Vintage fabrics, buttons, threads &
all kinds of wonderful goodies to tempt!
I truly believe that you meet some of the loveliest people at these kind of fairs, us vintage lot are obsessed with what we love, make and design and we enjoy talking to other like minded people about all of the above. We seem to all be collectors of something and enjoy seeing what each other have purchased and each others delights are our own.
wonderful fabrics I thought I might faint!
of wild flowers on them. They had pots of tea and cafetiere of coffee along with some wonderful scones, jam and cream and a choice of several other cakes to tempt all.
gorgeous goodies. Mostly everybody had intermingled their stock so it really is a case of showing you pictures of the day and adding a list of exhibitors.
This September pop up fair was even bigger and better than the last
two in my opinion and they had extended all the exhibitors in to other outbuildings as well, which had not been done before... it was a truly fabulous and beautiful event.
just looked wonderful. There were lots of people coming and going in the 4 hours that I was there. Yes four hours. Firstly I went around and took photos and then I went buying, had my catch up with Sally and chatted to friends... peeking into each others bags to see what each other had bought. Bramble, Sarah's dog was there and there were other dogs there too with their owners all rubbing along together. The sun actually shone, which had not been forecast at all. I can not wait for the Christmas one later this year!
In each of the stables there were different goodies all displayed with great care and imagination. Inside the big barn it was set out like a shop with furniture, dressers and tables all dressed beautifully. There were fabrics,
The exhibitors were as follows. Sarah Moore. Michelle Essam of Found Country Antiques, Rebecca Hadnett of Simply Country, Sarah Kingston of
Goose Home & Garden, Jill Gibbons of Rosebud Decorative, Liz & Jack Van Hasslet of The Washerwoman & La Camonnette Bleue, Antoinette O'Sullivan of Seathrift Interiors, Julia Grant of Winters Moon, Jessica Raymont, Julia Jepps of Gazehound Vintage, Jane Scott of Primrose Lane, Pauline Kelsy of Brocante and Hector and Fox. I hope I have not left anyone out as this list, it was given to me and I am sure everyone would have been on there......
The work that goes into a vintage pop up fair like this at a family home
I will be doing a show and tell for you later in the week of the goodies that I bought there. I had a great day and found some wonderful bits and bobs indeed.
In fact I had a great weekend because on the Sunday there was the vintage market in Christchurch in Dorset ( about 3 miles away from where we live) and I went there and found the lovely Jenny of Tilly- D and she had two pieces of fabric that I had been searching for so they came home with me on the Sunday!!
Is this the same Sarah Moore who does the "Money for Nothing" weekday afternoon programme? Looks like you all had a lovely time

Hello Julie
ReplyDeleteYes it is the very same Sarah Moore, she has done three of these pop up fairs at her beautiful home in West Sussex and is hosting another in December for Christmas as well. Not to be missed!
It really was a magical time with lots of vintage goodies!

The littlest aspect of an embroidery style or pattern is genuinely a stitch. Just 1 type of stitch or various kind of stitches may be applied to create an embroidery pattern or design. An embroidery pattern or design is recreated by making use of a counting chart, or ironed about the fabric too as by drawing freehand. http://tbreviews.com/top-5-best-embroidery-machine-reviews-handpicked-to-give-you-the-best-experience/
