BOUQUETS!

   After the journeys, unpacking, displaying and standing straight all day, hoping to please the visitors, it was very rewarding to see the happy faces, bulging shopping bags and relaxed attitude of our visitors last Sunday when we held our Rag Market in Bradford on Avon.  I, myself, had wanted to create a slightly different atmosphere and had invited lots of amateurs and collectors to be the sellers with masses of bargains and lots of unusual 'lines'  They came up in trumps and were, I think, delighted to find how pleased their customers - and how knowledgeable - were, with their piles of goods.  Tea on the terrace became quite a party and many early friendships were re-kindled  and cemented. We broke up early and got the hall cleared in record time, so I and my helpers had a good day too!
We had  visitors who came specially from the States, two lots of serious big buyers interested in film costumes and historical reproductions of garments, decorators looking for specific things to complete ongoing jobs and they found lots, so they told me!   Well done everybody to put on such a splendid show.
Lots of nice 'comments' and messages from people have cheered me and our Talent for Textile teams to continue in the futureand we hope to see you on  Sat. Sept. 17th in the Mason's Hall.in Church Street, BoA.I shall continue my Blog while I jog my memory about France and its many delights, and am starting a new smaller business here at home in the Wine Vaults, as usual, now I can no longer travel with Derek to France as he is too frail and blind to enjoy long car journeys.  How I shall  miss it all!  but I have had the best!
