Fab Fair Saturday!

Saturday's Rag & Rummage Sale in Taunton was another outstanding success

 for Lizzie & Clare with droves of people filling the Village Hall,

shouldering eachother out of the way (in the politest manner possible of course) 

in order to get nearer to the stalls heaped with all manner

of textile-themed goodies!

 We had a fab day; loads of things went off to new homes

(where they'll be far more appreciated than at the back of my stockroom)

and in between serving customers, trying to tidy the jumble that

our stalls had become, talking to interested buyers

and gratefully receiving the delivery of complimentary cuppas,

I had a chance for a catchup with Dairy House Sue & Woo

whose Textile Day on the 15th April is the next event on our must-go calendar.

Some lovely bloggers introduced themselves and its great

to put faces to names- I'm just sorry I wasn't able to chat

properly (or even recall who you all are doh!)

but I do remember Dee, Shelley, and Julie from KC's Court

who's running the first Vintage Fair in Minehead on 23rd June

so pop over to her blog for more details.

I took my camera but was busy from the minute we arrived

and the only time I remembered pics was 30 minutes before

the event ended, when the depleted stands looked a tad sorry

and most of the exhibitors were stuffing their faces

with cake and Twix bars (thank YOU, Wendy in the kitchen-

never was a sugar fix more gratefully received!)

Lizzie, Clare, Jack & George put in so much hard work

which is VERY much appreciated-

roll on the Autumn for a re-run of

The Vintage Bazaar Textile Rag & Rummage Sale at Trull!
