The Bath Brocante: June 2013
http://thebathbrocante.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Monday, 24 June 2013. June's Brocante - 15th June 2013. This select group of dealers including my kind neighbour who sold her delightfully painted mirror and selection of stylish kitchenalia from France and Scandinavia, created a very relaxed and convivial atmosphere for the customers, some regular and others new, who came throughout the day. A couple from Manchester who were in Bath for the weekend came and enjoyed reminiscing, recognising many items from her childhood on my stall! Brocante dates for 20...

The Bath Brocante: March 2012
http://thebathbrocante.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 21 March 2012. SPRING IS HERE AT LAST! I love all the spring flowers emerging and the sound of birds excited at the feeling of hope that spring brings. I even had forty winks with my pigs in the glorious sunshine yesterday! Things are hotting up for the three Brocantes this year on 12th May, 9th June and 14th July. Alice Park was looking stunning in the spring sunshine, and I could almost close my eyes and be transported to a pretty French town adorned with fabulous Brocante finds!

Wednesday, 13 March 2013. Spring is in the Air. I love that spring is in the air: the daffodils appearing, my youngest daughter busily digging her garden, as well as ours bless her! The thought of seaside foraging trips, picnics on balmy summer days, baskets filled with vintage melamine, sandwiches and cake, and of course nights spent under the stars in our beautiful bell tent, seem not so far away now. If there are any Brocantes dealers who would like to come and join this ever evolving and French style...

The Bath Brocante: Jazz and Boules at the Brocante - 11th May 2013

Thursday, 23 May 2013. Jazz and Boules at the Brocante - 11th May 2013. As ever I met interesting customers and had lovely chats with people and was thrilled to sell my glass paintings of two twinkling belles made from sweet wrappers during the war, to one of the boules players who collects them. Very serendipitous. I loved these very unusual fair ground decorations with their fibrant colours. One of Joanna Heptinstall's stunning and quirky lampshades greeted us on the street outside the entrance! It was...

The Bath Brocante: January 2013
http://thebathbrocante.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Monday, 28 January 2013. Musings on the New Year. Having just read Trixie of the "Vintage Bothy's" blog and been inspired by her thoughts of putting away the Christmas bling to make room for colourful new finds, I feel ready to approach my 'to do' list and to prepare for this year's Brocantes. Although looking out of my window at the snowy vista and the thought of my pigs hibernating, I can't imagine the sun drenched scenes at most of the Brocantes last year! To add to the French feel established at the ...

Monday, 6 February 2012. Vintage weekend in Bath, 28th/29th January 2012. Well it really was a vintage weekend, what with Mrs Stokes's fabulous secret tea party in the Bath Society Meeting Room on Saturday, where we were treated to the delights of being taught some jive and swing by Hoppin' Mad, [see Charleston and Cake film on www.secretteaparty.com. And utterly delicious and delectable cakes from Dolly's, surrounded by fabulously dressed friends and other women. There are some new stallholders on board...

In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London. Umbra Sumus ‘We are shadows.’ These are the words on the sundial here in Fournier St. Over the coming days, weeks, months and years. I am going to write every single day and tell you about life here in Spitalfields at the heart of London. How can I ever describe the exuberant richness and multiplicity of culture in this place to you? This is both my task and my delight. In the old play, let us t...
