Nearly there…….

I have a small indoor pitch at Kempton on Tuesday and am taking the car, so being very tight on space I am hoping that all of this, M & I will fit in!!

Florence has asked to stay at home which is good as it may have been a toss up between her and the flask & sarnies, and I know which would win if it was up to M!!

The new header was taken last Friday evening at Lulworth cove where after leaving The Dairy House, Woo & myself went for a swim – IT WAS FANTASTIC!!

Maybe we will see you at Kempton?!

Hello

I am still having trouble with everything and unfortunately my blog has suffered!

Today I am just posting some practice pics of a stall I am working on for an indoor pitch at Kempton next Tuesday 14th August.

The print tray holds an old collection of shells.

An old tin hatbox with bright blue inner

 

Only a few pictures, and taken in a dingy utility room, and not all of the stock, as I will be taking lighting and other bits that I am collecting from Dairy House this week.

But I thought that you might like to know that I am still here, but just too preoccupied with life at the moment!!

If you are coming to Kempton I we will be indoors in the Bronze ring, come and say hello!!

Practice makes perfect

Well maybe not perfect, but practice certainly helps if you are standing at a fair that you haven’t done before, so this was my job on Monday. I decided to try and cut down on props so have used the back of the van as a table rather than some where for the staff to sit!…….Tuesday after a 3am start and a 1 3/4 hour drive we arrived at Kempton, Sunbury on Thames.

After unloading quickly my lovely salesman was ready to go…..

 

What is handy is that as trading starts at 6.30am it is mostly finished by lunchtime, which means that our M3/M25/A40….journey home is not at 5-6pm.

folded on this rail is the most beautiful linen cover, single bed size or double bed top, or large table, it is hand embroidered with beautifully faded styalised flowers and birds in silk, probably by a memsahib in turn of the century India, and handed down through the family.

the WW1 campaign bed caused much interest but alas came home, at one point I thought that it may have been off to Japan!

 

Oh and of course lots of fabrics.
