Hardly seems possible that six months of planning and waiting since the last Vintage & Handmade Fair in May, has been and gone in the blink of an eye... or so it feels.
Much has already been said about yesterday's event .. from the fabulous folk who braved the elements and queued in the rain patiently for our doors to open. The dedicated and professional stall holders, bloggers, friends and family..
I had a whale of a time.. meeting up with our ladies.. who travelled from all corners of the country to bring their finest wares to the fair.. and make it something special.. and certainly a day that many remember for all kinds of reasons.. but..mainly.. for the warmth and feel good factor that bind our team together.
Gratitude to all who made it a date that is etched in my diary as one very hard to beat.
Photos courtesy of Sal's camera.. Guess who forgot hers again!To see the day from start to finish.. in glorious technicolour.. please visit our webpage at Vintage & Handmade Fair Mr Country Cottage Chic.. took some great shots .. Every picture tells a story.
The countdown to the next fair on May 1st 2010.. has already begun !

What a lovely day it must have been. I just hope that one of these ... years, I will be in the UK at the time of one of your fairs, and will see the finery for myself. And take lots of it home to New York.
Well done on yet another successful fair, I didn't mind missing the CL fair on Thursday but gutted I couldn't make yours. I've been to both & yours is the best :) x
M...I can't thank you and Jayne enough for such a wonderful day. I spent the whole of Sunday smiling.
In every way the Fair was so special, meeting up with all our bloggy and stall holder friends, making and collecting for the fair, meeting and seeing lots of visitors and friends and just enjoying the very special atmosphere that you and Jayne have created. Oh and the Teas and cakes, such hard work but done with such style. Thank you so much and May seems such a long way off, but I know it will soon come around.. x
Hi there! You left a comment on my club blog (sewmakebelieve.wordpress.com). Me and my Sew Make Believe girls had a fanastic day and I know I definitely bought something from your stall (I went a little mad in the whole fair!!) - such lovely things you have/had!
Hope to see you again next time (I know that we will be back!). Kate x
A fab day was had by all...! Thank you for all of your hard work, Michele.
I am so glad that Old Custard and Old Snippets get along so well.
I did ask old Snippets how many men he counted to which he replied, '8 or 9'.
So I said,'You really did count?'
To which he replied, 'It gave me something to do!!'
LOL ;-)
It was my first visit but well worth the trip and I'm already getting excited about May's one next year!

It was lovely to meet you on Saturday, and see your lovely stall (and buy a little something, of course!). Well done for organizing the fair - it was a great event and I look forward to the next one!

Oh how I wish I could have been there. It looks welcoming, beautiful and as Menopausal Musing says, I just know I would have had an attack of the spendy wendies. I don't know, those wendies are terrible.
thank you again for a fab day.. the pics on the website are excellent.. love the one of the anxious shoppers waiting to get in!!! Lizzie x
I'm so pleased that it was a success. The stalls all look lovely and I really wish I had been able to get there. I'll certainly put the next one in my diary.
Dear Michele,
Judging by all the amazing posts and brilliant comments I think you could safely say that this most recent V & H fair was a resounding success. There are lots of wonderful blogs about it. ( I especially enjoyed Hen's and Isabelle's )
So really well done to you and Jayne, I expect you will be having a lovely cup of tea with your feet up recovering..........guffaw! We march on towards the Mid Winter celebrations getting ever more excited, I am like whirling dervish already!
Love Sarah x
Thank you so much Michele for organising such a wonderful event. You should be very proud . . .
Everyone I spoke to really enjoyed it, such a great atmosphere!
Can't wait until the next one!
I think I am missing out on something here! I am so glad the latest fair was another success for you Michele. x

Hello there,
I emailed you many weeks ago hoping to be able to be at the fair too but didn't chase it up as I thought you were probably fully booked.I would love to attend the next one in May - if I send you some photographs of my stall would you consider me???
Sal of SAL'S SNIPPETS is hopefully coming on Saturday to take photos too,so we should have something to show you!!It looked a wonderful day and I hope that everyone had a wonderful time!
Warm Wishes,
Cally x
