The Homespun Fair, Portscatho.


T’was a month before Christmas,

The gals, Jane and Gertie,

Opened the doors of the hall

At ten thirty.



And in came the shoppers

Carrying baskets

Looking for gifts

Unique and fantastic!




The stalls they were brimming

With much vintage lushness

The shoppers were bustling

With a sort of ‘rushes’!



The music was festive,

Of the right flavour!

The goods on display

Were a feast, just to savour



There were stalls with pizzazz

And stalls with the glitz

Stalls with scarves

Stalls with mitts



Fine linens and cloths

Pretty embroidery

Bows, rings and bangles

Lovely jewellery!



Baubles and crackers

Vintage of course

Children’s toys and

An old rocking horse.




Puzzles and books

Dolls and stuffed toys

Something for girls

Something for boys



Christmas cards, calendars

Fabrics and quilts

Pieces of tartan

For making cute kilts!




Sewing boxes galore

Ribbons and beads

Everything for

The crafter’s needs





T’was the month before Christmas

This place full of fun

The fair…it’s name was

The Homespun!



For sure you can't beat

A good vintage fair

If there's one near you

Be sure to get there!



You'll find goodies galore

The high street it beats

And of course there are plenty

Of vintage treats!



So a big thanks must go

To Jane and to Gertie

For opening the doors

Prompt at ten thirty




AND a big ‘well done’ to

Gertie and Jane

We look forward to visiting

Portscatho, again.
