<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We are often as those that follow my facebook know on our travels to various fairs in the South of England, one of my favourites is The Sussex Brocante at Wisborough Green.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The bonus of doing these fairs is that sometimes we get to stay at some lovely places so I thought I would share these places with you. We love to break our journey to Sussex and have found the most enchanting places we often break our journey at <a href="http://www.pythousekitchengarden.co.uk/">The Walled Kitchen Garden</a> at Pythouse which is between the villages of Semley and Tisbury in Wiltshire, the only day it is closed is Tuesday and you can have coffee lunch and at weekends dinner we love to either stop for coffee or lunch and if the weather is kind to us a lovely stroll around the garden, it is a beautiful and unique place. Here are a few pics to give you a taster</span><br />

Tillington near Petworth in Sussex, it is such a lovely and relaxed place to
stay, have a drink or eat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Beautiful
surroundings full of country flowers, old country furniture, open fires in the
winter and a lovely garden where you can sit on deckchairs, relax in a hammock
or on benches or bales of hay covered in sheepskin rugs, just a delightful
place, there are 3 rooms, one of which is<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>small little cottage. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">On our way home we like to stop for a while and we found a
traditional pub called the The Flowerpots Inn in a village called Cheriton <u>near
Alresford in Hampshire, nothing fancy here except a good old English pub,
totally unspoilt no music</u> or machines and a very good traditional pub food,
but most of all this pub has its own brewery across the car park where they
brew their own beer and if you like real ale then you will like this pub,
locals were coming in for a pint and leaving with their plastic milk bottles
full of beer to take home, and no credit or debit cards here only cash. It was
a very welcome break on our long trip home.</span></div>

her run this successful fair, the next one is on Thursday the 18<sup>th</sup>
July and if you can this is a definite must if you love beautiful items for you

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I think today had a little touch of spring in the air and
how nice was it to feel a little bit of warm sun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Everytime the postman arrives he brings so
many catalogues of new seasons clothes, gardening, and everything for your
home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But the one that I spend ages
looking through and dreaming of how my garden should look is Sarah Raven’s
catalogue, last year I grew her lovely wild flowers and it was a real success
and I was able to take large bunches of flowers to my fairs last summer to
brighten up my stall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year I am
going to grow as many as possible and lets hope that we get the weather to see
them in full bloom a lot quicker than we did last year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Now on to other things, I always have an idea of the type of
items I want<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to sell on my stall, but
get frustrated when I cant find them, I think it gets more difficult all the
time, but tomorrow I am off to my favourite auction, one that is amongst the
cowsheds and sells such a variety of things from tools to plants and then
amongst the odd item there are little gems that I can pick up, things that have
been laying around on farms never used that I can bring back to life I am only
hoping I am going to find some tomorrow. This is what I dream of finding somehow I just can't see it happening</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Last week I started doing my first fairs of the year,
starting at my favourite one at Wisborough Green in Sussex, it was very busy
and lovely to meet fellow blogger Charlotte from a </span><a href="http://cottage-in-totteridge.blogspot.co.uk/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Cottage in Totteridge</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">, and
really hope to see her again at Village Vintage in Plumpton. We stayed with
friends and went home on Saturday via Devizes where I had a stall at the
Vintage Bazaar at Devizes, lots of people, but unfortunately or fortunately I had
sold quite a bit at Wisborough Green so my stall was a little depleted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> But here are a few photos of my stall</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It has definitely been a great year, I started a new venture
Rosiebud Decorative Vintage in April and I think I have learnt such a lot in
this short time and have found my niche in style and what really interests
me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love old linens and faded fabrics
along with domestic china and enamelware as well as pretty mirrors, books, and
really anything that catches my eye, white china jugs, old pictures, mirrors,
lovely original distressed painted furniture, and I am really looking forward
to sourcing lots of new stock for my fairs in the coming year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have also met some lovely people, Liz &
Jack, Lucy & Laura and their lovely Mum & Dad, Darcey, Debbie, Jacquie, the two
Michelles, Caroline, Fenella, Ali and so many other stallholders and customers.
Great admiration for the ladies who run the fairs and fellow bloggers it has
been great to meet you all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My goodness I couldn't believe it but it is nearly six weeks since I wrote my blog. But today was so beautiful that I just had to go out with my camera and capture this lovely Autumn Day, after of course visiting the Rag and Rummage fair in Taunton, had to get my fix somehow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I am not a brown, orange or green girl but at this time of year I just love these colours, they just seem to go with blue skies and brighten up dull days (which we seem to have a lot of recently!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So here are a few photos of my outing this afternoon not far from home.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">If you are looking for a Christmas Fix then there are 2 fairs that I couldn't recommend more, if you live near Plumpton Racecourse in Sussex, surrounding areas of Lewis and Brighton the Village Vintage fair looks like it is going to be beautiful, with lots of lovely things to buy, I am busy making and foraging for new things to sell, really looking forward to making my stall look as inviting as possible and festive.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We certainly picked the right week for our trip to Sussex, wall to wall sunshine, we just couldn't believe our luck after the awful summer we have had. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Our first stop was to Petworth where we visited the Hungry Guest for bread and coffee,</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Been busy today at a country auction, and I mean country auction, it is held at a large farming market in deepest Devon, and when you are there I feel like I have gone back nearly 40 years in time, it is worth visiting if only to listen to the local characters, and visiting the Market Cafe. I was of course looking for items for my next fair which is in the Cotswolds, and it never fails to provide, lots of buckets, watering cans, milking stools but I am going to keep it a secret for now the exact location!!. The fair in the Cotswolds is run by Ali from </span><a href="http://bettyandviolet.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Betty and Violet</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> and is in the village of Toddington.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I am sorry that I have been a little lapse in writing my blog, but what with summer returning(if only for a few days) lots of fairs, buying excursions time seems to have gone very quickly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">But first of all I have to say that one of my highlights was meeting Lou from </span><a href="http://poppy-lou.blogspot.co.uk/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Poppy's</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> blog, Lou was everything that I imagined pretty and bubbly, just like her blog and we talked for quite a time, it is great to meet a fellow blogger and you feel that you have known them for such a while, I so hope that we will meet again very soon. I met Lou at a small vintage fair that I did in Taunton and although I don't have many photos of myself this is one of me at the fair.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It seems weeks ago now but I planted a small wild flower area in my garden, and with all the bad weather we have been having I thought they would never flower, but with the help of the sun in the last few days they have started to come out, they look so pretty and I wish I had planted more.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A couple of weeks ago we visited Shepton Mallet's flea market, and I have to say I struggled to find things to buy even though it was massive! but loved these pretty french sundae dishes, and the small white china ladle so sweet I am tempted to keep this one.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Then the sun appeared and we had glorious mornings and hot days so a visit to the beach and I even went in the sea and swam it was delightful and not cold at all, I love this beach, but the pebbles really hurt your bare feet when swimming (message to myself if I go swimming again to take some old beach shoes to swim in!!) At long last the evenings have been warm and we have returned to our evening walks, it has been lovely to see the sun go down so beautifully and you just know that the next day is going to be hot and sunny, (if only it had lasted!)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In the past few weeks I have been busy getting ready for fairs, and my last one did not disappoint it was set in the lovely village of Cuckfield in Sussex, (I know quite a way from me) but luckily I have a special friend who lives not far away and was able to accommodate us for the weekend as well as provide scrumptious meals!! I have to admit as this was held in a marquee the weather did need to play a part in all this but luckily except for a few very sharp showers (which brought everyone into the marquee - good for selling) it wasn't a bad day at all. The fair was full of such gorgeous things that I couldn't resist spending myself, lots of pretty china and stalls to inspire you, as well as a champagne tent and vintage tea tent, it was simply perfect and thanks to Lucy and Darcy who organised such a great event.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">So here is a few photos of the Village Vintage in Cuckfield.</span><br />

<br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Well the weekend was made special also by visiting my sister on Sunday and for once we were able to have lunch outside followed by Wimbledon it was a truly lovely end to a brilliant weekend</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">After selling a lot of my things I am off on a hunt for new goodies and this is what I found today, </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My house has been totally neglected and my garden well after suffering such bad storms at the weekend looks more like a disaster than a garden, the only thing that seems to be doing well is my tomatoes in the greenhouse, although no sign of tomatoes yet. The sweet peas have only managed a few flowers and my wildflower garden is struggling to flower, oh well perhaps summer will come eventually. I hope I am not boring you with my vintage fairs and I promise I will make sure that I blog about a different subject next time!!! This weekend I am doing a fair near Taunton, then off to Shepton Mallet Flea market. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Off to visit some of your lovely blogs, and thank you so much for all the lovely comments that you leave I so enjoy reading them.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">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).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">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.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Oh what can I say but I had a beautiful week, our holiday was very much a last minute thing, and I had booked the Chambre d'hote out of one of my old books Chambre de Secret. You know what its like I always have these fears that it won't be as good as it says, but wow this place was wonderful the rooms were beautiful the house was great and our hosts Marie and Christian were so friendly it just made the holiday</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This part of France we have never visited before and was very different from other parts of France it had a very Spanish feel about it with tapas bars and sangria all readily available (and it would have been rude to say no!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I am afraid my photos are not so good and some I can't even show as for some reason my camera was having a slight blip, and when I got home realised that one of the buttons that change the focus had obviously been knocked while travelling so alot were out of focus. But the ones that I have rescued I can share with you.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Well I am going to skip talking about the weather because it is really becoming very boring now, although yesterday we did have lunch in the garden!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">After last weekend with all the celebrations everything seems rather dull, but there is a little spark to keep me going and that is flying out to Biarritz on Tuesday, and the only think on my mind right now is making sure I don't fill my suitcase before I go, because I really need to leave room for goodies to bring home, apparently there is one of the biggest monthly brocante markets on when we are there!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">At long last I am picking flowers from the garden, and don't you just love this plate which I found at Avington Brocante from the lovely stall </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Found-Country-Antiques/216763638410113"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Found Country Antiques</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">They are just so sweet and delicious nothing better for breakfast, so although it is early I am off down the garden to pick some more to take to my mother who we are visiting today in Bournemouth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">As I mentioned in my last post I had a stall at an Antique Fair in Bideford and although there were not many buyers, it was a delightful place to be and lots of lovely people to talk to as well as the added addition of the BBC being there filming Antiques Road Trip with Charlie and James. </span><br />

everything that I love, sunshine, friends, great food and beautiful places to
visit.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

England to stay with my very very best friend, lovely day spent with her grandchildren

ever in the area give it a visit it is definitely worth it.</span><br />

assured it would be fine, and the BBC are there filming Antique Road Trip!! Don’t
think they will get any bargains from me!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">Have a great week and hope the sunshine stays for a while
(doubtful though!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08624731220833585981noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560467245103102156.post-77547831973142143722012-05-21T12:28:00.000-07:002012-05-21T12:28:35.061-07:00Summer might just be on its way.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">It seems a while since I have written a blog, but have been
away staying at my favourite B & B in Kent where we had a lovely welcome
from <a href="http://www.tower-house.biz/">Pippa</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">On our way down to Kent we stopped off at Batemans which is
Rudyard Kipling’s home, for me it is a little dark and austere, but the house
from the outside is beautiful and the gardens (well will be when the flowers
eventually come out) there is also a working<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>mill where you can buy the flour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

</span>The next day we thought we would visit Sissinghurst (Vita Sackville-West’s)
gardens, but guess what due to my lack of not looking in the National Trust book it
was closed, so off to Rye we went and spent a few hours looking around the
antique shops and then the heavens opened, so off to Hastings (also looked a
little grim in the rain) but came across this lovely shop, very interesting and
very expensive!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I suddenly came down with a virus and as much as I tried bed was the only answer, really annoying as I had so much to do, but when I did feel better and on a bright day I ventured into the garden to see how my garden was getting on. The wisteria has started to flower</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have been rushing around in the last few days, buying more stock and sewing, but now having a rest and preparing for friends at the weekend with all fingers crossed that the weather will improve and the sun will shine on Devon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have to confess to not making many cakes or puddings but thought I might indulge this weekend, I love making this cake, simple but full of yummy things, and you don't even have to bake it!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I just would like to tell you all about how brilliant this blogging world is,(but you probably already know this) I had an email from a lady in New Zealand who very much wanted to buy the bookazine which Country Living has bought out and she had read about in one of my earlier postings, and although she tried very hard to get one, they would not send one to her, so she dropped me an email to ask if I could help, and I was very happy to, and the Country Living book is now on its way to New Zealand, this is one of the lovely benefits of blogging! So enjoy Beverley and it was a pleasure.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Its been a very busy week, and the country girl went to the city. The weather was gorgeous and we arrived late morning the hotel was great just what we wanted, small friendly and fairly reasonable for London as well as being in a brilliant area within walking distance of Chelsea, Plimlico and Knightsbridge. Great pub just over the road, wonderful lunchs and meals in the sunshine,</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">now a long time ago this is where Cath Kidston had her first shop selling vintage fabrics and lovely old china and vintage finds how things have changed, there is also a great restaurant Julies (meant to be the most romantic in London) where we had lunch, lovely area but I had a plan I also wanted to see Rachel Ashwells shop Shabby Chic Interiors, they were kind enough to let me take some photos so hope you like them (I didn't have my proper camera with me too heavy to carry) so this is just done on a normal small camera.</span><br />
