My name is Vicki..and I have a jug habit!!

I think I have a jug habit!  These are some (but not all) of my latest purchases:





Not only all jugs, but all a very similar shade of yellow; although all different makers and designs.  My utility china habit continues.  As does my fondness for old tins:

Whoops, don't know why that came out sideways! 
Mini Quality Street tins.

It is a busy few weeks here fair-wise.  I was at the Hertfordshire Vintage Fair at Watford last week.  As usual, I took terrible pictures of my stall:



This Sunday, I will be in Hatton Park, near Warwick for the Blighty Boutique Vintage and Handmade Fair (see flyer on my sidebar); and then the following week at the Olney Vintage Fair (flyer also on sidebar).  I am really looking forward to attending them; so must go now and get on with sorting out stock.

A day of mixed fortunes...

Yesterday started out well.  On taking a couple more bags to the charity shop from our house clearing efforts; I thought it was going to be my lucky day, when I saw this lovely pink utility tureen on the shelf:



(Pictured here with a large Jasmine Woodsware jug found on an earlier trip).  I don't often find pink utility around here; so it had to come home with me, despite the need to clear out!

Then sadly, while madly clearing up for the estate agent to come and take pictures; I discovered we had had unwelcome visitors to our sheds overnight.  Bess, our black labrador, is clearly not a guard dog!!  So now hubby is a number of power tools lighter and both sheds needs repairing.  However, not all bad news, as it appears that the burglars had no taste and hence left all my vintage stock untouched.  Thank goodness for that!  Definitely time to move I think.
