Not being a great fan of Tesco at all.... I have to admit however.... that these are really quite natty.
Battery operated fairy lights in the shape of crowns....which are going to be ideal for my Fairs over the Christmas period and happily haven't broken the bank either...
White hyacinths in white containers....
A lovely set of 6 white napkins with initials and EPNS napkin rings....
And for a splash of subtle colour....I have been dyeing vintage tablecloths and napkins in an assortment of pretty colours....
Lovely lavender, cornflower blue, grey, indigo.....
The first "Christmas " Fair is this weekend at New College, Durham...Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th November...open 10am to 4pm daily.
I am really looking forward to it and also meeting up with the lovely Helen from Busy Bee Studio again and seeing what gorgeous goodies she has found.
I think I might have to buy her a box of crown lights for her stand too....they are just her kind of thing!
Hope you all have a great weekend whatever you are doing....

Oh might have to get some of those lights!! Love the napkins - Im realy into this dying lark , such fun. Good luck with the fairs. Tx
ReplyDeleteLoving the lights what a super find..I love all the glass too, especially when a table is laid with twinky lights and sparkling glass you can't beat it..
ReplyDeletePerfect xxxx
I agree with sea angels- pressed glass and twinkly lights always looks gorgeous- and your stand for the fairs is going to look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the engraved Mary Alice mug,Julie, but we may not be "up country" to see you at a fair until New Year's Day.
ReplyDeleteLovely lights too - poor old Tesco, they do get some things right!
Those lights are great - destination Tesco's tommorrow! I would never have thought of looking there for goodies.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember the little toile frames you sent me a while back, well I have just been decorating my bathroom with those as my theme ... I have grey walls and a red toile curtain and the antique towel you sent on display. I'm so pleased with the result - it looks really cosy and classy x
I love absolutely everything here: crowns, pressed glass, baking tins, hyacinths and vintage linen. How I would have loved to be in Durham at the weekend - I hope lots of people came and you had great success.

Yes, those crown lights are rather nice but, like you, I avoid Tesco at all costs. They are building a new supermarket on a roundabout near us and causing mayhem with the traffic! I love those monogrammed napkins and serviette rings. Love the Christening cup too.

Hello Julie, you are all geared up! It is so lovely and festive over here. I suppose you have to help people get in the mood though? I am having me some of those crown lights, they are cool. Thanks for the tip.Love the dyed napkins too, tres chic!
ReplyDeleteThankyou so much for your lovely comments on my blog, I really do appreciate them so much. I think public art is great, ugly or not, as it makes you sit up and take notice. Have a great week and good luck with the Fair. I wish I was there. Love Linda x
