We came from the North, South and East and converged on the West. The West Midlands to be specific, courtesy of our lovely
Vix!
Our host was beautiful, warm and vivacious, just like on her blog. And people really do randomly talk to her. As we were crossing the road a lady shouted out, 'I love your trousers'.
 |
| The girls. I love this picmonkey poncho shot by Curtise of us all, which I have 'borrowed'. Permission is pending. Sorry Curtise, so cheeky of me :D |
Just like the three Kings, we came bearing gifts.
 |
| Alpine dishes for the wall from Clare and a picture from the 50p stall. Vix thinks it might be St Patrick. |
The other 'Kings' were
Clare, who is so sweet and friendly with a great eye for finding treasure and
Curtise who arrived late but brought bags of energy and fun to the proceedings.
 |
| Poinsettia dishes and neon bright gloves from Curtise. Bavarian kissing couple bottle stopper from Vix. |
 |
| He man brooch from Clare |
The agenda read as follows:
1 coffee at the art gallery
2 mooch round the market, fighting off the competition to find cheap treasures at the 20p stall
 |
| The trim stall, and my rainbow buys |
3 meet Curtise and go for lunch
 |
| Crinoline lady bookend and Irish pixie from the 20p stall, kitsch book and baby doll nightie from naughty Vix! |
4 go to Second to None
 |
| Apron and silky top, love the prints |
 |
| June, the owner, Curtise, Clare, Vix in the Aladdin's cave which is Second to None. |
5 Have as much fun as possible doing all the aforementioned.
6 Try to stop talking long enough to take some pictures.
We stormed it!
Thank you so much to these lovely ladies for inviting me to join in the fun. I had a blast! I ended up with sore cheekbones from laughing so much. Always a good sign. xx

I was really hoping to meet you, and I can tell I'd have had a great day.
ReplyDeleteI must apologise for neglecting your blog. As I don#t have a laptop it is hard to do the more fiddly bits - like add blogs to my sidebar - and that's how I keep up. I will remedy that today!
Hopefully you'll make the next meet up too, and I will ensure I don't miss any more fun. It's a great way to meet like-minded people isn't it?
