We stayed in Surrey this weekend with friends and visited the Old Fair of Abinger. It was a close to idyllic afternoon: the sun was shining (mainly) and we let Junior and friend roam around at will while the grown ups had a civilised time chatting, strolling around the many stalls, partaking of ye olde cream tea (yes, for once, dear readers, the flask stayed at home) and the occasional drop of "medieval mead", watching the children's races and tug of war and enjoying the thrills and spills of a jousting tournament.
Joy of joys, there was a bric a brac stall to visit. How about that for devotion to duty? This is what I got: Another coffee pot (£1) to add to the collection:
Just thought I'd show you some of my collection of coffee jugs - the Meakin ones:
Some rather groovy table mats (20p):
Lastly, these glass bird paperweight lovelies. £3 for the two but worth every penny don't you think. They are Wedgwood glass and I'm very pleased with them.
Hope y'all had a great weekend and are looking forward to the week ahead.
Hello, looks like you had a great stay in Surrey. Love the coffee pot. I am a great fan of them myself!

ReplyDeleteSounds like fun ! We went to our church fete but there was nothing as exciting as jousting. Your coffee pot was a great find to add to your collection.

Your coffee jugs are beautiful! I guess I haven't been paying attention as I don't remember seeing these before and suddenly I have noticed them in several places. But your collection is the best!
ReplyDeleteOmigod! I didn't think I'd ever be jealous of a teapot collection but your are just fabulous! I shall be on the hunt for something similar, and I love the glass birdies too, great finds!
