Cousins from Scotland are visiting at the moment and so I thought I would take one daughter and her similarly aged cousin to the Village Vintage fair at Cuckfield!
Well they raced round in about half an hour and so I sent them off to visit the village as well!
But in the meantime I chatted, viewed and bought
I think I'd like someone to come into my home and stage it like this! And then other days I prefer retro or modern! I am a bit fickle like that....
This is what the girls took a fancy to
And here is Michele hiding from my camera! Just about the lovliest stall holder you could ever hope to meet!
She was laughing as ever though it may have been something to do with theliquid in her mug rain having stopped!
And do you want to see what I bought??
You do??
I am glad! I was going to show you anyway!
A couple of vintage trimmings - to decorate a purse or two!?
That's the whole haul. The Cath Kidson silk dress got away this time ...

Some green glass vases
A vintage linen tablecloth with applique
Yarn made from recycled fabric - silk, cotton and linen! Some knitting may be in the offing...
And a wicker basket - I prefer these to plastic boxes for my sewing projects
That's the whole haul. The Cath Kidson silk dress got away this time ...
Looks like a really lovely day.
ReplyDeleteand that basket is so gorgeous

What a lovely fair! I love what you've bought, especially the vases and the basket! You'll have to make yourself a red cloak so you can pretend to be RRH when you take your sewing into the garden *wink*
ReplyDeletePerfect day out I would say! Di x
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I had on of those vintage appliqué tablecloths, wonder where it is, and I love love lcve the green cubby cabinet! What a great village fair

ReplyDeleteWow so much eye candy! Love your finds. I especially love that first photo - those cups are such a great green!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your photos look so very... "sunday-market-in-the-sleepy-village-and-in-two-seconds-a-murder-will-be-committed-to-be-solved-by-Barnaby"-ish...
ReplyDeleteMarkets like this do exist outside movies *lol* Lovely!!
I like your embellishments for bags and the tablecloth is just great :-)
It seems that you spent a very entertaining time. I love that gorgeous tablecloth, and I probably would have bought the cabinet with the teacups.

ReplyDeleteOh I would love to poke around an outdoor market! So pretty
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun! I can just see all of you on the hunt and chatting about everything! So did the rain stop? We saw on the news that you have had quite enough....like us with the heat! Great haul....I collect green glass as well. We call it Depression glass.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to have events like this. I especially like the yarn and tablecloth.
ReplyDeleteI love all your goodies! I enjoy going to antique shops. There don't seem to be outdoor markets anywhere near me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place! I love those green tea cups! Hope you have a wonderful July! Have a GREAT day!
ReplyDeletesummerhugs, Kristin
