Big smiles today! ;-) ;-)
We've been to Ashburton...or Ashbucket as it is known in my house!
And we all know what that means, don't we?
Two of the loveliest people ,Sarah and her mum, run this shop and as we entered they were enthusing over thousands of vintage buttons!
But they still had the time to stop and natter..in fact I reckon that Sarah is one of the best natterers that I have met! ;-)
They're such fun people and that makes the whole experience more enjoyable...even Mr S looked like he was enjoying himself amidst all that was vintage, shabby and chic...and downright disgustingly gorgeous...(but he might not admit to it, naturally)!
Sarah and her mum absolutely love it if you want to 'snap away' to your heart's content.
And so, for all of you who live that bit too far away to visit this lovely shop ,here's your eye candy..and my there is plenty of it..ready?
Had enough?
Tough cos here's more...
And just a little more..
I think it's about time that Country Living paid a visit, don't you? ;-)
After that..well we had to rest, we were so worn out!
So we skipped over the road to the antiques and coffee shop.
I wonder..what is he doing behind these flowers?
I think it has something to do with an iphone!
But to be fair, I did look on the bottom of the bone china tea cup and he kindly said that he would note down the name, so that's what he's doing!
Whilst...
... I could not stop looking at my vintage and pretty 'finds'.
You didn't think that I would come home with nothing, did you?
What lovely photos, another shop to add to my list!

Hi Sal do you know I can feel the energy in your blogs I bet you never sit still do you? I have bought some stuff from This n' That by post - thank you for adding her shop tp your blog. I bought alan three lovely little ladies he was really pleased. I haven't posted for ages life is a little fraught here at the moment. Work is rubbish, the house isn't going anywhere at the mo. alan wants to retire!, my son is is bother!and worst of all my dearest friend in the world my Dad has been told his cancer is now aggressive. I am soldiering on you have to don't you and I still read all my favourite blogs to cheer me up - especially yours - we will get to Devbon again one day. I have been snapping my garden as well - I often get up early and sit in the sun or even the clouds! just to get the day ahead in perspective. Thank you so much for cheering me up all the time........
