Market Day again


A perfect, crisp day to be working outside at the Brickworks Farmers Market. Alas, the gods were not with me and I did not sell a single quilt or blanket. I sold some of my popular vintage wool curling jackets from the 50s 60s, you can just see some hanging up.


Some of the major roads were closed and I think it was a slow day for all, at least I can bring my items out another time, unlike the farmers whom I saw lugging lots of produce back into their vans. I bought some meat from The Quinte Organic Co-operative, who was right behind me, always a great neighbor
to have.
I shall just treat it as a PR day.


I am making an effort to go through my Liberty scarves.....here is an unusual fine wool printed with a very autumnal design.

Not sure which era...60s 70s perhaps?l

  1. The Liberty scarf does look very 70s! And your quilts are lovely - I like the colourful one (bottom right hand corner on the display rack).

  3. I vote 70's for your lovely scarf. The large print with sharp angles is why. Plus I'm old enough to remember that wonderful decade.

  5. How anyone can pass up your beautiful vintage quilts is beyond me - they are a rare breed in this country unless you go to a specialist shop or fair.
    I too would say 70s - i remember the browns from my teen years

  7. I wouldn't be able to pass up one of those beautiful vintage quilts! Good thing I live in California then...(heehee)

    You have a good attitude about the market Jan - I always say "they might not buy today but they'll buy tomorrow"...

    Warm hugs,
