Bluebells and Buying...

I took Mum to our local woods on Tuesday - The bluebells were just beginning to flower, along with the primroses, anemones and violets. 
Just a few photos I took along the way...













***
There's also been a bit of vintage shopping going on this week....
2 cute little books...
Silvery spoons and sparkles...



China pretties...


A vintage handmade bag...

Scrumptious unused 50's dress fabrics...

An adorable little posy vase that is now sitting on the shelf in our hall...

 A closer look! 

 An awesome c1930's evening coat... 


 And a beautiful Victorian papier-mache powder box with swansdown puff, and an antique boudoir hat brush.

 
Sorry, I'm still struggling to get to grips with the new way of composing posts on Blogger, so I'm afraid this one is a bit all over the place! - 
Do wish they could just leave things alone!! After 5 3/4 years here, I'd just about got into my stride! ;-)) 













Finally, two things I'd just like to mention:


If you'd like to read a preview of issue one of Pretty Nostalgic Magazine, (out May 1st) then take a look here.


And a 'new kid on the block' - If you haven't visited already, here's the link to a new blog  Whispers From Angels.


Have a lovely evening,

After the Fair...

Thank you to Lizzie and Clare for organising another great Vintage Bazaar on Saturday. AND a BIG thank you to all who visited my stall for a chat or to make a purchase...You made my day! :) 
Just adding photos today to give a flavour of this lovely fair...I still have my Mum staying with me, so can't hang around too long...And there's the new formatting that Blogger has just introduced to get used to, so I'm sorry if this post doesn't look like my usual style. 
































































Have a great week,
