Well this past week has seen me frantically getting things ready for the 2 fairs that I have on this weekend. Both a little different as one is a rag rummage which is mostly vintage fabrics and anything to do with textiles and the other one is a Vintage Fair set in the lovely grounds of Castle Hill in Devon.
I have to say that I am a little concerned about the first fair and only hope that I have got it right, I am afraid my things don't look very raggy!! (new word but I think you know what I mean).
As promised here are some photos of some of the things that I bought in France I was so pleased with them and look so nice when they have all been washed starched and ironed.
lovely monogram sheet and some monogram embroidery initials that you can sew onto fabrics as well as a beautiful lace necklace and you can just see a sweet little french book.
Well I hope I have got it right and will keep you informed I think it looks ok so why do I get so worried! Oh well time will tell! Off to bed now as early start in morning about 6 o'clock ugh!!!!

A trug full of bundles of vintage fabrics
a beautiful chemise and lace bought at brocante markets in Biarritz
Toile and sweet little books by Shakespeare
Some bags that I have made from french linen and french fabrics
Pretty plates and lavender bags
Old wooden cotton reels and french studs.
Pretty bags just right for the summer (when it comes)

ReplyDeleteIn my little experience people love to rummage through baskets, i always have a basket of odd china to sell. And price everything! I'm always put off asking for prices at fairs!
Wish I was going!Hope that you have a great time.....
