Wetherby Antiques Fair - damp but rain didn't stop play!

I now know that Antiques Fairs are hard work but good fun and you meet lots of interesting people.

We had an outdoor pitch, on grass, 25'x25'.

We forgot to take the cover for the second gazebo, so entertained the rest of the field (still in their caravans, staying on site) at 6.00pm on Saturday morning, covering the frame with a tarpaulin, in heavy rain and moderate winds.

We sold well all day on Saturday, Sunday was much quieter, mainly due to grey skies and frequent rain.

We packed  at tea time, ready for the two hour drive home.

We unpacked the hire van at 7.00am this morning and returned it to Hallmark in Coleshill, cleaner than when we collected it, of course.

Lots more space in the factory now, but plenty of stock for the next venture.

The dust sheets and towels are on the line along with the rather elegant lengths of dark blue and dark green velvet, bought as table coverings.

I did buy a Royal Doulton "tapestry" tea service and 3 desert bowls, for £12, but only because I have Grandma's dinner service with no small plates.

Best sales, my wonderful, enormous silver plate Majestic Hotel tureen, Shelley jelly mold, both for £25,

Old washstand for £35!

Chicken finding a quiet corner to lay!

This is the scene the day after:

Does anyone on Earth want Chris's  Capo Di Monte?

I would put it by the gate but fear others would add more.
