Coming to the Port Eliot House & Gardens Country House car boot this Sunday, a pretty pair of tapestry seated carver chairs, recently released from a local country house.

Trying to rid myself of that lifelong feeling that I should be doing more and actually enjoying precious family time.
Been wanting to visit Billy’s farm for ages for Sunday breakfast and ridiculous that it has taken us so long given that it is walking distance from home.
No food pictures I'm afraid as it was too swiftly devoured (plus we ate outside and it was a bit breezy) so all I can say is to go and try it yourself. Home reared produce, as local and sustainable as we can get given my garden is too small for livestock (although next doors cows thought otherwise). Absolutely delicious and great service.
Gorgeous picture of the pygmy kid photo credit to Billy’s farm.
I think this may become a tradition.

A picture of Emma you will very rarely see, wearing a pale colour, not wearing jeans, actually allowing a photo 🤣.
I actually wore the first of these French nightgowns to a recent fair, teamed with a denim jacket and cullottes, and had so many compliments. It was lovely to have one of those rare days of not being grubby (how do people look glamourous when gardening?).
I have 2 of them available which actually make for a really reasonably priced piece of clothing at £25 each.
The first, JB, fits me and I am size 12. The second, ME, is smaller and would fit more of a size 8.
Happy to post.
Price excludes postage.

It's been a funny couple of weeks, or months I suppose.
Around 20 years ago I moved into a little village in Cornwall. Not one of the super expensive coastal ones but more inland, one still full of families who have been there for generations, and whose family names appear on the gravestones of the local church.
At this point, 2 things were most important in my life..
1. That it had a good local school with small classes and more time for the children.
2. That the area had good dog walking.
With me at the time I had my first lurcher, my black and tan gypsy girl who was forever at my side. For hours we would explore the area, the woodlands, the local pubs. On one such walk I discovered a house that I completely fell in love with. It was the house I dreamt of. Roses and wisteria covered the front and large potted aganpanthus stood at each side of the front door. Fruit bushes grew to one side of the house. A beautiful blue painted barn stood alongside the mainhouse and little, intriguing barns.
On the opposite side of the road a productive vegetable garden showed the sort of people who might live there.
Fast forward to Covid and I was asked by one of my customers if I could collect some leek plants from their friend. There it was, that cottage I dreamed of.
I got to spend precious days working in that garden, sitting on a bench outside drinking coffee and discussing art, gardens, watching the birds on the feeder, listening to the guinea fowl call loudly from the tree above. I got to go into the house with it's bold William Morris designs and treasures collected over many generations and from many countries.
Today I went for the last time to see it finally packed up as it welcomes new custodians. I so hope that the new owners continue to make it the sanctuary for both humans and wildlife that it has been for so many years. Grateful that I get to come home to my own cottage, the place that I never thought I would get to, and to bring home a few momentoes from that happy place.

Just how adorable is this. A Harrods, Harris tweed, Beau Brummel childs coat. Great quality with the name that, in those days, carried such prestige.
Tweed is good condition but a couple of moth holes in the wool lining and could do with another dry clean. From around the 1960s, yet timeless and made to last. If only all brands still had this ethos.
Would fit a child from age 5 - 7 depending on size of child.

This lovely German pine dresser has been languishing in a barn (not mine) for too long, waiting to be lovingly restored and brought back to life. It has clearly been in a caustic tank and lost some of the trim and the right hand door needs gluing back together. It has also lost it's back feet.
I am itching to work on it myself (so had it with gardening over the past few weeks), but am already overwhelmed with work and other commitments so if someone else wants a project before it gets buried in the back of my "to do" pile...
It measures 130cm high, 59cm depth and 132cm wide. Back legs are missing but I have the trim for the door as seen in pic.
It can be yours for £150. Collect Lifton in Devon or could meet on the a30 near Okehampton.

This is one of those really annoying teaser posts, where an antique dealer shows you something and then says that it is not for sale. I am sooo excited to get these, especially as I have always wanted to go to St Fagans.
Just popping on to thank all who joined me for my sale on Wed and to say that I will not be selling at either flea tomorrow.
My friend is in the final throes of clearing out her property and I have bought a large number of books, the remainder of which I need to collect tomorrow. I have just picked up the rest of the clothes and will be slowly sorting through it all. I may do a giant clearout but not sure where yet.
In the meantime, wishing all hardy enough to be out selling tomorrow a good day.
