Puppies in Stockings!
This has to be the cutest ever Vintage Escapades poster! Puppies in knitted stockings; could there be anything nicer? (Well, yes, kittens in mittens are always welcome). This month sellers will be going all out to kick start your Christmas shopping with their gorgeous handmade and vintage wares. From 10am-4pm, this Sunday the 4th November at Woore Victory Hall, Cheshire. See you there!
Aah….little lavender puss has purred his way onto the Folksy front page today! Good on him!
Two events this weekend. Count ’em! Two! Vintage loveliness at Antiquity Vintage at the Anstice Club at Madeley, Telford this Saturday, 4th August, 10am-4pm and and vintage and crafty thrills to be had at Woore Victory Hall on Sunday, 10am-4pm. This month we have a garden party theme, for which I may have to find a hat. I’m looking forward to both, but worrying what I might miss Olympic-wise on the telly. I have to accept that I can’t just stay home for the duration of the Games, and must go out to try and earn a crust. So see you there! (If you have one of those portable tellies, please bring it along.)
Regardless of what the weather might be doing, I can assure you that the market will go on! This Saturday, the 14th July, Made in Shropshire is holding its monthly arts and crafts market (with a little bit of gourmet food thrown in for good measure) in the Square in Shrewsbury town centre. Do come along…I have some pretty new bags and purses, more spiffing animals from my vintage zoo, lots of lovely lavender filled goodies and plenty of squashy cushions, perfect to brighten up your home this summer. See you there! 9am-5pm (though I haven’t usually finished setting up before 9.30 or 10….as I’m very busy drinking my morning latte(s).
Don’t forget to come to Woore Victory Hall tomorrow, Sunday the 1st July! It’s vintage and crafty time again! 10am -4pm. I wrote last month that there was going to be a dog show. I got that wrong and in fact it’s THIS month. So all the training that Foxy and I did was in vain. But, nevertheless, the discipline was good for us both. In fact Foxy found a new home that day and went off to Liverpool with his new owner, Claire from the Landbaby shop at the Bluecoats. Since when he has been joined by six of his siblings….catch them there along with some lovely lavender puppies! Claire has a beautiful website – it’s well worth a visit – http://www.landbaby.co.uk
Anyway, hope to see you tomorrow! I have some lovely new things…with some goodies in a sweet new ponies fabric, a Wish You Were Here cushion, new owls, more vintage zoo animals….and of course a new fox!
I’m at Bus Stop Vintage, this Saturday, 16th June, St Mary’s Church, Shrewsbury town centre, opposite Vinegar Hill! Do come. It’s from 10am-4pm. Loads of goodies! And then the fun vintage fair at the Anstice Memorial Club, Madeley, Telford on Sunday, again 10am-4pm. Hope to see you at one or the other…or both!
Fleecy the Fox
It’s come around so quickly. This Sunday I’m back at Woore Victory Hall in Cheshire for Lexy’s Vintage and Handmade Fair. A grand Jubilee affair this month, with extra treats….the splendid tearoom, of course, lots of lovely vintage, some amazing crafty sellers plus a vintage ice cream van! And, hotly anticipated, there’s only a DOG SHOW! For cutest dog my money is on Teddy the puppy, a regular attendee of Lexy’s vintage fair, who without fail causes grown men and women to swoon over his immeasurably charming fluffy features. I’m thinking of entering foxy here….We’ve been training all week and are feeling confident in both agility and obedience. See how we get on, this Sunday 10am-4pm!
I’m back in Ludlow, for the first time this year, tomorrow, Saturday 7th April….the weather is going to be ok, so why not come and have a look around the lovely handmade craft stalls in the market square? We’re there from 9am-5pm. Lots of lovely new goodies, toys, buntings, Easter bunnies, cute purses and bags! I’m working on it right now….Or at least when I leave the computer alone and get back to my sewing machine. And Happy Easter, by the way!
Just a reminder to come and see the marvellous Antiquity Christmas Vintage Fair this Sunday, the 18th December! I’ll be there! It’s from 10am-4pm, Anstice Memorial Hall, Madeley, Telford. See you there for festive vintage fun!
I’m so pleased to have my little red lavender owl sitting amongst such lovely items in the ‘Inspirations’ section of the new, November issue of Handmade Living. He got sold actually, so time to replace him in the shop. In fact, time to start filling the shop for Christmas…
