And so it was...the cacophony continued throughout the day!

The street cries of Chipping Sodbury could be heard far and wide!

And they all followed the cries to the town hall.

And there they did gather.




For a feast of fabulous fabric, fashion and fun!

Thanks to...



Michele and Jayne!

for another wonderful...

' Original Vintage and Handmade Textile and Fashion Fair'





(And a little bit of thanks to Lionel Bart for the inspiration)

;-)

Do listen...to the real thing!!




There'll never be a day so sunny...that could not happen twice!

Wanna bet?!

  3. Forgive me for not singing along Sal... my voice is rather croaky today after all the chat of yesterday at the fair. Another classic from Mrs Snippets!
    Lovely to see you both again and your glorious display of fine fayre!

  4. I am rather partial to that hat -= could have worn it to my forthcoming wedding do - saved the money for my fascinator.

    I have just sent a hand sewing Singer to Africa - only been used about twice and kept in good condition. I hope some lady over there can make some kind of living using it, rather than it mouldering in my boxroom.

  9. Ooh, that was fun, Sal ... but it's all rather left me with a yearning for, dare I say, miniamlism and to be surrounded by taupe and beige!
    (Only joking!)
