Sunday - jumble!

This weekend has not been too productive, however I did find this lovely Mabel Lucie Atwell print in an old oak frame, the colour is not true, the ground is a dirty faded cream, the print is foxed but I think that it makes it more appealing.
This afternoon we went to a very rare event in these parts, a jumble sale (Sunday as well) !
Years ago Mum and I used to trawl them and find many lovely things, however it is very difficult to find genuine old things nowadays, but I came a way with an old hunting waistcoat and a pair of oyster coloured satin single eiderdowns.

    So you survived it then! I nearly had a heart attack at how rough people are at jumble sales - it was like a game of rugby!!

    I am going to make a point of finding all the little village jumble sales round here this year ... you just never know what you might find ! Better start practising my defence tactics for all those elbows. x

    Good finds ....jumble sales (we call them rummage sales) are becoming scarce now.... apparently there is a shortage of volunteers

    Aaah - that print just about sums up our granddaughter and her new baby brother! Though I hear that she could tempted to accidentally 'drop' him... As for jumble sales, they seem to have disappeared round here.Cx

    Yes, jumble sales....I spent most of my weekends at them when I was young. I remember buying a pair of bright yellow clogs in the Seventies and thought I was so cool....stomping around in my short mini skirt pretending to be the blonde one from ABBA! Happy days....

    Hi there! I'm holding a vintage fair myself at Stourhead Gardens in Wiltshire on the 3rd July, and I'm looking for stallholders to promote and sell their vintage wears! I found out about you from "Vintage at the Village Hall". Would you be interested in holding a stall?...the event is set to be a huge success, and is the perfect location especially during the summer months!We are also going to be raising money with a vintage fashion and burlesque show for CLIC SARGENT so it will be really worthwhile. please contact me on vintage_vultures if you are interested and want further info. Thanks! Kitty xx

    Hi Tracey,
    This is a bit of a shot in the dark! - Did you sell this print? I've been searching half heartedly for my Aunty for some time.
    Thanks,
    Jo
