As promised, here's a few pics from the Vintage market last Sunday - I'm trying to be careful with the cash at the moment (after getting a tad carried away earlier in the year - damn you, Ebay!) so I was actually quite glad that I didn't see anything that made my heart flutter.
There was enough prettiness there to be a treat for the eyes though, my favourite stall was called Vintage Village, which has a permanent base at Lye Cross Farm Shop, Redhill in Somerset. I stupidly didn't ask the name of the lovely woman behind the stall, and I wish I'd taken a pic of her daughter too, who was wearing the most fabulous 70s jumpsuit ever - a totally vintage loving family! Here's a bit of eye candy from her stall...
some pretty patterns (none of them cotton, thank goodness - I only buy natural fibres!)...
some nice china bits and pieces, I was particularly taken with the green Staffordshire mugs...
this lovely little basket was in mint condition, and beautifully co-ordinated with the doll's dress...
and lastly, I am kicking myself for not buying this 7" just for its' sleeve - what was I thinking?!
I definitely took my economising too far there, and I just know that I'll end up vainly looking for it next month! Ah well, I just have to accept that I can't buy everything with a rainbow on it, even this little gem found on Etsy by the lovely Lou and included in her latest treasury....imagine playing a rainbow record on a rainbow record player!
Thanks for popping in.
