A Good Rummage ...

It has been a busy few weeks.

Including another trip to gorgeous Somerset …

… to the Shepton Mallet Antiques Fair…

… to stock up ...

… be seduced by …

… and drool over …

… beautiful things.

Tables of treasure.

Heaps of scrummy linens, lace and trims …

… to rummage through.

Card boxes of teeny buttons ...

… to dive into.

Happy dance.

There was a beautiful display sheet …

… showing the sewing skills of a little school girl.

In the 1800’s.

Such exquisite stitching …

… so weeny and so perfect.

Would have loved to take this home …

… but with a £850 price tag …

… I put it back down.

Instead, got this sweet little fella ..

… 1930/40’s hand stitched teddy …

… with an enchanting smile …

… only 2” high.

Lovingly made for the apple of somebodys eye.

A sweet little pair of silhouette pictures.

A French 1926 journal …

… charmingly illustrated ...

… and some deliciously worn jewel boxes ...

… eagerly awaiting some sewn words.

All for the Duchy Vintage Party at the Bedruthan Hotel this weekend.
