Sunny Saturday...

Sunny Saturday

Sunshine, it's a game changer isn't it?

I can literally feel my happy levels rising with the sun, to feel that sun on my face and the warm glow it gives when you close your eyes

Part of the positivity for 2017 is to list what I can on Etsy, clear the cupboards

If it's not seriously sentimental or seriously useful then it should be on the Etsy shop shelves

So with that in mind I've taken full advantage of the sunshine and managed to get lots of photos

They might not be the best or the ones I'm going to stick with but they have got a few more bits stocked!

That pretty sunflower set above ^^^ it literally just summed up my Saturday in a nutshell

Bright, sunny and happy

These pretty, naive little paintings, I've been keeping them in a little box for some time but I can't justify hiding them away, they deserve to be seen every day

But then I am a sucker for anything floral or botanical

If you can mix that floral love in with a little barge ware inspiration then if you're lucky you might end up with something like these gorgeous hand painted enamel trays

And vintage glass just comes into its own when the sun shines, the old cut glass catches the rays so prettily

However I am teasing a little as I've definitely saved my favourite till last

Colclough Vintage Fine Bone Porcelain 

*sigh*

Colclough made fine bone china accessible to the masses and boy did they do it in the prettiest of colours

A lovely little set of 4 trios, milk jug and sugar bowl

I still have quite a few boxes and cupboards to go through, it might take a while to get through them all, they are spread throughout the house!

Fingers crossed for lots more Sunny Saturdays

Vintage Fair Fun...

Priddy Priddy Vintage really did have all the fun at the Vintage Fair

{again}

3 days this time....I was a tad apprehensive before we left, but I needn't have worried as we had an absolute ball of a time!

So once again time to share a  few of my favourite photos...

Our stall was if I say so myself packed to the brim with lots of goodies and looking non too shabby

We stood out with a lovely selection of painted furniture

view from John Lewis cafe

It's always hard to pick my favourite on the day as I genuinely love everything I sell

but these little beauties have been to almost every show and finally sold this time around

The Vintage sugar shaker I wanted to keep also sold...yes I know that's the idea but darn it I had my eye on it!

I also put a couple of my favourite tins out, which not surprisingly didn't stay on the shelf for long

this beautiful bedspread is huge and all handmade...stunning

This lovely little bureau came home with us...if I had charged a £1 for every time someone said how lovely it was and opened/closed it I could have double the weekends takings...

it's all good though as one of my daughters, Lolly, has earmarked it for her study desk...

and I have a lovely Ercol chair to go with it 

{but shh I haven't told her that bit yet!}

that bread bin got about a bit!

*sigh*

I do love a Vintage Linen {or two}

perfect Christmas hampers

{I don't think we bought any baskets home again}

Vintage pressed glass; sturdy, functional and yet still so very pretty...

It was a fantastic Fair....3 days all heaving with people and every day different in terms of what was popular

Thank you to all, just over 100 of you, who stopped to buy a little something from us

to those who stopped by for a natter, too many to count

to my lovely neighbourly stallholders

and to MKHandmade & Vintage for once again putting on an amazing show!

2012 has been quite amazing for us

Lots of love from the girls

All the fun of the fair...

May 2012

We arrived late and stayed till the wee hours of Saturday morning to set up Priddy Priddys' stall - our stall looked like this at the time when everyone else had gone home,

 getting up again at 5am to return in time to finish the set up...

yawn!

We threw in a dose of Jubilation with our lovely flags and I have to say it was all worth it and we had a blast!

I do love a enamel bowl!

{or three or more...}

These Practical Householder magazines from the 50's & 60's had us chuckling...any advert that promises 'new & revolutionary' with carpets gets my attention!

Health and Safety would have a field day with some of the 'weekend projects' they have

If I say so myself we put on a super little stall

We took a HUGE selection of gorgeous wicker baskets, I have a bit of a thing for wicker baskets...I just can't walk past one and use them around the home.  Handy with kiddos, pack their toys into them and they can cart them to whichever room they're playing in

{and they look gorgeous too!}

Eco friendly and craftsy...
