Somerton(Ancient Royal Town of Wessex) is a lovely little market town in Somerset. It has character and some very nice architecture.
Luckily for me, it is only just over half an hour away from where I live.
Today the Buttercross Vintage Market was being held in Somerton. The perfect excuse for me to pop over there to have a look and do a spot of shopping!
I didn't get around to photographing all the stalls but here is a taster!
Liz (The Washerwoman) and her husband Jack
I really wanted to come back home with that yellow vintage cabinet but sadly no room for it at home

Vintage Jane
I bought some map/stamps greeting cards from Jane. I am always drawn to maps and stamps and like making collages with them. I couldn't resist getting a couple of her cards.

I very much enjoyed the Buttercross Vintage Market, the selection was varied and many stalls were reasonably priced. I found quite a few things for home. A successful shopping trip!
I look forward to the next fair which will be on SATURDAY 8TH SEPTEMBER 2012.

60s / 70s textiles, a couple of cushions, greeting cards, vintage paper lanterns, vintage wallpaper
FAB COLOURS!
Back home now and time to continue with some decluttering. I took 3 bags full of things and a big box to a charity shop this morning. It's a satisfying job to clear out things that you no longer need but being a collector and a hoarder there is plenty more to go through.
