Vintage and Handmade day out!

Well.......this was the beautiful morning that greeted us for our day out to Chipping Sodbury for the Vintage and Handmade Fair.......how excited were we!

Off we were on the motorway .........are we going the right way??

Yes we are.........we're here............ got there in no time at all........excitement over flowing. The weather was delightful, the place was delightful..........the fair was just fantastic!



It was such a strange feeling to see the people that I have spent time reading about their lives, homes, crafts etc ...........in real life!

and so very very nice to see just how beautiful and wonderfully creative these cherished crafts really are. My daughter and I were just overwhelmed by these little beauties. Nicky at The Vintage Magpie is such a sweet and very talented lady!

After all the excitement we just had to stop for a little vintage refreshment....... a lovely cup of tea in sweet china cups, an orange squash and some delicious cup cakes.......

Jessica enjoyed hers but I'm sure mine was the best ......lime and coconut.....mmmmmm yummy!

We had such a lovely time, made some great purchases, saw some lovely people, enjoyed the wonderfully friendly atmosphere, had lunch at a little cafe, had a pleasant walk around the town , then drove home with the sun still beaming , traffic not too busy.
All the way home, in time for a lovely cup of tea and to chat all about our great day out!
