The Joys of Spring

Lots of news. 
First up, a great day with a lovely friendly atmosphere at Memus & the Glens hall outside Kirriemuir, in the glens of Angus. Too busy to take pix, but here is a pic of my glamorous assistants, Rachel and Iona  Leslie, trying out some vintage jewellery for size. These girls go for quality in quantity! 
I bought lots of cake and some useful bits and pieces.
I was encouraged to meet young mums interested in sewing and looking for fabrics - I have two double wardrobes full of fabric, more than I can sew and wear or furnish a house with, so I'm more than happy to pass on some. Hazel, Sarah & co, I will have more, including some recycled vintage fabrics in pretty prints that are just right for summer dresses at the Plant Sale at Eassie Hall, at Balkeerie, just past Glamis. 
The following week is the Funk Fair, 12th May, in the Queen's Hotel, Dundee, a great venue which I love, for all sorts of reason, not least of which is ease of parking and unloading, as well as a very comfortable interior.
Next week again, on 19th May, in a new Dundee venue, Gin in Teacups has a vintage fashion & craft market in Chamber East, in Panmure Street. I think this used to be called 'Panmure Chambers' and is on the street that leads from Albert Square to Victoria Road, - but follow the post code DD1 1EP, to be sure.
 On Saturday 18th May, I am due to have a stall at an Antique and Vintage Fair in Banchory Town Hall. I don't have a poster for it, but I looked in at the April one and took a picture of Anne Marie Bain's Re-Store stall. It will be a task to pack up from Banchory, unpack and repacked for Dundee next day, because I have noticed the two areas have very different tastes.
That's a quick catch up. I'll post some pix as I unearth the goodies over the next few weeks.
Phewee!
