Aaahhhh! It's Christmas!


Hi everyone ... can't believe how busy we've been for the last couple of weeks! We managed to make plenty of Christmas goodies for the two fairs we were attending Friday and Saturday and also unwrapped loads of gorgeous vintage china, glass and trinkets from Amanda's garage. We certainly won't run out of vintage stock for the next few months!
Friday evening's Christmas Fair at Nether Stowey Village Hall was disappointing from the point of view of what we sold, but we did meet some lovely people selling very pretty things and caught up with one or two stall-holders who were booked into our fair the next day too!
Saturday dawned grey and wet and Amanda and I were away from home promptly at 8am! Steve and Matt followed a few minutes later and were absolute stars putting up the bunting and unloading the cars, as well as laying out the kitchen area ready for teas and coffees!
Steve dapped off to Taunton to drop Matt to work and we got busy putting up signage, laying out the tables and generally preparing everything. Our own two tables looked lovely by the time we'd finished, especially with the new battery-operated fairy lights!
From the time the doors opened at 12.00 we had a lovely steady stream of customers who were very kind in their comments and we sold lots of our Christmas goodies and absolute tons of our vintage wares! Lots of people will be enjoying afternoon tea from proper china cups & saucers now!
Steve and Steph were kept busy all afternoon serving tea, coffee and cakes - we simply couldn't have managed without them!
As the afternoon wound down we packed away and cleared up the hall feeling warm and happy after such a busy, busy time and looking forward to the next one in the Spring!
Time to chill with a nice glass of white now!
Look after each other!
