Actually it was a 2 day Antiques Fair in our tiny town...my first since moving here last year
It's held over my fence which was all very handy but not great for my purse.
My first purchase on the first day was a remnant of a Victorian tea gown...I'm a sucker for rescuing antique fabric
It's quite hard to describe and even photograph but it is the bottom half of a dress with a silk organza swag all the way round , floaty rose printed organza and lace which has all turned ivory with age
It came in a large old cardboard box and when I took it out underneath was a unfinished satin gown
On the second day I made a cheeky offer on 2 silver topped perfume bottles which was accepted

What a lovely piece of lace. I just love old lace of any kind.
ReplyDeleteDoes it get any better than that. Beautiful finds, the lace is a real delight. Gorgeous garden and sunset, amazing views. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWow those lemons are something else. Amazing to be able to just pick them off the tree and presumably slice and pop them into a nice long drink to enjoy that fabulous view of yours.

I love old things too and of course your views are just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDainty and delightful are your fabric pieces. You have inspired me to make offers for items, the silver topped bottles are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLovely dress - so glad someone thought to save what was left of it. Love the succulents.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric of the dress. Your photos are gorgeous!

The fabrics are beautiful. Love the pictures you've posted- they're all wonderful! Your succulents look really perfect- I've just started one but it doesn't look like much right now. I like the bowl with the lemons!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Every time I see pictures of your beautiful home, I just sigh. It really is wonderful. :)
ReplyDeleteThat vintage piece is amazing! You really do find all the cool stuff. Thank you for joining in and sharing this fun post on Fresh-Cut Friday!

I bet the Victorian tea gown was truly something back in the day. Your photos are stunning! You are lucky to have lemons growing in your garden.
