Day Trip

Last Sunday I had a stall at Dorchester Vintage Market (which was a waste of time) anyway when I was there I met Bob, Bob used to be at the Alleyways in Bridport's Vintage Quarter and when we first came to Bridport we bought a lot of furniture from him, the dresser, table and chairs, chests, shelves and he bought our old table and chairs from us, so we got chatting and he said that he had just opened an Antiques Bazzar and they were having lots of events there, Vintage Fair, Antiques Fair, Flea Market and Homemade Fair and I should come along with Aunt Janes Attic, so Thursday saw us having a trip out to Crewkerne and this is what we found at Bobs Antique Bazzar ....

space for a coffee or tea

where we sampled this

all served in pretty vintage cups of course

Little brown dog came along, as he to loves sniffing around a bit of vintage, lots of good old smells at these sort of places that Mummy is always visiting, especially this cowhide rug, perfect for a little snooze

a sewing room, where you can have alterations done or do your own sewing if you like

overall view of the Bazzar



lots of furniture

pretty plates

pretty washing

lovely linen

plenty of this to wade through

and eccentric daughter absolutely loved this, it was attached to a large clip, goodness know where you could wear it!

So if your in the Crewkerne area take a look around the Antiques Bazzar, or you can look at them here and all the events their having: http://www.antiquesbazaar.co.uk/default.html

From there we went into Crewkerne, because my Great Grandma x4 Elizabeth Lye was born there, married there and buried there.  So we went to have a look at the Church where it all happened...

trying  to imagine my Grandma and Grandad standing here and getting married, it is such a beauitiful church and so warm inside, unlike some churches

Unfortunatey I didn't find her grave, as they are too badly eroded, she died in 1849 in Bridport and was brought back to Crewkerne to the family tomb.

Her family also built this

Crewkerne Town Hall

There is also lots of lovely old houses, eccentric daughter and I were dilly dallying about the houses, with hubby trying to hurry us along, but wouldn't you just want to go and have a look in these houses, what went on in them and who lived there and what did they do, lots of interesting stories attached to them I'am sure.

Well think I better stop rambling now

Bye
