How I wish we had smelliblogland !

Before I show pictures of a slightly different stall layout at Malvern yesterday, I thought that I would show you this beautiful large blousy single rose that my Mum cut for me this morning, the scent is amazing, I am privileged as we are not usually allowed to cut the roses as she prefers them in situe, she thinks that this year the displays will be magnificent and I will blog them when they are in full bloom.

Back to business, yesterday was strange, last Bank holiday at Malvern most people had a blinder, yesterday however most people that I spoke to sold about half of what they usually do, I am glad that it wasn't just me. I know that perhaps I shouldn't say that but I had a whole rail of lovely dresses and had wondered if it was the stock. Prices maybe, but I am always happy to negotiate?

Donna Flower had told me that she had seen some dresses in Totnes not as nice as mine for more money, so what was the problem?

I did notice that a few of my regular ladies did not come round and the fair was really big, maybe people had spent up before they came into the cattle sheds?

One lady had run out of money but she is sending a cheque and I will post the lovely nautical blue & white stripey number to her.

Unfortunatly I had gone with expectations of a very good day, usually I am pessimistic as then you can't be dissappointed, Michael being new to this business is always optimistic, however he learnt a lesson yesterday!

I hope that you all had a nicer day.
