Unless you have joined the Foreign Legion or been living in a bunker for the last four months you will have heard of the... dare I say it... Vintage & Handmade Fair.
Oh dear..I think I can hear your screams from here!
It has somewhat dominated my life since July and for the majority of the time.. very enjoyably so..other than the recurring dreams where.. the doors open to the public and I turn around to find my stock has vanished... someone has nicked it!! Not convinced there is much of a market for second- hand Cowboys & Custard merchandise!
My family and friends have all listened under sufferance to my endless neurosis about the event..
Can't take any more!
Can't take any more!without complaint or removal of hearing aids... I am most grateful ... but there is one person.. who I really feel deserves some recognition.. for their enduring patience and unconditional support..
my beloved man.
Man at Cath Kidston
Man at Cath KidstonI have a feeling I might be walking to the fair on Saturday when he sees this photo!
He has been such a rock to me .... chauffeuring me around all the various towns to put up posters, taking me to dingy dusty emporiums where I have scavenged for materials, listening to my constant drone about my aspirations, expectations and ruminations on the whole business of organising our first event..
He really should be in line for a knighthood.. a small tin medal at least.. but I fear he will have to make do with a bottle of pop and a kiss from me.
If for any reason you have just returned from the Foreign Legion for a weekend's leave.. then do please come along to our first Vintage & Handmade extravaganza.....
There will be lots of familiar and not so familiar and completely unknown faces there.. lots of talented ladies who have slaved over their art to come along and gather under one roof for what I hope is going to be a fantastic day.. a real meeting of the clan!
So.. hop on a bus, take a train.. hire a bike.. climb aboard your skateboard.. bring a friend on a tandem.. or .. drive your car.. to all the fun of the fair!!
Hope to see you Saturday 10. a.m - 4. p.m Rangeworthy Village Hall.. South Glos..!

Good luck Michele! It will be a marvellous success I'm sure. I'm so sorry I won't be able to make it - Wedding stuff takes priority I'm afraid. But I will be with you all in spirit and wishing you tons of luck. And I really do hope to be at the next one. Haven't sent my application off yet so I'm keeping my fingers crossed there are still some spaces. Have been mad busy trying to sell my wares on etsy and folksy. But I will get it in the post by the end of the week. So want to be at the next one! Have fun and sell lots. Oh and I love that picture! xxx
I so wish I could come, but have family committments.
If it goes well do you think there will be another one? If so I'd love to go to it or even have a stall.
Best of luck.
Best of luck for Saturday. Make sure you find time to enjoy it!
Oh I so wish I could join in, but I'm afraid you're just too far away!
Hope all goes really well

WELL DONE MR CUSTARD. My husband has suffered very little comparted to you I'm sure, but he may beg to differ! And now I just feel sick. Sick with excitement, sick with worry, sick at the thought of getting lost. But I'm so excited I could wet myself! See you there!xx
Poor Mr Custard - what have you done to him? Driven him to the brink of madness?
(Notice how I said "you" & not "we"??)
Hi there!What a good man you have,and such a dish too :)Did a mock up of my table today,so nearly there..... feels a bit like waiting for Christmas,what fun we will have!!Enjoy, all your hard work is done.See you there,love from Annie x
Lovely picture of your man! I wish you lots and lots of luck for Saturday. I can't wait to hear all about it from those involved!
I hope the Fair is a success for you and all involved. It would be so lovely to be there - but I'm afraid Australia is just too far to come!!!
Best Wishes to you.
Good luck, I'm sure it will be very successful. I love the picture of your cat... how cute!! :)
You are going to have an absolutely wonderful time tomorrow! I so wish I could be there, but simply don't have time to even turn around, let alone to write a blog post as my mum still can't walk and is now confined to a wheelchair if she wants to go out. Will be thinking of you all as I wheel her round Asda. Oh and good on yer Mr Custard!

Love the photo of your pussy cat.. mine are having a fine time jumping over all the boxes of stuff in the sitting room.. waiting to be loaded into the car later today....have to be careful I don't end up bringing one of them with me tomorrow as Boris does have a habit of leaping into the back of the car & snuggling down out of sight! Soooo looking forwrd to the big day! Lizzie xx
You deserve all the success you're going to get! t.xx(photoes, photoes we need therapy for all of us poor souls who can't be there!)
Wishing you lots of luck and hoping to see and read all about it next week.
I wish I could just hop on a jet and be there!
If Mr. Pickles ever needs a home, he is welcome to share a warm home with Miss Daisy.
Love and success to you,
Dana
