| You may have read about my friend Jill on my blog before - A lovely lady who does look after me! In the past I've been able to buy heaps of beautiful rose china which she's saved for me. Last night I was invited to her home again to rootle through some more vintage treasures she had found with me in mind. Its always a pleasure to buy from Jill, as she knows my taste...Well, we share the same taste, actually. This is what greeted me when I arrived at her home yesterday evening. Lots of lovelies laid out on the table for me to sort through. :) |
 |
| The embroidered linens are particularly scrummy...I shall be recycling many of these into something new... |
 |
| The lovely green basket was full of little gifts for me! :) |
 |
| (The fabulous set of 6 Victorian blue and white tea cups and saucers sold straight away at my shop today - perhaps someone has a Jubilee tea party planned?!) |
 |
| Now, secretly I'd love to photograph Jill's entire home and garden, as I know you'd love them!...but I didn't like to intrude too much...So I asked her if I could take a couple of pictures in her beautiful newly constructed garden room... |
 |
| Jill managed to find a copy of Vintage Flowers after reading about it on my blog... And she too has been inspired! |
 |
| A cute display next to one of her bulging book shelves. |
 |
| A delightful craft area...with familiar handmade bag! |
 |
| And two little cuties rescued from a Jumble Sale! Maybe I should be brave and ask if I could take more photos to show on my blog another time? Jill is organising a Country Market, which will take place on Saturday June 30th at Saltford Village Hall (Saltford near Keynsham) 10am til 3pm. I know it will be wonderful. *** |
 |
| So, my shop is now stocked with lots of new (old!) lovelies... Including lots of scrumptious gardenalia... Which I filled with flowers from Shepton's market today. |
 |
| The bunting has just gone up on the High Street, in readiness for the Jubilee event tomorrow...(Details on my previous post.) Hope you have a lovely extra-long weekend, Niki x |
