Yesterday I was off to Manchester to the textile fair which was thoroughly enjoyable and very well attended.
Although on my own I managed to dash round buying before the fair got busy and am very pleased with the goodies I will add to the pile for this weekend's sales in Chipping Sodbury and London.
Love this somewhat faded straw hat which would sit happily on a hook when not on a head.
And these very typical French child's boots, in remarkably good condition..can just imagine them teamed with woollen socks and a cotton overall.
The clogs are even smaller..toddler size..compare them with the boots... and so beautifully made although not necessarily very comfortable
This is a real fresh apple green so I used it as a table runner with this bowl of cooking apples from our tree.
Neither Ken nor I can claim to be gardeners but we are feeling very pleased to have fabulous harvests of apples and pears despite our lack of work.
Finally this lovely display box for embroidery threads in great condition. I love these boxes and can even use them for threads, buttons etc but equally they are great for jewellery or stationary.
They'll be in the car on Saturday but if you'd like to buy just email for prices. Come and say hello if you come to either the Vintage & Handmade Textile Fair in Chipping Sodbury or the Textile Society's Fair in Chelsea..I'll be doing my best to display far too much in too little space.
