Fun at the Jumble!

The Vintage Jumble Sale yesterday at Rangeworthy (organised by Jayne - http://www.countrycottagechic.co.uk/ and Michele - http://infocowboysandcustard.blogspot.com/ ) was great fun!  A fabulous atmosphere - and really busy, busy!!  And great cakes (Thanks, WI!)   Setting up -


It was great to meet other, fellow bloggers! (But no-one seemed to like having their photo taken!) There was some fab stuff to buy -








And maybe another one in  the Autumn?  Hope so - look forward to it!  Thanks again to Jayne and Michele!

**********************
And now today - having just replenished my space in the shop in Leominster (quite a few sales this, my first, week - hurrah!!), I'm trying to relax.  But I feel quite wired!!    Lovely and sunny in the garden, though, so I must try and sit down with a cuppa and ignore the weeds! -





Have a great week!

    Lucky you to be able to sit outside with your cuppa today - it's too cold here for that though in the conservatory in the sunshine it was good! Glad the Jumble Sale went well - I picked up a card about that at the Flea Market at Shepton Mallet last week but it is a bit far to go from here for me. Enjoy the rest of the weekend and many thanks for your kind comments on mine.

    So much stuff to buy... a bit overwhelming. And as the last commentor said, lovely for you to be able to sit out in the sun. Although it is making brief appearances, it is very chilly out there.

    Well done on all your sales at the jumble and at no. 14. It really does give you a buzz doesn't it when you have chosen something to sell and someone else likes it enough to buy it too. What did you buy at the jumble? Like the make overs in the last post especially the stool. I like the bag too. Good for you for treating yourself!

    I'm quite miffed about not getting there in the end. Jack had a party and it would have been a tight turnaround for us. Glad you had a successful time. Do hope there's another one!

    Dear Abby,

    It looks like a fabulous sale with temptations left, right and centre.... Haha, you are just like me... "What, who me? No, I hardly bought a thing..." when the man sighs and rolls his eyes...

    What a wonderfully sunny spot you have got there and good for you to make the most of it. I sometimes struggle to allow myself to stop and "smell the roses", but the English tradition of a "nice cuppa" certainly does help slow things down when they need slowing down... if that makes sense...?

    SO thrilled for you and your spot in the shop in Leominster. I would love to visit you there one day! With a very hectic schedule this spring, I am not sure when I might be able to, but it is on the wish list.

    Thank you for your - always - so kind and encouraging comments. Yes, what is it about those doors that make us love them so much, even if (or perhaps because) they are falling apart...

    Lots of love to you and a I wish you a sunny week with lots of "cuppas".
    Helena

    Hi Abby
    It was lovely to meet you and Mr VTT. Andy and I can finally relax after a hectic but fun weekend. The jumble was fabulous and what a great atmosphere, I think everyone enjoyed themselves. Hope you are going to do the next one. Have a lovely week.
    Jo xx
    PS. Andy is so thrilled with that lovely little book.
