Vintage children's fabrics and novelties
Vintage floral fabrics
French antique fabrics
More florals (well you know me!)
Pretty rosey curtains from Amanda
Vintage kitchen shelf edging
Vintage French buttons, braids and magazines
And this lovely vintage French fabric box
and I couldn't resist this 1950's dress for myself
what better to go with it than these 2 pairs of 1950's shoes?
Pin It
The shoes came from a stall full of vintage hats, bags and shoes and the seller said that they belonged to the once Lady Mayoress of Weston Super Mare, who is now in her 90's. She had a fine wardrobe and one of the pairs of shoes I bought were unworn. Not a bad buy at £9 for the 2 pairs!!
I saw lots of lovely friends and stallholders there and got to meet the lovely Posy, and her lovely husband, at last. We found we were kindred spirits in all things fabric (but I knew that anyway). I wanted to give her a big hug as she was all teary due to having just dropped off her first born at University. It's like having your baby start school all over again, but worse, as this time you don't pick them up at the end of the day but leave them in their digs. I have to say I am glad that Jasmine is taking a gap. I don't think I am ready to let my baby go just yet.

Hi Donna - sorry to have missed you at Shepton - I normally go on the Saturday, but decided for once to try a Friday - blow the expense!! Think I picked up that French shelf edging, but the stall holder was nowhere to be found - that's the problem with the friday, all the dealers go off buying from each other!
Love the dress and shoes and such a bargain,

How do you find out about all these fairs??
