every Sunday during Summer there is an antique market/ vintage sale going on not too far from us, in the little town of Aberfoyle. I was directed there by several people and finally we made it there. and oh what joy! such pretty display, friendly people, beautiful items, some rare finds and just a perfect atmosphere for a Sunday. I absolutely fell in love with that vintage jojo-quilt but it was out of my price range. but oh boy is that ever pretty? please don't tell me I should have gotten it...
I did take home some table cloths and aprons like you see on that red stand, and three little crochet items for a bargain: the little coasters with cute yellow flowers and the tiny squares attached into a pillow size square.
at the same time I finished a doily ~ oh yes, I am totally into them now ~ and all four went happily into the washer so I could block them. these are clearly the before-blocking pictures. stay tuned as I will reveal the blocking result soon!
in case you are in the neighbourhood and would like to check out the antique market in Aberfoyle, please have a look at their website for details.
Hi Maaike,
ReplyDeleteThat place looks so delightful. The photos are fabulous. Love the doily making. Liz xx
Dear Maaike,
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful market, and the quilt is fabulous! At least you can keep the picture, better than nothing....
Your doily looks so sweet, I think I'll try to make óne, too. Thanks for the inspiration!
Have a nice evening,
Karin
Thought you meant Aberfoyle in Scotland, not far from me! Lovely treasures.
