It's Vintage all the way for me

 

 It was sad that I didnt get to the Hodder Valley Country Show with the Doodly Birds.

But it was fantastic that I got to go to Vintage Village at Stockport

I bumped into blog friend Emma of OOOH BETTY

WWW.OOOHBETTY.BLOGSPOT.COM

and came away with this lovely table runner that Emma gave me as a gift.

The glass plate I got for a £1 of the people on the stall opposite and it is for my friend Gemma who collects this type of glassware.

 

 Hubby Philip had a great time he came away with a Daks Jacket for £27, some Daks trousers £20 and an Italian knitted tie for £6.  

Look at my St. Michael's twinset for £10, unworn still with the label attached.

You knew it was authentic as it was made in England.

I can hear you wondering about the button necklace.  Yes that was a purchase too.

I met the most wonderful young lady, MOYA and her mum who told me how she had lost her dad to leukemia and had suffered with cancer herself.

Her stall was a riot of colour and filled with beautiful headbands, jewellery, cards, bags and bows which she makes and gives her proceeds to a cancer charity.  So the necklace photographed with my twinset is from Moya and it came in this lovely hand decorated bag.  If you want to get in touch with Moya about her work you can email her at buttonfairies@gmail.com

She has a lovely saying on the back of her cards
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take  our breath away".

 

 I bought the cards for my sister in law for her birthday this week as she writes to people a lot and loves handmade ones.  I will give them to her in the pretty bag.

Stockport Vintage Village is a buzzing lively spot.  People get dressed up in lovely 50's, 60's 70's styles and there was a lively three piece band playing.  Here's a link for their events.

Bunting, Doodly Birds & Browsholme

 It was lovely to meet 18 year old entrepeneur Charlie Bolton again. Charlie was late setting up as he had been working at the hall until 2am at a wedding.  It is a beautiful venue for a celebration.

 And here is his stall all ready for the day ahead. Full of gorgeous handmade bath & body products that Charlie makes himself in his mum's utility room.

I also met up again with Cate owner of Catkin Jane handmade material things.

www.CatkinJane.co.uk

I always want to buy every solitary thing on Cate's stall it is so tempting.

Look at this fantastic cake by Champagne Cakes.  All their cakes are home baked using the finest quality local ingredients.

Blog friends Jo of www.jozartdesigns.blogspot.co.uk and Carol of www.carolcsstuff.blogspot.co.uk dropped by to see me, it was so exciting.  Jo brought me a little present she had made herself. (I will show it you on Wednesday on WOYWW posting) and Carol said that she can make me some acrylic stamps using my Doodly Bird designs.  Its something I've been thinking of doing for a while and I will be able to sell them in my webshop and at fairs.

  Have a look on Jo's blog she has got some great pictures of Browsholme Hall.

I really enjoyed my first time at Browsholme and have booked in again for the next event on Sunday 2nd September.  Thank you to Liz and Rebecca for making me welcome and to all the lovely traders who took time to come over and say hello.  I will write about them next time.

But I must just say that there was a fabulous Indian vegetarian stall on the other side of me and what lovely young men they were, bringing me cups of tea and making sure I was okay.  Think I will be taking some of their curries home with me in September.

Hope to see you there.
