Thanks to Lizzie and Clare for organising such a beautiful fair at Devises on Saturday.
My thanks too, to all who made a purchase from my stand...

 |
| There were some wonderful pieces on offer... My purchases included... |
 |
| A sweet cottage tapestry from Michelle. |
 |
| A pair of Laura Ashley curtains from 'All Things Vintage & Beautiful'. |
 |
| And several beauties from cheerful Elaine, of 'Ted and Bunny'. This stunning barkcloth... |
 |
| Two embroidered panels... |
 |
| And two antique books which I intend to give to a friend as a Birthday present, so won't be showing those here as she may peek! :) |
 |
| Its also possible to buy copies of Homes and Antiques magazine at many of the vintage fairs for just £2, (back issues are usually only £1) which I did! - Alice often has a stall to promote the magazine and writes a blog reporting from the fairs she attends. *** I'm hoping to put the beautiful fabrics that I bought to good use. I am currently into cushion making, which always seems important when spring comes around...Folk get into the spring cleaning and have a need for a fresh look for their homes... |
 |
| This seagull cushion was made from an old hand-worked tapestry. |

| The reverse. ** |
 |
| Another cushion made from hand embroidered linens and a vintage floral on the reverse. |

| And a vintage Sanderson to match the chair I recently reupholstered. |
Sunshine at last - Enjoy your week!

ReplyDeletelove from cheerful me xx
*ggg* she IS cheerful!
ReplyDeleteSo sad I could not be on both places in the same time. But our day was fabulous, as well. Thank you again for all, Niki - it was so nice to see you again last Friday. I haven't yet unpacked all what I brought home but tomorrow...
Look after yourself, please - you need some rest after all that stress, I could see it. Have a great week, spring is there!
OOOH Mrs,what a lovely post,all that prettiness!How can people bear to sell it? I do WISH I lived nearer I would so love to attend those vintage fairs!!Actually we are having a Spring fair at Olympia where I have my space,I can't do a stall as I still work full time and no one at work knows about my hobby. Because I work for a charity we are not allowed to do anything regarding selling to the public but as my space doesn't require me to sell things myself I feel that it's ok.I enjoy having another secret life that is all mine and I can escape to for a break from the hum drum!!Mabe one day I will do it full time,you never know! 'bye for now Pam.
