Honey I am home

I am home, after a lovely time out at Stamford Meadows Antiques Fair today.  Rain had been forecast for approximately 1pm today but it was here for about 9:30am, just gently spitting.  It stopped and then we had a wander outside before it started tipping down at which point we went into the tent.  There were lots of lovely displays today particularly French ware items.  My friend bought a very unusual pottery cat with a flat face which was a long ornament the body of which you could pop things like Elizabeth Shaw mints at Christmas.  She also bought two little bowls with a chicken relief border on.  Both will look super in her intended kitchen revamp in due course.  

There were simply lots and lots of pieces that I would have loved to have bought home.  However I am still downsizing.  Once I have it under control a little bit more then I might start buying carefully selected pieces every so often.  I am still wading through everything and am getting there ever so slowly.  It will happen given a bit more time.  I have been seeing a lot of individual furniture pieces just recently which I have been quite taken with.  However on a practical basis I have no room as yet.  It has however been a productive time as I am starting to sort out the style and sort of pieces I am interested in without jumping in and blowing a lot of money.  One day I will get an opportunity to collect a piece here and there.  

After the Fair we went out for Sunday lunch which was very nice.

Its a wet and moody autumn afternoon here and I am starting to get things together in readiness for the shock to my system tomorrow.  Grit the teefs Tricia (sorry BB I am using one of your expressions) and get stuck in and do what I always do.  I have now had my freedom for 14 months now time to get stuck in and reclaim my professional life. It will be doubly hard after the freedom - just the depth that varies.  Howver I am in a mixed way looking forward to it too.  

Off to potter again.

Catch you later.
