Christmas at the Dairy!

After visiting one of my usual haunts to buy some treasures for my shop yesterday, hubby and I then headed off to Dairy House late morning. Lizzie and Woo (mostly, I think?) had organised a Christmas Market as an added attraction to the antiques centre.

There were several pretty stalls outside, under the verandah, making the entrance look very inviting.

Just inside the main doors there was spiced mulled wine on offer and delicious mince pies and nibbles!

Throughout the three floors, the regular displays were interspersed by visiting dealers offering a tempting array of antiques, vintage goodies and handmade products.

Most of the centre was decorated with seasonal greenery and the carols playing made the atmosphere very relaxed and, well, festive! :)

Here's more of the lovely displays that could be enjoyed over the three floors...

Of course I did make a few purchases yesterday, but wonder if I bore you with my regular posts about the things I buy?...I can show the items later in the week (am baby sitting today, so time is strapped! ;-)) - Busy week this week too with school cabaret, an (extra) important Birthday, and lots of my handmade pieces to finish for the V&H fair on the 3rd, etc etc.

Hubby and I rounded off a lovely day out with a late lunch in a cafe in Shaftesbury overlooking Gold Hill that we have visited before...

with a walk around the picturesque town afterwards.

Then it was time to head home for a family roast dinner...

Perfect!

Hope you had a lovely weekend too,
