Bridport, here we come!



Well I'm packed and ready for two days of activity in Bridport. First up is a new fair. The Bridport Vintage Fair is being held at St Mary's Church Hall on South St and promises lots of interesting stalls as well as homemade refreshments. Following that I'm back for the monthly Vintage Market down at The Old Albion.

As Mr Jam recuperates I've had a flurry of making in anticipation of the weekend. I even had the eldest Jammer stuffing lavender pillows this morning!


Take a peak at some of my stock I'll be taking...
Crates of Woods Ware Jasmine teasets and dinner services
All stacked and ready to go along with lots of freshly famed Ladybird pictures.
Yesterday I decided it was time to revamp some display shelves I'd bought (yes I really did pay money for them!).

Here they are yesterday evening...

And by this afternoon they'd had a couple of coats of Farrow & Ball Skylight and were ready to show off my wares!




Mr Jam's brother kindly picked up this cute little 'Pony Express' for me and he arrived today!
I have a bit of a thing for Mobos so the question is should he stay and join the family of three already stabled in the attic, or should I sell him? Hmmm, tricky one.
And finally, I've nearly finished a new children's quilt. Just 'done' the corners - my least favourite bit and now just need to sew on the 28 buttons and it's done! Excuse the rather dingy photo in my rather dingy living room.
It's made from a lovely vintage textured children's fabric with a pure wool backing. I think it's suitably spring like and might drag it along tomorrow if I get sewing now!
Keep that sun shining for Sunday, I've heard rumours of rain for heaven's sake!
