The wonderful newly built Nyland Manor will be hold their first Christmas Fair. It promises a beautiful array of locally made Christmas inspired crafts, gifts and vintage. I am so happy to have been asked to be a part of it!

Mulled Wine & Mince Pies available to purchase on Friday night, with festive songs from Cheddar Valley Voices. Vintage Tea Room open all day on Saturday.
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.

Treasures…
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.

In the past few weeks I have been incredibly busy with my new job, which I am loving. So unfortunately vintage hunting was put on the back burner but now have been getting back on track. I popped to Weston Hospice on Worle Highstreet on my lunch Thursday last week and what treats I found.

Today I made a quick visit to Cheddar carboot sale and spent all of £15 on some lovely pieces, in particular my new marble side table. One of my old managers at Dew Gibbons had the best taste and she had a beautiful table in the basement (she never wanted to sell it). I managed to find an almost exact replica but the top is real marble rather than imitation… happy days.
