Daisy,Daisy!


Welcome to the Liverton Country Fair, where, if you were a bloke, it was a great day !! LOL!
Here, we have my dear other half and Barbara's (Barbara is Amanda's mum) other half , deep in conversation, concerning the use of pink plastic buckets in the home and whether rubber really is necessary in the kitchen!!!
;-)
Moving swiftly on, (although I will be returning to these two gentlemen at the end of this blog post).....

We've all had a great day but the real star of the show, today, was Daisy.

Daisy who?...ah , you might well ask!

Enter Daisy... Amanda's fabulous camper van!

Daisy provided the perfect backdrop for us as we displayed all of our vintage, retro, handmade and shabby 'chicness'...tons of it!
OMG if you could have seen Daisy in the flesh. you'd want one too!

Perfect!


I mean..I love my own car and Daisy seemed to get on well with him/her( and sadly, nameless!).... but look, it's just not the same really, is it? LOL!

I am completely in love with Daisy!
You may well want an 'Amanda' in your part of the country...but now you'll want a Daisy as well!
And here's Amanda, brewing up!


The day was perfect too ...cloudy at first but the weather got better and better.
If you look to the right of the hill you can see Haytor Rock, on Dartmoor!


Yes, we had our cream teas!


















And so finally...just what do you think these two are REALLY saying to each other ?

I do hope your Saturday was as nice as ours !

;-)

    What a beautiful backdrop to your fabulous stall... It looks gorgeous Sal.. and clever Amanda for providing not only a very stylish prop with Daisy.. but tea making facilities too! Perfick!

    I think Mr Snippets is saying to Mr Shabby Chick Snr..
    "I don't know about you.. but I find Marigolds give me a rash"....

    Well done both of you for such a stunning display.. hope you had lots of fun!

    What a fabulous camper van (my parents used to have one and I used to sleep in the roof part). Your stall is truly gorgeous and I wish I'd been there to browse amongst the temptations.

    Think we passed Daisy on the motorway yesterday!

    They were saying "Pink Buckets - it wasn't like that in my day"

    The displays are stunning and I want a Daisy too!!! I think the men folk are saying 'Now I know you've got yer Cath Kidston but I really am quite partial to a bit of Laura Ashley now an agin.'

    Hey Sal, im feeling the love coming through on those photos, what fantastic stalls! I bet you had a great day, although i dont know how you managed to part with all those lovely treasures!
    I think the gents are saying 'i dont know about you old boy but you cant beat a vintage striped deck chair and straw hat while watching the womenfolk work'!

    It looks like a fabulous day & Daisy is wonderful! My car (a Mini) has a name too - she is called Hilda.

    I bet Mr Snippets is saying "Any chance we can slip off to the beer tent without them noticing?"

    Looked like a great day out! x

    Our camper is called 'Harley' because all our friends turned 40 and bought a Harley Davidson motorbike but we got a camper van!

    The Fair looks lovely; wish I could have been there.

    Oh my goodness, your stall looks AMAZING. And the camper is such a great backdrop. Wish I lived closer to Devon so I could have visited.
    Glad you had a good day.

    Oh Sal, the photos are a feast for the eyes! Absolutely perfect in every way. So pleased you had a such a wonderful day.
    Are they discussing the merits of oven gloves, as opposed to the use of a tea towel???? ;-)

    How wonderful everything looked, and what can I say about sweet Daisy. A lovely name by the way ;~) she is a delight indeed for the eyes.


    I noticed some PJs are they Powell Craft, I bought Miss. Poppins a gorgeous 50s inspired pair on saturday from a delightful shop. I love them so much and can't wait for her to grow out of them so I can cut into the wonderful fabric :)

    Stop it! Stop it now with the loveliness overload, I am quite light headed with all those beautiful photos.
    Wowzers Trousers, your stall looks so pretty.
    I can only assume that your boys are saying the same as my other half does, something along the lines of..........."what a load of old bobbins!I just don't get it?"

    What a perfect day Sal, absolutely wonderful!
    Of course those two are pondering that eternal question:
    "Can you ever have too much pretty?"
    (Of course you can't)

    Argh....it is so good that it is making me homesick!!!!!
    We still do not have a name for our van (but have narrowed it down a lot) but I am going to name my car too so that she does not feel left out! x

    At last... I've been trying to read this post for days but it wouldn't open!! Looks like you had a great day, I love Daisy. My heart would've skipped a beat if I saw you both at a fete!!! I do fancy Totnes again soon, are you free next friday? Not sure if I can make it yet but if you're free I'll try my best. I love the spotty brush, I'm looking for a brush for my kitchen.... think that ones for me!!! I would love some foxgloves if you have any spare. :)

    'They don't make 'em like that anymore'.

    Oh my goodness I would love a Daisy. I could just envisage mine, such like yours, surrounded by collectibles and gardenalia at sales and fetes. I must put the idea forward to my other half for our retirement! What a great day you must have had selling your lovely wares and enjoying those cuppas made on the stove. x
