Liz's stall
Today I headed off to Ilminster (Somerset), I went to the Ilminster Vintage Textiles Fair. There, I saw some familiar friendly faces and had the pleasure of meeting Niki from Nostalgia at the Stone House for the first time. Although I have bought things from Niki's website on and off over the past 2 years and have exchanged comments via email & blog, we had had not met face to face up until today. Both Donna's & Liz's stalls were beautifully presented!
Basket of corsets
The one that got away.... I saw her on Liz's stall but made the mistake of deciding to look around first as she was the first thing I saw. When I went back to Liz's stall to buy her, she had gone! I was trying to be so good, you know... not buying the first thing you see in case you see something else... What was I thinking of in this case!?!

Really enjoyed the time I spent there. It was nice seeing some friendly faces and to see an array of such beautiful vintage fabrics, buttons, trims etc...
After the fair Alan & I drove to some villages nearby so that he could take some 3d photos to add to his Somerset 3d website. We finished off the outing with a late pub lunch.
A bientôt!
