Vintage Bothy decisions!


Hello, I am posting a note to say that as my blog has been sadly neglected of late and due to a major project at home and an exciting prospect at Dairy House.
I am not happy posting once in a while, as previously I have worked hard to regularly post either something interesting or lovely or both, so I am wondering if  I should perhaps suspend this blog.
I am always disappointed when I go to look at blogs that I enjoy and they haven't been updated and would not like my followers to feel the same way.
I have thought about just posting one picture and comment - but would that be suficient?
I am an all or nothing sort of person, so perhaps to stop for a while would be best?
Any comments would be gratefully recieved.

You will still be able to catch up with beautiful things as I will be contributing to Dairy House Antiques blog, and I do have a "Pinterest" page.

I will leave you with some photos of two little visitors that I was recently asked to look after.....
Katy and Lily are working girls, and as my son is now working near home, needed board and lodgings for them, whilst he flew off to Majorca. Unfortunatly for him, in less than a week they had become very naughty sofa doglets!!

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.

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!!

A quick visit to Dairy House

Technically, a visit to my unit, last weekend we helped our lovely friend move house, as I was just down the road I spent a day expanding and re-arranging my unit, these pictures should give you a flavour of how it looked when it was finished.

Apologies again......

I apologise for not blogging sooner and also fod not mentioning that I have left The Old Pill Factory.
It is still thriving, but my business is taking me in a different direction.
I am taking more space at Dairy House and am concentrating my efforts there.
I can indulge my love of old metal and unusual items which at the moment are proving to be very popular.
How I wish that this was our moving truck!!

A flying visit today with a van full of goodies, mostly slanted towards outdoor living, in readiness for the “Indoor living – outdoor life” fair to be held on Sunday. I have another van full to take down on Saturday.
