Fair at Swansea Waterfront Museum.





Fantastic day on Sunday at the 'Smock Vintage' Craft & Vintage Fair in Swansea. The Waterfront museum is a very impressive setting. Met some lovely people, and also caught up with some old friends. Look forward to returning to one of these events soon.

After.



The results of our day of painting.
Really pleased with how they've turned out.
Big plus being outside in the sun.
We're particularly pleased with the yellow chairs.
Fabric remnant bought in York last year is a 
PERFECT match for the paint.
Love it when things work out like that.






Before.....


Busy day at Cow & Ghost.
Some furniture to paint and upcycle.
These are the 'before' photos.
There will hopefully be 'After' photos
by the end of the day......
Watch this space....................

Tetbury Fair




Cow & Ghost had a wonderful day at the Vintage and Craft Fair in Tetbury yesterday. It would be easier to say what wasn't going on. The town was full of people and activities. Such a beautiful setting and the sun shone all day.
We were in the Old Goods Shed, which is an amazing venue. Lots of impressive stall displays. We met some lovely people and sold lots of things. Will have to go out stock hunting - like we need an excuse!!
Look forward to returning in the future.





So hard to catch the atmosphere of this brilliant day.
The photos don't do it justice.

Busy day




What a busy day...
Grand opening of new shop
 'Paraphernalia' in Hay On Wye today. 
Cow & Ghost have a unit there.
Despite the soggy day, 
great to see so many people.
Really looking forward to seeing this lovely shop grow and develop.
Thrilled also that the donations pots for free tea and coffee raised £85 for the victims of the earthquake in Nepal.
Thanks to everyone who was so generous.

Like buses........



We're always on the look out for bone china.
We like to have an interesting selection for sale at the fayres we do.
We also like to keep boosting the rental stock for parties and weddings.
We haven't had anything "new" for a while.
Treasure hunting today turned out to be VERY productive.
Like buses these gems all came at once.
Four lovely part sets, and some pretty odd pieces, which included four 
beautiful milk jugs.
All available for hire, so if you have any celebrations on the horizon
drop us a line.
