Last Saturday, Alan and I had to go to Hampshire. On our way back, we stopped in a village called Odiham which is within a mile of Fleet. We were recommended a pub which would be a nicer alternative to the Fleet services (M3 Motorway)
The Waterwitch Pub - Odiham
Inside the pub
The pub backs on to a canal
After a lovely lunch, we decided to have a walk around Odiham before heading back to Somerset. It felt very quiet for a Saturday, a few shops were open. There are several pretty houses throughout the village.
A much nicer way to break up the journey back home, it certainly beats Fleet Services...
I haven't had much time for thrifting of late, too busy re-decorating. Besides, we need to have some of the rooms finished before I can contemplate adding any more to them! Having said that, I recently popped in to my nearest town and couldn't resist going in to a couple of charity shops to have a look around. Needless to say, I came back with a few things.
I love the blue of this tea set
On Wednesday, I popped in to Wells and bought these beautiful glasses from The Laundry, a pretty boutique selling clothes, jewellery and other gifts. Unfortunately they don't have a website. You can find them at 58 High Street, Wells, Somerset.
They were just £9.95 for 6 glasses, there is a matching jug too which I may well get too!
Yes, a peek at the newly painted floorboards!
Wood panels on one of the walls, they need a third coat of paint and that will be it on the painting front. It's getting there....
Have a great weekend!
A bientôt!

Thanks for sharing you photos of Odiham what a charming place to visit! Love all your treasures and the painted floor and paneling. Good job! Warm wishes, Esther
You found some lovely things in Odingham and at the charity shop, Suzy!! Certainly you can find room for things you love!! I really lke that tea set and I think you should go back, quickly, to get the jug that matches those sweet glasses. How impressive it would be to serve iced tea to a group with this set!!!
The floors look fabulous!! Did you use a high gloss paint or did you coat them with a plastic sort of paint. They look so shiny!!

Oh wow I love that little village and its pub and houses. Beautiful pictures you took of them. Your thriftshop things look great too.
Could you please tell me how you get so many pictures in one batch on your blogger post. They only let me post 4 and that is so frustrating. I use Picasa, maybe I need something else?
Have a nice evening

Such a charming village and the pub is adorable! Your thrift shop finds were also lovely. I do wish I had more time this weekend to read through some of your archives. I saw the Agatha Christie post and was so pleased you got to Greenway. I really look forward to visiting there when we return to England. I also saw your trip when Thomas the tank engine came along on your daughter's birthday which made me smile as we did a similar trip but in the Blue Mountains.
Enjoy your weekend Isabelle. xx
Ohhhhh you are a very very good ambassadors för the blog-sphere.... I love your blog!

Lovely finds there,

You've a great taste Isabelle!

Looks far far better than a service station.
Love your thrifty finds.
This town looks like something out of a story book! It's so pretty and charming. I love seeing pictures of the area where you live near and would love to see this some day in person.
Beautiful Blog. I live in Hampshire - I will have to go there...
What lovely glasses - they need to get a websit. The village in Hampshire looks lovely. I love discovering places like that.
Those cups are such a pretty shade of blue, what a lovely find.

What a perfect way to spend an afternoon - a gorgeous village, lovely food and antique shops! Also, thank you for visiting Brabourne Farm and for your lovely comment. Leigh
A pretty village and a lovely country pub with the hops hanging from the beams.
I think those decorated glasses are lovely to look at and a bargain too.
Good luck with the painting , its looking good so far :-)
I love those glasses they are so pretty, I wonder if there is anywhere on line I could find them they are so pretty.

I’ve not heard of that place before, I will have to look it up and add it to my list of must visit.
You got some fab things…and the glasses are lovely, you have got to go back for the jug!!! :0)

Charming little towns and that pub was fun with all the hops( I think ?) hanging off the ceiling.Sweet little finds and crazy for the blue cups and tureen cover. Funny sometimes when I'm out thrifting I see something that I picture you would like. I usually buy it and think well it'll go in my vintage office aka diningroom
xo,
Carole.
Oooooo, you got yourself some lovely things!
