thankyou Vintage at the Village Hall sellers- it was a FABULOUS day!
It was the sellers that made the 2nd
Vintage at the Village Hall fair
such an outstanding success!
Taking time and trouble to source such a varied selection
of beautiful and affordable vintage treasures,
displaying them so temptingly,
spending time chatting to buyers and browsers alike,
and promoting the fair with such energy and enthusiasm
over the past few months turned a sunny Monday in May
into a dream come true for the 600-plus Vintage Lovers
who came through the door!
Amongst the outside sellers were Jenny Jones
with THE most enchanting display of gardening wares
Irene from The Loft with painted furniture,
Colin and Joan's Garden Artefacts
Jeffinie and John from La Belle Maison
with fabulous French furniture and furnishings
Claire and Lindsey of Beau Frippery
with a treasure trove of vintage jewellery
and, resplendent in her new colours
proudly promoting the Vintage Tea Parties
Miss Dolly the 1950s caravan!
Inside were Linda Clift and Cecile at Elegance Maison
with a mixture of English and French textiles
Jo Ross at Hesta Nesta with the prettiest and plumpest
quilts and cushions
lovely Lizzy Drake, caught unawares setting up ;)
an exquisitely beautiful display from Lucy Bloom
Lizzie had come straight from the 3-day Shepton Mallet fair
and still had the energy to create a stunning stand!
Sophie and Kirsty at Fading Grace turned their cosy little corner
into a haven of girly gorgeousness
my Ted and Bunny stand was the usual mixture
of quirky finds all fighting for space
in an organised (ish) clutter!
Gill's Random handmade jewellery wasn't quite set-up
when I took this photo- sorry
Tracey from The Vintage Bothy does a display
like no-one else I know and has a
stunning eye for colour and design
Alex filled a last-minute cancellation and her pretty
stall looked really delightful.
Thanks to you all, lovely sellers!
(and thankyou to Donna for lending me some of the photos)

MISS DOLLY'S COMING to VINTAGE at the VILLAGE HALL!!
Miss Dolly has been undergoing a little facelift and we weren't sure
if she would be ready in time for Monday
I'm really happy to say that Anna is bringing her along
to promote the Vintage Tea Parties,
sell her gorgeous range of china tableware
and let you know that Miss Dolly is available to hire :))

Pamphill Dairy & Farm Shop
I just SO enjoyed organising the November fair in spite of all the hard work!
Being the inaugural event there were a few fraught moments (how many cakes to bake. . .how many flyers to print. . .how many people will come. . .will it snow???)
Preparations for the May fair are in full swing- Spring is such a pretty time and while the Village Hall certainly shone decked with bunting in the cold wintery sunshine, I can't wait to see how it looks with stallholders selling under the front canopy, leaves on the surrounding trees, and the countryside beyond bursting with beauty.
More people visited the Vintage Fair than any other event held at the hall causing a hiccup with parking, which is one problem I didn't forsee!
To ease the situation we're allowed to use the overflow car park in the adjoining Farm Shop, with easy access to the Hall.
Pamphill Dairy, Pamphill Parlour, The Little Blue Barn, Anousta Skin Products and Pamphill Butchers all sell within the farm shop complex and are well worth visiting while you're at the fair!

Kingston Lacy House and Gardens
Pamphill Parish Hall is just 5 minutes drive
from the beautiful National Trust Kingston Lacy House
Although the house is shut on Mondays,
the gardens, National Trust shop and restaurant
are all open and well worth a visit!
