The Sun Has Got its Hat On

The sun's so bright in my craft room today that I can barely see the laptop screen. I think I'll carry on being blinded as it seems terrible to be shutting the blinds on probably the last bit of sun we're going to get. I hope everybody's having a lovely weekend! I'm off to my mum's later for a rummage in the loft (checking what I have up there for the Bicycle Bazaar in a couple of weeks) followed by a roast dinner. Yum Yum.

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

  3. They look so lovely grouped together that way. I'd definately be making a beeline for your stall if I was going.

  4. 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

  5. The 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?
