The Glorious Cheddar Carboot

Cheddar carboot is hands down the best carboot I have ever been too, and probably ever will! Its on rain or shine all year round. Even on rainy days its still worth a visit as they have a huge in-door hanger as well as a massive outside space. I thought it was about time to share some of the goodies I have been finding over the past few weeks. Every Sunday I usually wake up and head out there for an hour or so (longer in summer as the whole field is full). The great thing is the things I am looking for means I do not need to be there at stupid o’clock.

What I would say is that I think its hard to find clothes / shoes. It is better in the summer when there is much more of a range of stall holders.

Success at the Bristol Vintage Fair!

 

 

 

Well Saturday was my best fair yet. Very busy all day, while still having lots of fun and meeting other stall holders. I sold so much of my stock I was worried I may run out by the end of the day!

I have decided to focus more on vintage homeware rather than cake stands and pin cushions. I have a good eye for spotting treasure where others may not…
