...
JANUARY:
The year began with a lot of snow, which held up (or not!) my New Year plans for a while...

One of my most memorable events during 2010, was the opening of my new shop 'Nostalgia at No.1' in Shepton Mallet. I received so many lovely comments to the post I wrote about it, where I gave a tour and showed some of the vintage stock I had available.

FEBRUARY:
Although it sparked a little bit of a debate, I had to find a balance for my shop's opening times.

The one that got away- a cushion that I made, which I wished now, I had kept...

MARCH:

Spring started to arrive.

Hubby and I celebrated our Silver Wedding Anniversary.

APRIL:

The first, and very successful, Dairy House textile and costume event.

Some lovely vintage treasures with stories to tell.

MAY:

Time at our beloved Devon...

Then time for some much needed gardening.

An article about our home was included in the June issue of BBC's Homes & Antiques, too.
JUNE:

Days out with my in-laws, including Lacock and Corsham.

I wrote a long post including details of one of my collections, and some of my recent make-over projects.

JULY:

Included a visit to local Camerton Court.

I found time for a mammoth cupboard move.

AUGUST:
Saw me very excited about seeing Mrs. Sergison wearing the c1950's dress, that was bought by the BBC from my shop, for the filming of Turn Back Time.

I was in reflective mood, and paused to think about how things were going in my shop, having been open for around 7 months. (This was one of my favourite posts - It took a while to put it together, but I needed to express my thoughts at that time...)

SEPTEMBER: Hubby and I visited beautiful Dunster and the surrounding area.

I shared some of my favourite textile treasures.

OCTOBER: We stayed in Shrewsbury for a couple of days, to celebrate hubby's Birthday.

I made 'Fallen Angels' for the 'Vintage Bazaar', Frome.

NOVEMBER:
My parents celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary.

And another celebration was the Victorian Event in Shepton Mallet, to mark the opening episode of BBC1's 'Turn Back Time; the High Street', which also appeared on the regional BBC news.

DECEMBER:

Later, despite the very cold, snowy conditions, many turned out for the end of series party, and the final episode of 'Turn Back Time, which was held on the Market Place in Shepton Mallet.

And finally another Christmas came and went...
