I heard about this fair at the last minute and conveniently my friend had invited me and some other girls out to her local pub for a meal on the Saturday, so I decided I would see if it wasn't too late to have a small stall there.
It wasn't, so I packed up my trusty, (got a new lease of life, revitalised with a new radiator!) Astra, with some handmade items, props, some vintage bikinis and cossies, and some vintage crockery.
It was going to be a gorgeous day, though overcast at first.
First obsticle, was putting up the gazebo, which is difficult on your own anyway, even more difficult without the instructions!
Fortunately, some lovely people, Pete, Mo and Dave (I think) came to help, but I could feel the tension as I was pretty useless we couldn't get the cover to fit, so realised the poles weren't put together properly, then I didn't have any pegs!
However, these people were not the kind to give up so persevered and eventually the stall started to take shape!
It was pretty basic, but people seemed to find it interesting, if not inclined to buy anything!
The fun day, had a comedian/ entertainment show, a band area with 3 great bands performing, some dancers, although I wan't close enough to see.
Dressage, a shetland pony, lots of other stalls, some inside and out.
Lots of families sat around having a great day with their picnics.
There were also classic cars to mooch around!
A fun day for all the family, I look forward to next year!
Some of the performers getting into character.
Music provided throughout the day from local bands, last band of the day, Plucky Purcell, great funky music, giving out free moustaches to anyone who danced! Unfortunately, Timsbury residents seemed a little shy, but still a great band to watch!
A gorgeous flower posy I bought as a present for one of the girls I was meeting later for her birthday.
