... for the Vintage and Retro Fair on Sunday.
I've been making my duvet tea dresses and pricing up things and packing them (always a bit of a bore, these last two, aren't they?)
I had a last, happy little haul too - a small picnic basket, which I'm keeping, a hat box and a diary from 1941.
The diary is clear from the beginning of February (aren't they all!) but it begins with the thoughts of a new war-bride...
"Today I woke up a single girl and went to bed as a married woman"...
It's really sweet, sad too as "John" goes back to the war. It's a shame the lady hasn't put her name in it.
Your dresses are so pretty - I am sure they will sell very quickly. Isn't the diary amazing. I wonder what became of the war bride; maybe she has children and granchildren. What a lovely find. Lily. xxx
ReplyDeleteOh that diary sounds so poignant ... I hope John came back safely.
ReplyDeleteYour dresses are gorgeous, I hope you do very well. It's funny, I don't mind the pricing and packing on the way out ... it's when I have to pack everything back up again after a quiet, unsuccessful fair that I find a drag!
Looking forward to hearing all about it next time
