Shepton Mallet Flea


                                          Well I get about a bit.Is there no stopping this woman?
                                                          The sun came out as you can see.
                                                     Good job no one takes a gazebo here.
                                                               Milverton here I come!!

Nether Stowey Street Fair



                      Well they are always lots of work so it's good when your stall is appreciated,despite not taking the gazebo as I was warned it was very windy.I could just imagine me on my own trying to hang onto it while trying to stop the china from crashing to the floor!! As it was it stayed dry and calm, a jolly good time washad by all. Thanks to all those who visited my stall.

                                                    SHEPTON MALLET FLEA February 26th
 Well it's happened! My daughter Harriet now has a full time job and is unable to do the vintage business with me .Congratulations Harriet,very well done,You will be missed at the fayres ,not least by me but we wish you well in your new career.
So this flea was the last  she did with me although we did not know it at the time.We had a great day and are really getting a name.
The small items of furniture you see in the picture,the little cabbages and roses stool,tripod table,umbrella stand and child's chair are sold and for sale in a lovely vintage shop in Clifton Bristol,called"Jemima Rose".You will find her in the arcade,a gorgeous shop.Do go and visit if you can.
My next Shepton Mallet Flea is on April 8th,see you there I hope!

                                                 VINTAGE EMBROIDERED BUNTING
                    Don't worry no tablecloths were damaged or injured during the making of this bunting!!!
               Seriously,the original cloth was very damaged from all the wear,so I rescued it and gave it a new life.
                                       
                                                            VINTAGE COTTON NAPKINS
                             When I made these it reminded me of long hot summer days and picnics.
                                    Not sure why,just evoked some memory from somewhere.
          VINTAGE FABRIC AND EMBROIDERED HEARTS
    I have been busy sewing pretty things for our stall at Shepton Mallet Flea.I was hoping to post the things I had made before we went but my pictures would not upload.They looked very pretty put amongst the vintage china  on the stall.
