In May Deans Court hosted 'A Talent For Textiles' and I spent the whole day pinching myself to make sure I wasn't about to wake up from a very lovely dream (and to remind myself that I was in fact at work).
A Talent For Textiles is organised by the lovely Linda Clift and Caroline Bushell and it is made up of stalls selling antique and vintage textiles, clothing, lace, accessories and costumes from a selection of the South West's best antique textile dealers.
I finally got to meet the lovely Liz of 'The Washerwoman' fame, discovered the beautiful world of Donna Flower and visited an all time favourite at Old Albion.
I could have bought the whole room, far too many beautiful things in one place.
If you would like to know more about A Talent For Textiles then visit Linda's blog here. For more Deans Court news then head on over to the Facebook, we update it reguarly and i'm sure some of you will want to see more from my colleague, Orlando the Goat.
Ohhh, that DOES look like a dream come to life!! I spy some achingly gorgeous gowns in that second-to-last photo; swoon! There's a big annual antique textile market not too far from us which I keep meaning to visit, although I am not sure that would be at all wise for my bank account ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, how breathtaking! What an incredible market and setting, i only wish there was something like this near to me
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help but laugh for at least a minute when seeing the last photo with the goat. Hihihi. So lovely.
ReplyDeleteKelly the event looks dreamy. You have stepped into a wonderland plus you get to work with a goat!! xx
ReplyDeleteAh such beauty! I'm drooling over the clothes rail, those amazing dresses.... how cute is that goat!
ReplyDeleteThis is heaven! Everything I could ever lust after. You get to see the best clothes and Orlando is a beauty! xxx

DeleteIt was a lovely afternoon, so many beautiful things in such a beautiful setting. love Dean's Court.
ReplyDeleteIt so was and me too! I feel so lucky to get to work there. xx
DeleteOoh, I know all those lovely ladies and will hopefully be catching up with them at the Frome Giant Rag Market on 29th June. Did you buy anything lovely ... you must show us! M x
ReplyDeleteAww I had a feeling that you might know them! They are all so lovely, I'm going to make the effort (and get my driving up to scratch) so I can travel a little further and go to more of their fairs. Then hopefully I will get to meet you too.
DeleteI didn't have as much money as I would have liked but I got a beautiful 1920's bed cap, some lovely ribbon and a couple of millinery flowers. I promise to share.
I hope you have a lovely time at Frome with the ladies. xxx
