Shepton Mallet - Giant Flea - 21 June

It's time once again for the Giant Flea at Shepton Mallet (Bath & West Showground). The weather is set fair for Sunday (hopefully those of us inside will get some visitors though!!) and the car is already groaning at the weight of what I'm piling in. I shall be in my usual spot, halfway down the first aisle in the hall, opposite the sweetie man!

The usual fabric bundles, lace and larger fabric lengths will be on offer, together with one table full of £1 items. I have too much stock and I need room to buy more!!!! Included in the £1 selection will be linens, fabric, balls of DMC Coton Perle, tapestry wool, lace, vintage scarves etc.

I shall also be taking some French linen/hemp smocks (great for gardening), baby gowns and a mixture of goodies extracted from Dairy House - including a couple of eiderdowns and possibly the odd quilt. And how could I forget ... buttons ... buttons ... and more buttons!

Open to the public from 9.30 until 4.00. Hope to see you there ...

Hi Sue!
I'll probably see you on Sunday, we're most likely to visit!

I'm visiting everyone who showed an interest in Afternoon Tea. I have provisionally booked The Bath Priory for 4pm on Friday 17th July. Can you let me know if this suits you? I will need to confirm numbers with the hotel one week before.
I shall post a short blog entry just to make sure everyone has the details!
Have a super weekend.

A giant flea in England in June. Oh, how I wish I could be there, but alas, the Lear jet is at the cleaners. :-(

At any rate, hope you sell *everything* you're taking!
