The Other Side Of The Stall.....

A rare day off at Cow & Ghost Towers. We decided to wander down West to Aberaeron and the neighbouring National Trust estate Llanercharon. Both the town and the property are high on our list of favourite places. Wonderful Christmas fayre in the outbuildings of the beautiful John Nash villa.

Really nice change to be on the other side of the stall. Wonderful selection of crafts, food and re purposed vintage items. We came away with several bags of goodies and a lot of inspiration.

Many rooms in the house decorated for the season in the style of the early 20th Century. Fascinating to walk around and get a taste of how things would have been 100 years ago.

We're already looking forward to returning next year.

Time for tea.....

We spent a happy hour at Cow & Ghost Towers washing some of our bone china this afternoon. Couldn't resist taking a photo, as the patterns look wonderful when they are collected together like this. We have lots more.......

The reason we have been up to our eyes in suds is we have organised a vintage themed tea room for a craft fayre we have arranged with our church. Please come along and say hello. Promises to be a good day.

Crickhowell Vintage Fayre

Brilliant day at the Antique & Vintage Fayre in Crickhowell, This was the Christmas event at this venue and a lovely way to end a series of great fayres this year.

Back here in April 2016 and can't wait. Always a wonderful range of quality stalls and a warm friendly atmosphere.

The event takes place at the Clarence Hall on Beaufort Street. The hall is light and airy and retains many lovely original features.

It's the perfect setting for vintage and antique items and adds to the warm and friendly atmosphere of these events.

Look forward to returning in 2016.

A few dates.

November has come around quickly. A busy month ahead for Cow & Ghost. Two fayres booked. Both events we've attended before and always well organised enjoyable days.

Hope to see you there.

Mumbles Fayre

Brilliant day on Saturday at the Vintage & Craft Fayre in Mumbles. As ever a huge thank you to Smock Vintage for organising. Looking forward to future events with them at the Waterfront Museum in Swansea.

As ever the Welsh wool blankets were very popular. We have more coming in this week and will be bringing to our next fayre in Crickhowell on November 7th. Please come along and say hello.

"At home with"

We've spent an enjoyable afternoon going through paperwork and sorting new stock. We like working in the garden office. Thought some of you might be interested to see our HQ. It's a lovely room to be in all year. We use it for paperwork, restoration and craft projects. It also houses the bone china we rent out.

Time for tea....

Our followers know how we love a bone china tea set at Cow & Ghost. We are also very partial to afternoon tea, particularly the cake part. Just a reminder that we have a huge range of bone china and glass stands available to rent for any occasion that may require them. Enough trios for 200 people. We also have some complete tea sets for sale. They are available online, and we try to take at least one to every fayre we do. The following photographs are a selection of what we have in stock at the moment.
