The Spring Fair!

Well, last Friday came and went in a blur and I had no time to post any pictures of the lil' guys who came with me to the fair!  So, without further ado, may I introduce you to the ones that I managed to get photos of at the show, although I wish I had got my camera out earlier as some had been sold before I had the chance to take their photos!  Anyway, meet Sid, the Old Fox.  Sid is a wiley ol' devil, and never misses his cigar on a Friday.  Sid found a wonderful new home on Saturday with the lovely Claire, so we were very happy.

Violet, Doris and Emily had a wonderful time at the show... and were mostly well behaved!  Violet (my secret favourite) found a happy home with Niki and Doris went off with a lovely lady too.  Emily is still looking for a new home.  She is a little fickle, and tends to fall in love with someone new every week, but she is a sweet old soul with a very loving nature ;) 

This is Alfie, my little circus panda.  He loved to ride the circus elephant, but prefers to rest up on a less bumpy ride in his dotage.  Alfie also came home with us, tired and a little over emotional :0

And this is Margot.  Margot has joined the choir, and never misses her Tuesday morning choir practice!  I made her little dress out of a piece of vintage feed sack material, and she has a little vintage 'choir' badge on the right hand side of her dress which you cannot see from this picture.  Oh, and check out the scales... they were my little charity shop find last week... 1940s original Salter scales... I'm in love with them!

and the usual crew joined in as well!

I was rubbish at taking photos as I didn't really get the chance to leave my stall... but I did manage to get a few snaps of the immense gorgeousness that was all around me.

Jane kills me everytime.   The last show I bought my little dog on wheels from her, and this time... well.. I had to have the little red cart on wheels too.  She is a very naughty girl tempting me all the time, I don't know how I came home without the pram and the bear too!

Ahhh.  A wonderful day....

Hello to everyone I met on Saturday, some new and some familiar... it was great to see you all.   

If you are able to offer a home to any of my orphans that came home, please email us here where we can give you some more information on them.  Emily's adoption fee is £95 plus travel fare, Alfie's adoption fee is £135 plus travel fare and Margot's is £135.00 plus travel fare. 

This week I shall be hard at work replenishing stock as I have another show nearer to home coming up in two weeks time.

No rest for the wicked, eh?

Have a great week everyone xx

I'm jealous, I read about these weekend rendezvous and then think why we don't have anything like that. However it was fun to
virtual visit through your photos, they are great. BTW the red wagon was a good choice, I would have taken the pram also, next time

Hi Nicky,
Lovely to see you and so pleased that you had such a good day.
Violet is still hiding in her brown paper bag and I am not allowed to see her until tomorrow! Bless my hubby and you!
I have a photo of your stand that I can forward to you - it may show the chappies that you say sold at the start.

Good luck at your next fair...
Not sure if we shall make it to your studio this time, but we will work on it for a future date.
Have a great week,
Niki x

I was the Vintage Magpie fan who adopted Bertie for my (yet to be made into a) nursery and I couldn't be happier! My husband was even enthusastic about the pictures I bought too so that's a great compliment!!!

Lovely to see you again and although I won't be back in November (unless I am feeling particularly mad/energetic!), I hope to see you at another fair soon.

Your bears are just the sweetest little creatures. How lovely that they all went to wonderful homes. Had I been there, at least one of your lovely temptations would have flown home to California.

thanks for sharing,
