All aboard the Skylark......

 See you there????

Spring florals

 Mum's front garden is blooming lovely today, bursting with florals

I have turned my hand to creating with 1930's & 1950's fabrics all backed with vintage linen 

 50's roses

 Edwardian embroidered pyjama cases, now with feather pads

The most beautiful faded 1930's floral

bright 1950's floral

will all be coming to Totnes this Saturday, unfortunately the bench will not, but they will be displayed in the entrance foyer along with quilts, pretty cupboards, a formica floral table(rare) and lots of other beautiful items.

The fair is gorgeous, please come along and say hello.

Vintage Mix - what a day!

Saturday morning was an early start for us as we had stayed in the Travelodge in Torquay, a night of revellers, sirens, closed windows, overheated room, and anticipation of the fair made for a very poor nights sleep, however we arrived in the dark outside the hall and unloaded and waited, no one arrived (yes we were early), we waited and eventually Lizzie, Phillipa, Amanda and others joined us eagerly waiting for the doors to open.

After setting up I managed to snap a few pictures before the doors were officially opened.

Unmistakably Donna, who really does look like a model, she bought a tweed riding jacket from me and some fantastic Dame Edna style sunnies, she looked great.
Phillipa had a beautiful stall of enamel & garden items, she does have a knack of finding lots of lovely useful things.

The next few photos were of Hesta & the Pugs stall, Jo and her mum, Carol were lovely I had been looking forward to meeting them both, Jo and I have much in common & Carol lives by the sea, talk? we could have talked for hours.........hopefully we will keep in touch (Carol is actually going to be my Kirsty as she is looking out for seaside property for us)

Oh you must recognise this rainbow of colours

Amanda, Shabby Chick, had a lovely stall tucked away in the corner, as I do not like to use flash, the light was not quite good enough, but I did want you to see this fantastic screen that she had.

Finally a few pics of our stall, we were in the foyer and happy to be there as we had fresh air and could watch the world coming & going.

I did not manage to take pictures of all of the stalls, but there will be many other blogs that will have so keep looking.

Lesley and her team made it a very well attended, efficiently run & very enjoyable day - thank you.

Here's to the next one, I hope that my name is at the top of the list?!
