Holiday - Day 3

Our week away is flying by.

Sissinghurst Castle Gardens today.

Home of Vita Sackville-West.

No photo could do this beautiful place justice.

It's like stepping into days gone by.

The National Trust at its

absolute best.

Holiday - Day 2

A visit to Rye where almost every other shop

is an Antique Shop.

Highlight though, was a visit to the 

National Trust's Lamb House.

Home of Henry James and later E F Benson

who used the house and town as Mallards and Tilling

in the Mapp and Lucia novels.

The view from Miss Mapp's very tall front door.

Much as James and Benson would have seen it

all those years ago.

Holiday - Day 1

Cow and Ghost are on holiday for a week.

A visit to the National Trust's Polesden Lacey

in Surrey today. Wow.

Couldn't resist sharing the plumbing!

The bathrooms were installed before The

Great War by the company who fitted out The Ritz.

Sadly the Ritz ripped theirs out in the 1970's, 

so these are rare survivors.

Pure style. We love and want the taps.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to you all from both of us at

Cow & Ghost Vintage.

Hope you have a lovely day

what ever you're doing.

Pasg Hapus.

Sunny Tenby

We're just home from a brilliant day

on the West Wales coast in the pretty 

and unique walled town of Tenby.

The Vintage and Craft Market

was hosted by Victoria Lander 

who runs a wonderful Vintage shop 

in the town called The Shed.

The event was held in a beautiful cobbled

courtyard called Brychan Yard.

Partly outside, and also in the outbuildings

that make up the yard.

We were lucky enough to pitch in the 

arched tunnel entrance with doves nesting over head.

They didn't seem to mind us.

Our pitch included this wonderful

disused doorway. Great and quirky way

of displaying things.

We did it in several different ways

through the day.

The beautiful cobbled courtyard.

Very hard to describe how lovely it is.

The sun shone for Easter weekend.

We met lovely people and had 

a wonderful and memorable day

Look forward to visiting

again soon.

Easter Baking.

A spot of baking in readiness for the Fayre tomorrow.

We're looking forward to setting up in Brychan Yard, Tenby

for The Shed's Vintage event.

Welsh Cakes are a great favourite, and perfect to

snack on as the day goes by

Lots of lovely sellers with lovely things.

Come along and say hello.

Who knows. If the tin happens to be open,

you may even get a Welsh Cake

Pretty Woman

Jewellery is quite a recent sideline for Cow & Ghost. 

We've been delighted with the items we've sourced and sold over the last few months. 

We discovered this gem just this week. 

In pastel colours it's perfect for Spring and Easter.

We'll be bringing it and other sparkly treasures along to The Shed in Brychan Yard, Tenby on Saturday April 4th.

Look forward to seeing you there.
