Hebden Bridge Vintage Fair..

Hebden Fair has a great feel to it with a good selection of clothing and homewares despite the snugness of the venue (Holme Street Arts Centre below). There's also always an excellent pop up cafe with delicious, cheap food. The next one is at the end of May but I won't be there sadly as I'm kicking up my heels at a wedding that day. But go along anyway if you are free, West Yorkshire is lovely in Spring...

Dog and a jug...

Bit of a literal title there....not functioning quite at normal speed yet post Christmas...It's a bit grey in the shadow of the Pennines at this time of year so I'm making the most of it ith a bit of Mono. This nice 60's jug was a wedding present and the nice dog was a present to myself.

What's cookin'?

I have a new obsession with brightly coloured enameled cooking pots, the red one has a steamer on top so I do all my veg in there. I bought a new enameled teapot  at the Hebden Bridge Vintage fair on Saturday 12th Sept. It was a really good event with varied stalls and lovely cheap veggie food. If another one is coming up I'll keep you posted. I'm also going to start Victoria's Vintage Wardrobe at my next fair on the 2nd October at Victoria Baths in Manchester as I now have about two thousand dresses and they won't all squeeze in my wardrobe so come along and have a look.

Woof woof

How do you like these little barkers? They're lovely big chalkware dogs. I love 'em. I hope they sell as a pair as they get on really well...

Time for drinks roulette...

You could have a great game with these shot glasses on a rotating stand, as each glass is a different colour you wouldn't know what you were getting.. Could be nice could be nasty...

Anyway I was meaning to say that it's time again
