The Local Antiques Fair.




This last weekend, our nearest town held its annual Antiques Fair. There are always wonderful things, and always at wonderful prices.



There are bits-n-pieces of all sorts,



some fabulous carpets (I loved this stripy one above),



and all the usual old pots-n-pans.

We didn't buy anything; in fact I didn't really see anything I coveted (other than the carpet).

Give me a good old 'Boot Sale' any day; from those I rarely come home empty-handed!

  1. My thoughts exactly Cro. Do they ever actually manage to sell anything at those inflated prices?

    1. We said exactly the same thing. I'm sure the majority of dealers returned home without a single sale!

  2. Still, I am sure it was worth a poke around if only for a decent stroll!

  3. Oh, the stuff is high priced...
    Had not thought of that. I was just thinking those pots and pans looked good.

  4. Dare I admit to never having been to a Boot sale Cro? The trouble is that there is nothing I actually want.
