Fancy a...

good old rummage around?!


Yee Ha

Photo's!! My wonderfully organised sister {who manages not to let my children near her camera} managed to get a few photo's of the PriddyPriddy stall last weekend...

Ready?...

Well I managed to cram more stock than I ever thought possible into such a space, without it looking awful 
{well I don't think it looks awful}




My daughter and niece took along a selection of stock {echoes + ink on facebook}
which was really well receieved, they sold a few bits and had lots of interest in commissions!!

See that  yellow blanket ^^^
I was so disappointed that it sold, but not in the least bit surprised!

I wanted to sing the 'Yellow Rose of Texas' every time I looked at it!


Twsa a lovely little vintage coverlet...

^^^the chair came home with me, now that DID surprise me!
It's not got a label but is has a date of May 1938 stamped on it...again not a great disappointment as it is a comfy little thing

My first sale of the day were these rather lovely filing drawers...

^^^the glasses sold this time, but the sugar shaker is still here?
seriously if it doesn't sell in November it WILL be coming home to me permanently....


Somehow this blue cabinet didn't sell at £25
 but the very pretty Barret Ware tin did go...

and sadly {well not sadly but you know what I mean} the lovely Ercol chair sold...
Lolly isn't too happy with me as she had her eye on it


Oh my lovely, lovely recovered suitcase...I took it along to display on and it had SO much interest

Just a few more bits....





I think I should keep the next set of Vintage Jelly Molds I find as they're getting harder and harder to get hold of in good condition 
{or is that just in this area?}

more sugar tongs than you can shake a sugar cube at
{my favourites are the Lyons Tea house branded ones...how did they manage to sneak them out of the tea room?  Best not ask!}


How the light sparkles through crystal...casting rainbows all about!


and a few more...



I must stop picking up pretty tins and vinatge enamel, but I do lurve it so...


Despite the heat we had a great weekend, thank you to all who popped along for a natter 
Looking forward to doing it all again in November!!

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!}

In the Summer Time...

when the weather is fine...


Fill your basket with strawberries + cream, your bottles with home made lemonade (or a nice bubbly)
and head off into the sunset to picnic the days away!

Lovely Vintage Picnic Basket sprayed by Priddy Priddy in a sunny pillar box red
ready to go with two 'pop top' bottles

Perfect!

This will be coming along with us to...
