Yesterday I was out at an antiques fair with my good friend Debbie. These are some of the treasures I came home with...
A barbola waste paper bin, which is for my daughter's bedroom.
 |
| A beautifully executed rose painting on board. |
 |
| This little tri-ang pushchair is just the right size for my rag dolls, so I shall be using it to display one at the Vintage Bazaar, Frome next month. |
 |
| A lovely collection of beaded bags - Some require a little tlc, but I shall have fun repairing them. |
 |
| Tiny trinkets some to repurpose and some to keep. |
Adorable mother-of-pearl pin keeper.
 |
| And a cheerful selection of postcards. |
***
On taking Debbie back home after our visit to the fair, I asked her if I could snap a few photos of her lovely cottage to share with you on my blog...
 |
| Some of you will know Debbie - Her home and garden are included in my book... |
 |
| And she is also an exhibitor, once a year, at the Vintage Bazaar, Frome, with her (always!) stunning gardenalia stall... |
 |
| Where she trades under the name of 'Pots & Pansies'. |
As with her stall, the attention to detail in her quaint little cottage echoes her taste for a by-gone era.
Come on in...
The dinning room.
 |
| The kitchen. |
 |
| And the living room. |
 |
Hope you enjoyed the tour -
Have a great week,
Niki x |

Hi T,
ReplyDeleteHope all is OK with you.
Many thanks for your comment on my blog. I have featured Debbie’s garden on my blog a couple of times in the past (mostly summer, as its not looking its best at the moment given the freezing/wet weather we’ve been having!)
Here are the links:
