Here's a few pics of my trial run at setting up my stall. I think my table at home's much smaller than the one we'll get at the fair but it gave me some idea of what to take. Sorting through the stuff from my grandad's house, washing everything, setting up my pretend stall and then packing and pricing it all took me the entire day and now I'm pretty exhausted and have uncomfortable and horrid looking tonsils. I forget that with my Chronic Fatigue the key is to pace myself, but when I have things to do and a burst of energy I tend to use it all up in the fear it won't last very long.
I'll be taking along much more than I have in the pics, including two triple dressing table mirrors and some lovely embroidered linens. Also, I'm not at any kind of landmark in terms of followers or the amount of time I've been blogging, but I thougt it was high time I put together some goodies for a giveaway. I'm hoping to get myself organised within the next couple of weeks and once I've done so I will post about the giveaway x
It's looking great Amy, love the spotty china and your cake stands.

The polka dot is my fave!
ReplyDeleteAll looks rather lovely. Especially liking the spotty china - think I;ve some of that range that my Grandfather gave me - is yours Royal Vale??
ReplyDeleteThey look so lovely grouped together that way. I'd definately be making a beeline for your stall if I was going.
ReplyDeleteThe little deers are adorable, aren't they? xxx
Yes it's Royal Vale. I was torn as to whether to keep it but I've got quite a few tea sets and my current favourite is Colclough's Harlequin in any of the beautiful pastel shades x
ReplyDeleteThe stall looks lovely especially the spotty china, are you selling the cups and saucers seperately or as a complete set, and would you be willing to sell prior to the fair?
ReplyDeleteOnly just found you via your mum's blog ~ glad I did!

Your stall looks really good! In regards to making envelopes and sore fingers, do you use a knife and paper scorer? Easy peasy.
