OK, it's not exactly Manhattan or the Paris skyline but nice all the same! As you can see, the weather was not exactly perfect for a wedding but nevertheless, I met some lovely people including my neighbouring stallholders. I sold a cake stand to the cafe too so if you call in for one of their delicious cakes, look out for the flowery one on the far left of the pic!

Later in the week, I made a more unusual sale. A local performer is planning a show all about tea and needed an old tea chest for a prop. I happened to have one! They are quite rare to get hold of these days and I was a little sad to see it go - but so pleased it's going on to stage stardom! Will put more details on here once I get them.........
The same day, I visited my new favourite shop - The Vintage Experience at South Wigston - with a few vintage items of clothing I thought Mel the owner might be interested in. I have been hanging on to them for a while but have got to spring clean my wardrobe, especially as I'll be moving house soon. Mel loved them and they're now on display in store with two of my coats - a beautiful wool and cashmere camel coat and a vintage 1960s Burberrys coat. My beautiful chocolate brown faux fur jacket - which I was reluctant to sell but was just too big for me..... - sold yesterday morning to a very satisfied customer!
While at the shop, I had to buy this gorgeous pin badge. It's made by a local 13 year old called Ella who makes beautiful things from felt, upcycled fabrics and hand printed labels. She obviously has a successful future in fashion ahead of her!
