My husband and I love antiquing here in the states and he has collected literally thousands of old buttons in our travels so your buttons were of special interest. I love all the fabrics you show. I cannot find such lovely fabric in our stores here as of yet, but keep looking.

She even had a 20's themed wedding when she married my brother (too bad it was in the days before blogging)! lol<BR/><BR/>And what I find the MOST wonderful is that your daughter is taking an interest in your love for vintage!

I love the hat stand! Lucky girl, they are hard to find now. I too went to Ashley Hall Vintage Fair but in the afternoon. I treated myself to 2 florals hats to add to my collection and found some lovely fabrics, buttons, brooches and other trimmings. In the morning I went to Shepton Mallet Flea Market where I had the pleasure of meeting Sue & Donna for the first time. Bought some lovely fabric from Sue. Also saw Donna later that afternoon at the Ashley Hall Vintage Fair. I'm glad I made the time to go to both fairs. It was a fruitful day! Thanks for sharing your finds, I always find them a pleasure to look at.<BR/>Take care. IsabelleW XAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
