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.

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.

Particularly pleased with the

Looking forward to our next fayre
