The Parrot and us.....

We thought we had experienced everything but no........ we had a parrot stall holder . a beautiful turquoise macaw spent the day with us ... unfortunately not everyone loves birds ... We imagined how long it would take us to repay the regency chandaliers if they became broken ... at that point we had to have the bird escorted out . An eventful day but a very good fair, some wonderful stands , well done everyone..

Ready for sunday

All ready to go. Bath was heaving with shoppers today so we are hoping for a good fair ....... such friendly staff at the assembly Rooms ... see you all there .

Getting ready for Bath Sunday Nov 21st

Its nearly time for our next Bath Fair with some wonderful stands . we have as usual a wide range of textiles and vintage . with clothes from the 19th century to the 80s ... so please do come along and enjoy the fair ... we open at 7.30 for trade and general opening at 9 ....... Assembly Rooms Bennet St Bath ...

On the way to lots of fairs.

I am doing a considerable amount of fairs as we go towards Christmas and then a really long gap with nothing ..... All the London fairs seem grouped together which is difficult to re stock for . so Sue and I are really trying to get our Bath Fairs spread out over a period of time , the first being in Jan 2011 , date to be confirmed .... It will probably be the first of the season .... so lets hope for a really good one . also if we bring quality goods to our fairs we will attract quality buyers , theres a lot of good buyinfg potential in the Bath area so dont just keep it all for London ,,,,

more super things from times.past

Photos of our Stroud Fair

Some of the beautiful textiles and clothes from the fair and our two front of house chaps,,,,, busy greeting people.........

Stroud fair

Despite a quiet fair regarding numbers through the door , we had a wonderful selling day . time after time it proves that quality rather than quantity is what we need . The fair had some superb things to buy and our early dealers snapped them up . I was really pleased to sell some very early fabrics.,, so a great fair and well done everyone for bringing excellent stock again ...on to Bath on the 21st november . how time flies.......Will be loading pics tomorrow... ....

Bath photos

Bath fair ..

We had I think a very busy fair on sunday some very good buying going on and as usual considerable buying between stall holders . We plan to do 2 to 3 next year but are finding missing the large number of fairs springing up everywhere difficult to avoid ,, so hopefully we can go through into our 5th year.The tea room was far better than the ballroom so we are going to book that instead now. This of course means we are restricted to numbers as yesterday we could have no more dealers in there as fire exits are difficult with the cafe nearby ... so keep supporting us and we will go through another year . Thanks to all those people who actively spread the word about the fair , word of mouth is the best advertising .

lots more goodies to see and buy tomorrow......

Bath fair tomorrow ........

Jim and i are off agin to Bath to walk the streets and deliver lots of leaflets to the residents of Bath ,,,, so hopefully with this wonderful weather we will have a good turn out , lots of fantastic stock to buy eveyone.
