Friends, finds and fridges

 This week is half term, at last! Today the little jammers and I had a lovely catch up with friends at a play place. The littlies tore around like mad things whilst I caught up with my friend.
 A good friend, the kind that doesn't mind if you whip a bit of sewing out of your handbag!
 So whilst we nattered, drank coffee and nattered some more I finished off my vintage sheet coathangers.
 
I needed to restock after Bridport Vintage Fair last weekend. Lots of my new carrier bags went off to new homes full of vintage and handmade goodies. I can never predict what will sell but this time the best seller was coloured glass.
I was reasonably restrained on the buying front but I have a weakness for rusty old tins. Don't you?
I couldn't resist the colour of this one.
 The budgies will look great in the kitchen so had to come home too.
 Those of you who've been popping in here for a while will know I started the year with good intentions to photograph what was on top of my fridge each week.
Partly to keep it tidy and also to make sure I stocked up on flowers and bulbs from time to time. The fridge is a pink beast and sadly this is the last pink on the fridge shot...
Little pink has been replaced by the big cream brother. She can't complain she was only bought secondhand as a stop gap when we moved house and really we needed a freezer too. The world of Ebay introduced us to big cream last week and so little pink will pootle off with a courier tomorrow to a new home.

Vintage foraging and finds

Yesterday we dragged two reluctant little jammers around Shepton Mallet Antiques Fair. It ended up being a bit of a rush as it took an age to get them out of the house then one of them had to be back for a party in the afternoon. However I had a nice mooch but sadly purchased very little.
 Lots of lovely kitchen maids in all their pastel glory. After all your lovely comments about the 1940's kitchen the other day I dug out pictures of our old kitchen from my kitchenalia dealing days and began to wish we'd never moved! I'll pop them in a post sometime soon. 
 My favourite things to look at are always the toys and nursery things where I get all nostalgic.
 Emily Button came along and enjoyed trying out all the children's things for size.
Today I headed off by myself, much more speedily, to the car boot sale.
 
Some more affordable finds came home with me...
 as well as flowers for the fridge.
Enjoy your week
