Vintage Fair

I had the most fantastic time on Sunday at the Vintage Fair in the Town Hall.  There were the most amazing people and lots and lots of wonderful vintage stuff!!! I will be doing another one in May and can't wait.
It doesn't look brilliant and certainly doesn't capture the atmosphere but this is my little table with some of my homemade things.

Clever Girl!

Aaaaaah look what my lovely 14 year old daughter Amellia has made in her textile class at school.  She designed it and its full of lavender and smells just divine, clever girl!

In the background is a doll I rescued from a flea market, I think she's really cute, but everyone else thinks she looks like 'Chucky'. I will make some nice clothes for her, when I get around to it.

I love vintage fabric,tablecloths and curtains......my particular favourite fabric is bark cloth, I just love it.  I love the texture and weight, it always feels so substantial.  I am slowly building my collection, hanging on a cupboard waiting to be used very soon are some lovely pieces.

(My photographs are not very good.......sorry!)

I have used some of the fabric to back one my crocheted lap blankets and am in the process of making another one.
