Vintage and Handmade Bliss!

As you all know (we may have mentioned it once or twice!) Victoria and I took ourselves up to Chipping Sodbury to visit the Vintage and Handmade Fair this weekend.

It was well worth the drive (in the gusting wind and driving rain!) and we both agreed we were very pleased we made the effort to go.
The village itself was lovely, very picturesque and well worth a little stroll round (we probably would have explored a bit more had the weather been better!)

The fair was really well organised and with 26 stands full of treasures.There was lots to drool over!
I could have bought the entire contents of Chipping Sodbury Town Hall but I restrained myself and bought these little gems of lovelyness!

A gorgeous Union Jack cushion with Cath Kidston fabric trim and a beautiful Union Jack pennant with vintage fabric and trims from the lovely Hen at Henhouse. (I had already spotted what I wanted from her preview post!)
The pretty heart was bought from Sal at Sal's Snippets, I just couldn't resist the lovely colours and pretty flower.


I love this patriotic magnet and these pretty floral magnetic pegs from Lucy Bloom. The vintage fabric dusters are from Shabby Chick, as are the gorgeous vintage baubles in the following picture (perfect for my pink, bedroom tree)
The 'Home Sweet Home' card is from the talented Claire at Elfie and Me I just couldn't leave it behind!


I picked up these cool vintage Christmas bits too! The vintage wrapping paper and Christmas badges were from Acorn and Will . The vintage building block has a 'K' on it so obviously I had to bring it home! I bought it, with the Noddy badges from Michelle at Cowboys and Custard.
I'm afraid I cant remember who I got the vintage angel tree ornaments or the Noddy print from, If I bought it from you please tell me!!!


The vintage hair slide, bobby pins and toothbrush and gorgeous vintage Christmas cards are from International Quality Kitsch (I have developed a love of Vintage cards that started at the Rose Bowl in LA)


The visit was very inspiring, and we got to meet lots of fellow bloggers! I might even have a little crafting session myself today!

Lots of Love

Bathing My Soul!

A huge Thank You to the gorgeous LissyLou for passing this lovely award on to me. (some time ago now, sorry for the delay!)

There are two parts to this award.

1. To award those things and people in our lives that, quite literally, bathe our souls. Places, things or people that inspire you, or make you happy

Who or what do we immerse ourselves in that give us a lift and help us to manage the rest of our day. That cleanse refresh and do indeed bathe our souls

2. To award the people whose blogs I love.

So the things that make me happy, calm me and make me feel that little bit better are......

My family of course, I know I have mentioned before how close we are, so I don't need to again (erm but I just did!, you know what I mean!)

My best friend, who can calm me and motivate me in equal measure.

Venice – I love it, just being there makes me smile. It’s beauty never fails to take my breath away! (and it's home to a very special bloggy friend too!)

Blogging – I get so much pleasure from it, and have met some great people as a result!

Time on my own – as much as I love my friends and family I like to just be alone with my thoughts sometimes.

Crafting – I love actually producing something to be proud of

Singing in the car! Seriously, I wail to my heart's content imagining I don't sound like a drain and people would actually like to hear me (In fact, the opposite is true!)

I'm going to present this award to...

All of you!

I would love to read about what bathes all your souls, so feel free to take this award (but let me know if you post it because I will want to make sure I don't miss it!)

Hope you are all having a good weekend!

Victoria and I are at the Vintage and Handmade Fair today, can't wait to share our fun with you tomorrow!!

Lots of Love until then!!!!

All's Fair!

Very excited today! Victoria, Rose and I are off to the Country Living Christmas Fair

We are heading off bright and early (after taking the lovely Rianna to school!) We have the Lead for Rose so we can't loose her when she wanders off, Plenty of cash and our oyster cards at the ready!

We are hoping to bump into some of our bloggy friends there so if you see us please say hello!!

Also, Victoria and I are all set to head up (I think it’s more sideways actually!) to Bristol on Friday for the Vintage and Handmade Fair.

We only decided to go last week but I’m really looking forward to it! Will be nice to have a change of scenery, hopefully meet some bloggers and of course purchase some pretties!

I just love a spontaneous road trip (and staying in hotels!)

Lots of Love
