The other week we visited the Old Rectory Sale, it was a lovely weekend and Margaret and Madeleine had done themselves proud with the way the had displayed everything.
It was going to be a lovely sunny weekend! Its like they order the sun every time…as they have been sooo lucky with the weather in the past (all except for the last sale! lots of rain! YUK!)
I got there especially early so I could take these pictures, before everything got touched…and what pretty flowers they had displayed everywhere.
These are my favourite pictures that I am showing you here….they have some wonderful clobber!….and quite a lot of it I recognised!!! from the Happy House! yes I am sad to say that I have actually bought my own items back from them before!
Its like its my very own little pawn palace!….I sell to them…then I think!…now what has happened to that!..and then at the next sale I say to myself “Oh I used to have one of those”! and then Maddie says “This was yours! and your buying it back”! Eek! I am getting worse as I am getting older! LOL!
I took my Mother-in-law with me too, as she is getting into bright colours…it was a great morning out…we all had such a lovely time.
….and what a wonderful display of chairs…oh I really do take my hat off to M and M, they work so hard in bringing us all these lovely items and vintage treasures – it is such a treat.
I just wish I’d of bought this lovely vintage dolls chair, as I want to make a rag doll soon and this would have been perfect!…Still perhaps I’ll have a go and make something like it myself! LOL! gosh soooo much to make and sooo little time!
PS..I have still not found my XXXL jumper yet!
(notice I have added another X on the XXXL!!)
Hmmm! I have eaten too much over this weekend! and I feel like a beached whale! LOL!
I’ll be back soon gals…
Love Happy x
Happy–I've been reading your blog for several years now, but never commented. With economic worries and grim job outlooks, your blog site is a place that I "save" for when I want to feel uplifted. The rectory sale looks like fun! I especially enjoyed seeing what you accomplished with your vintage camper. Keep up the good work, girl!Sue in Ohio, USAwww.brandnewday.typepad.com

Hi Happy, wanted you to know that little chair is most likely a pin cushion. If the seat lifts up it has room for thread underneath. I have one that is in hawaiian fabric and sort of collect pin cushions. Love your site. Visit me at http://www.drinkingpinkstars.blogspot.com. Deb
You take beautiful photographs! My eye caught a nice red and white enamel jug that would look perfect in my kitchen! The U.S. just doesn't have pretty enamelware – wish I was into this stuff 20+ years ago when I lived in Belgium!So . . . what did you purchase this time? I hope you'll post them!
What fun pictures! I would have loved to have been to that sale!

Thats the sort of sale I like! And like you I always worry that I might buy something I donated! I have a red egg basket just like the one fifth picture, I keep clay pots in mine.
