I hope that you have all had a good weekend. On Saturday afternoon I went to the Shepton Mallet Antiques Fair. Unfortunately, I left my camera behind :-( As I was wandering around looking at the different stands, I found myself drawn to a particular one. I liked the colours on show and the way it was all laid out. I started chatting with this very helpful lady from that stand. Further in to the conversation, I discovered that this helpful lady turned out to be Liz (The Washerwoman)! Although we have posted on each others blogs we had not met before. I found several items which I liked and bought (A green painted basket, green hat stand, lace & 2 pictures)
Tapestry fire screen bought from another stall.
The dark wood is going to get a coat of Farrow & Ball
paint.
The basket has found a new home
I love these sheer green 1950's curtains
The landing is still having decorative touches added here
and there but this is what it looks like so far. More pictures
to go up & other things too. Will show finished look in a future post.
I do like the landing, I find it quiet serene. Not an obvious place
in a house to want to sit down, read or have a quiet 5 minutes
but it works for me.
Recognize some things?
Cushions on the antique pine settle
A glimpse of some of the items to be found on the shelf
I had a very good Mother's day yesterday. Alan cooked a delicious roast whilst Phoebe and I played with a ball in one of the fields in front of the house. It's nice to be able to have the day off from cooking , housework etc. I hope all you Mothers out there had a good day too!
I recently had delivery of this very pretty
little rabbit named Maggie from The Vintage
Magpie's shop. She is so adorable!
Beautifully made.
Also last week, a parcel from Pretty Petals during
the week. I bought some old wallpaper cuttings
and 2 ballerina prints. Really lovely designs!
I framed one of the wallpaper cuttings as you
can see from the picture above (Blue floral)
This is also on the landing.
