The threat of snow didn’t put me off from motoring down to Chipping Sodbury to attend the Vintage and Homemade Fair. My first visit. It was wonderful. I met up with Mr and Mrs Bun from Abuncandance, and another lovely friend from Bristol. The Town Hall was warm, bright and packed to the rafters with beautiful things and talented people. It was a splendid day. I especially loved meeting fellow bloggers face-to-face which also felt somehow strange. I feel I already know them from their posts and then there they are standing before me and I am only just discovering their names. I didn’t take any photos because I was too busy buying! But there are photos from Mrs Treasure and more about the Fair over at Textile Treasure Seeker, (I love the jug I bought at her stall).
Mr Bun guarded the cakes and tea at the Fair for us (a most lovely and useful man)!
We went back for lunch to our friend, Mrs C’s home and what had been passed off as a bit of bread and soup was in fact the most delicious feast!
Oh, how wonderful all the food looks! Yum!
ReplyDeleteIt would be a bit strange to meet bloggers -- put real names to faces. Sometimes the image we have in our minds isn't quite accurate! :-)
It was indeed a most lovely day and I'm still living on the joy of it all :-)
ReplyDeletePlease do post photos of your purchases over here as I didn't get to see them all !!
Lots of love to you all, keep warm and cosy,

Hi Helen, so glad that you enjoyed your day at the fair. It was lovely to meet you too. I know just what you mean about meeting face to face for the first time. It was the same for me at the very first Vintage and Handmade Fair 2 years ago. Since then a lot of the people I have met through blogging and the fairs have become good friends who I love meeting up with on my travels. Have a good week. xxx
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a FUN day !!!
ReplyDeleteHello Helen! It was sooooo lovely to see you on Sunday, I was thrilled I finally got to meet you in person! Thank you for the lovely mention in your blog post and I'm glad you like your new blue jug (and that Darcy and Bingley approve!) Big hugs all round, Katie x
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely!!! I wish I could transport myself there..although that was a while ago. :-) Hugs to all of you.
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it..that tray looks so good, I will imagine I am having some of that delicious cake. :-) Well, Mommy is. Me, I don't eat cake.
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds like it was so much fun! And it had to be so cool to meet the other bloggers - we have met a couple and just loved it, even though it was only for a very short time. And boy, that food looks super tasty too!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm...that food looks so good!! Now we're hungry!!
ReplyDeleteMeeting bloggers is such fun - and I love your spread!
ReplyDeleteI always picture everyone completely different to how they really look, and am always surprised when I discover a photo of them on their blogs. I haven't ever met any fellow bloggers in real life, but would like maybe to visit the V&H fair one of these days. x
