Fabulous Vintage at Castle Douglas

Visited Lady Magpie & Me Vintage and Handmade fair at Castle Douglas yesterday.  It was wonderful!  Organised by Leah Halliday it has been voted best Arts & Crafts Market by Pretty Nostalgic (Issue 6 - you know - the one my lovely vintage china appeared in!).

 
Fabulous stalls.  I especially loved Just the Biscuit.  Spent ages looking at all the amazing vintage bits and pieces on display.
 
 
I bought this lovely little seaside charm from All At Sea - gorgeous jewellery inspired by the seaside.

 
How could I resist this pretty brooch by Catriona Archibald?  She had lovely buttons and other bits and pieces too.


 
We rounded off our visit by having a cuppa at Mrs Green's Tea Lounge.  Fabulous cakes - I loved the white chocolate and orange cake, Bestie had coffee and walnut - both were delicious!  Tea was served in vintage china, so that was just perfect for me, although I must curb the desire to turn cups over to see the maker - especially when they are full of tea!

 
It was a fabulous Fair and a great day out.  I'll tell you all about what else was happening in Castle Douglas tomorrow.

 
Hope you had a great weekend.

Love, Liz
