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.

Vintage Shopping & Kitchens.....

The weekend dawns dark and damp at Cow & Ghost Towers. The usual Welsh summer! We're cheered by having a few shopping trips planned for the weekend. We've combined tips from friends and online finds into a buying weekend. Over the last few years we've restored and upcycled a lot of furniture. We particularly like this style of kitchen chair and stool. These are a typical "before"...

This is how they looked "after". They sold very quickly to a very happy lady. We're hoping to buy some more over the weekend, as we've seen some great retro fabrics we'd like to experiment with

We do like mid century kitchens.

On to our biggest project yet... We love it. Presently in the condition we bought it in. It's been repainted, but otherwise all original. We're happy to sell 'as is', but have plans to restore it. We can see the doors in red.

As with most things, it's time.

Vintage Fair - Ystradowen

A rare Saturday off for Cow and Ghost. Little jaunt to a National Trust property, but we also found a vintage fair. Lovely to go along as customers for a change.

Lovely selection of china and jewelry. 

Also cards and crafts.  

Topped off with a vintage style tea room.

There really was something for every one.

A great addition to this fair were the vintage ice cream van and caravan in the car park.

The ice cream van was exactly as I remember them from childhood.

We were rather smitten with Blodwyn the caravan. I've even gone as far as looking them up on Ebay!! Dreams aside, the lovely Blod was available to hire for occasions. Think that might be the summer holiday sorted.

Carmarthen Vintage

As usual, a really enjoyable day at the Vintage and Antiques Fair in St Peter's Hall, Carmarthen. Fantastic collection of items for sale. We were busy from the moment we opened. Met and chatted to lots of lovely people.

This great town centre location brings in devotees and passers by. Presently 2 events a year, we look forward to returning in February 2016.

Hard to capture the atmosphere of the day. It flies by. Wish we'd had more time to look around the other stalls. There were some lovely items. We did manage to sample some of the home made cake at the pop up cafe. Worth returning just for more. Derwen Fairs, who ran this event are returning to Carmarthen in just under a month. This time at the QE High School in Johnstown. Saturday August 1st, 2015.

Cow & Ghost will also be at 'The Vintage & Antiques Fayre' in Crickhowell's Clarence Hall on July 18th 2015. Always a great event. Hope to see you there.
