Vintage Jumble Sale

Don't forget, if you're anywhere near South Gloucestershire on Saturday, there's going to be a fab Vintage Jumble Sale -


It's at Rangeworthy Village Hall, BS37 7LZ.  The doors will open at 11am & close at 3.30pm.  I can't wait!!   I've been sorting out stuff to take and have about 10 boxes so far!!  Things like this lovely old jug (slightly chipped!) -

and this lovely buttermilk yellow Johnson Bros Goldendawn ware - (again slightly chipped or minus lid) -


and two pretty little china posies (slightly chipped) -

And LOTS of other stuff!!
**************************

I've been painting quite a few pieces of old, dark furniture this week - like this old chest of drawers -


which now looks like this -

It has a useful mirror -

And this little table -

which now looks like this -


I painted the little legs on this footstool too -



They're now in my space in a 'nostalgic home decor' shop in Leominster, Herefordshire - put in after I sold some of these things already this week - not a bad start - I'm a bit tucked away at the back of the shop, but people seem to be finding me!  I need more shelving and more wall hooks -



*******************
And I treated myself to a bag from Accessorize - I walked past the window and it was love at first sight! -


and some wonderful blue-purple coloured anemones -

Not long 'til the weekend!

  1. The furniture looks wonderful painted, great for displaying things on. I hope you do well, the space you have looks so inviting.
    We are not planning another outdoor performance just yet, but I will suggest we head South for the next one as there seems to be lots of lovely things to buy where you are.
    Have a great weekend, Abby x

  10. All this painting put me in mind of the old saying, if it doesn't move, paint it. Once I get started with a paintbrush, I am much the same. I may start out with one particular project in mind, but then my eyes start roving....
    Love the bag, I would have fallen for it too! Good luck with the jumbley sale.

  22. How old would you say that dresser is? I have one JUST exactly like it (brown first then white) that belonged to my Dad when he was a boy in the 30s-40s. I love to look at your pictures!

  23. Hi,Heidi - I thought the dresser was from the 50s, but sounds like it might be from earlier if it's just like your dad's. Probably mid-30s - 40? Abby x
