Sunshine Antiques

 Today being one of the first sunny days of the year, we packed a picnic and made our way down to Ardlingly Antiques Fair to see what treasures they had in store. Such a massive venue requires dedication and a strong sense of purpose in finding what you're after, and we were distracted to say the least by some great finds - an original mould for glass Coke bottles, a snip at £300, and an original roll of beautiful green-and-yellow Lucienne Day fabric for £600.

I was overwhelmed by the size of the place and forgot to take photos near the start of the day, but I did take a few snaps of some of the other finds of the day.

 Vintage rocking horse animals amongst a whole collection of carnival salvage

Childrens chairs in candy colours, and french patio chairs brightened up by flowers

and a gorgeous old bike!

I did make one purchase which will be making its way onto the website for sale soon, a 1930's industrial stool that needs cleaning up....pictures to be posted shortly!
