Well now would you credit it?

I got an award!

How lovely is that? My very firstest ever! Thank you to the lovely Linda of Tabbyroo for nominating me for this:

As I am now, officially and undeniably a very stylish blogger indeed, you may know 7 stylish things about me:

1. I only ever wear flat shoes or boots. On the rare occasions I wear heels, I walk like Bambi on acid. 2. I never wear lipstick: my hair gets stuck to it, I bite my lips, it's not good. 3. I have a magpie attitude to jewellery and last week spent money that should have gone on my husband's birthday present on a pair of earrings from Etsy. In my defence, they are beautiful. No I don't know why he's married to me either. 4. I have over 20 scarves but only two bags. 5. If I could get away with wearing 40 denier tights all year round I would. Possibly the only person I know to actively embrace winter and it's tighty-goodness. 6. I have a thing about my outfits being made up of soft layers (3 today) but would put up with the itch of a proper tweed skirt just so that I could pretend to be Miss Marple for the day. 7. I have precisely 3 grey hairs on my head (according to the last count I made the hairdresser do): this is of concern because if I'm not going grey at this age like my Mum did, am I going to wake up with a beard like my Nan did?

Ungrateful blogger that I am, this is at least two weeks, probably more before I finally pulled myself together to post about it. Sorry Linda, I really am very grateful for it!

Now. Talk has been turning to the next Cotswold Vintage Fair. It's fair to say that life at the moment has been throwing me as much as it thinks I can handle and then adds a few more things just for the hell of it. As they say, shit happens.

So a date for the next fair hasn't yet been set but I think that now I'm looking more towards July for it: I'm still scouting out halls as our previous home just isn't big enough for all the new traders who want to take part, and I will keep you updated as soon as I have dates and venues sorted. Sorry to mess you all around like this but I'd rather postpone and have another really fantastic day than try to cram everything in and possibly be found sucking my thumb whilst rocking back & forth in a corner!
