Bank Holiday Bulletin

Have just realised I haven't blogged since our Vintage on the Farm event! It was a great day, the weather stayed fine (apart from the odd spot of drizzle), lots of lovely customers, some discovering Whetstone Pastures Farm for the first time, others pleasantly surprised to find a beautiful selection of vintage goodies on offer when they came to simply pick fruit!

We raised over £100 for Send a Cow which was brilliant. Thanks everybody for your support. Here is a little video montage of the day....

We were also entertained by SLUGs ukuleles and the Silver Threetles, Here's a clip of the fab 3 doing the fab 4!!

I'm looking forward to a relaxing August bank holiday weekend. Off to an auction tomorrow, car boot and dog show on Sunday (hoping Tallulah the pug wins a prize!), then off to see my friends in Lincolnshire who recently had a baby daughter. I have made her some personalised bunting....

Also hoping for a trip to the East Coast for ice cream, fish and chips and a paddle in the sea. I may take my latest acquisition, a vintage Brexton picnic case which I picked up at a car boot last weekend. Love it!

Get ready for exciting news in September.... A friend is opening a vintage and handmade shop in Francis Street, Leicester and I will be selling some of my goodies there! Watch this space.....
