Shame on me!

I can't believe it has been so long since I have written on here! So much has happened! I'll fill you in.....
Back in June of 2011 I was lucky enough to be introduced to a lovely lady in my village. She has two little boys, one is in the same class as my daughter and the other is the same age as my youngest. She has a mad passion for all things vintage, does up old furniture and sews beautiful vintage aprons....how come I had never met her before??!!

Anyway, since then Carrie and I have done a number of local vintage and craft fairs and then made the decision to launch our own event!
In January 2012 we began advertising our Shropshire Handmade and Vintage Fair. We have contacted lots of local businesses specialising in handmade items or flea market vintage goodies. We have hired a venue and hope to raise a lot of money from our raffle for little Blossom Burton who suffered a stroke as a result of the chicken pox virus at the age of 3. Please take a look at her fundraising page and help out if you can.
