Devon delights!!


Today, Nich and I whizzed to Totnes, on the train.
It only takes ten minutes down the line and we were there in a flash...thankfully!
The train was packed and it was standing room only.
But oh my, it was well worth the journey!



Feast your eyes on this lot, bloggers!
I would suggest you get a cuppa and sit down very comfortably!
This might take some time!


This is Amanda's stall..and it gets better every time I visit!
But today, we were in for a real treat, as Amanda, her lovely mum...and Hesta (of Green Glamour fame!)... were all there to greet us!!
Along with...



Don't you just love him?
There was so much gorgeousness surrounding us!






I really didn't know which way to turn!
Well ,would you?








And as for Hesta's little table...just look at this beautiful little shoe!!



I do so love Totnes!

I am sure that, after savouring that lot, tonight I will have plenty of...





But that's not all!

I had a small spend! Well wouldn't you ? ;-)


I thought that this picture was so lovely..

As was this embroidery...
A couple of pretty tablecloths...
Some children's puzzle blocks, for my 'classroom'...
4 pretty hankies!

And a gorgeous little pinny from Hesta


And last but not least...


Well, I had to , didn't I?

But..I have not really finished as then we went off around the corner to see Lesley at..

This 'n That!!

It will be on my blog in a day or two ....as it's another longish 'photo loaded' post, full of more vintage delights...!

***

A good day? I should say so!

Oh and thanks Nich for being so very, very patient!! ;-)

(You deserve a medal!)

;-)

    Just found your blog! Brought back many many memories. We always went to Totnes at Easter, always very early just to get a parking space! Lovely market, always spent more than intended to!
    My parents lived at Dittisham pre 2001 so always went to Totnes whenever we could.
