Torch Theatre Vintage Day.











Where to begin....

Brilliant day yesterday at the Torch Theatre in Milford Haven. Wonderful atmosphere. Vintage stalls, dancing, clothes, fashion show, film, cartoons, tea room. All beautifully done and so well attended. We met an avalanche of lovely people. The day flew by.





All set up in the small auditorium.
Hard to take photos, but the black background and spotlighting created a great setting.









Wonderful to see the detail that had gone into this event. The fashion show was brilliant, and so many customers had dressed for the occasion and looked amazing.




Just a few of the wonderful costumes people were wearing.













So hard to sum up this wonderful day.
We look forward to returning to future events.
We've reserved our pitch.

Chairs, chairs and more chairs............


We do love a bentwood kitchen chair at Cow & Ghost.
Have sold lots, restored in a variety of styles.
Not always easy to source.
Until this week !!!
I got 19 of them in a job lot deal :-)


Two journeys to collect and packing the car
was nothing short of an art form...


Opening windows in the conservatory also became quite tricky.
Friday 28th was the beginning. 




 Washing









and painting...






These are what we completed on day one.
Day 2 has dawned. Watch this space for
the next chapter........

Jolly holidays.


Sorry there hasn't been much on the blog for the last week or so.
Cow and Ghost have been on holiday.
Sadly coming to and end now.

We'll be back at it all next week.
Lots of new furniture to upcycle.
Two fayres booked for September.


Lovely sunny day in Hampton Court today.

No cows, but rumours of many ghosts......

Vintage tea Time



Cow & Ghost are having a great holiday
in Devon & Cornwall.
Lots of National Trust properties visited.
Today was a highlight.
The Rock Pool Cafe in Mousehole.

We saw it in a magazine over a year ago,
and have been determined to go.
Somewhere that IS as good as it looks. 





Warm welcome,
fantastic food
and bits of vintage loveliness
EVERYWHERE.

Chairs.



We're really pleased with these mid century metal tube framed chairs. Great shape and style. There is one on view at our unit in Paraphernalia, Market Street, Hay On Wye.

As of this morning lots of other new stock too.




We can confirm that not only do they look great, they are very comfortable too



Particularly on a sunny day. Crossing fingers for a few more of those before too long.

Another Happy Ending.


We bought this blanket on a stock shopping day last month. Couldn't resist posting a photo on social media. 5 minutes later we'd sold it. it never saw the shop or a fayre.....

Delivered yesterday. It replaces one that was sadly lost in a house move. It is identical to one that had belonged to the customer's Grandmother. 



Thrilled to receive this photograph of it in its new home. We're sure you'll agree it looks brilliant. 

We do love a Welsh wool waffle blanket.
