Having just arrived home from France, I wanted to share my "adventures" from the past 10 days.
First.. a long wet drive to Kent for the Fabulous
Decorative Living Fair at Eridge Park Needless to say we were a little apprehensive about the weather. Setting up was a struggle in the wind and the rain.......
However these stall holders were not to be put off by such minor details, and soon the stands were stocked and looking fantastic.
Theo & Bernice were opposite with their superb selection of Home & Garden goodies.
Apologies for not putting links or names to these photos, it was tricky taking any photos between the heavy rain showers.
Everywhere you looked, there were tempting treasures.
My stand (above) looking slightly less "colour-coordinated" than I had planned! As always I had far too much stock for the space.
Once the fair opened it was busy, busy, busy! Friendly wellie-booted customers were not put off by the weather and the atmosphere was great and continued to be like that right up until the end of the day...despite the fact that it was beginning to look a little like Glastonbury Festival by 4 o clock in the afternoon......
I will continue with my adventures tomorrow, in the meantime do put Thursday 24th May in your Vintage Diary as it is
The Avington Brocante in Hampshire, and I will be there with my French finds next week.

Tracey at Foxtail Lilly alerted me to your blog and I am very glad I've discovered it. Can't wait to read more about your French adventure.
Hi Liz
The Decorative fair looks gorgeous with lots of temptation. Looking forward to seeing you next week at Avington, let's hope for good weather.
