Back into antique fair hunting again. Swinderby was a bit disappointing the other week. Always at this time of year there are dealers missing with holidays etc. but it just wasn't quite as good. I did manage to buy a couple of piece of furniture but little else. Lincoln this week, which I hadn't been to for probably 18 months. Really enjoyed it and certainly will be going back again. It is so easy to collect, unlike Newark, and some good dealers. Bought a very pretty little side table/desk, will get painted for the shop next week. One or two more of ' spotty jugs' which go so well. A collection of small antlers which I can't get enough of. Some I will paint their bases. They do look stunning in groups of 3/5/7.
Had a blitz in the shop on Saturday. It was completely upside down and really didn't know where to start but looks brilliant again, Lots of lovely things. New bits of furniture and accessories I am gradually painting and putting in there.
Having a bit of a party this week so will enjoy playing with the tables and flowers, don't enjoy the cooking quite so much but its always different cooking for friends than everyday cooking so looking through my books for ideas.
Newark next week. Looking for some more French window mirrors, lamp bases and shades.
Returners workshops fully booked now but have some spaces for new students on the last two dates.
Had lovely feed back from the English Home feature, many thanks for all the messages.
