Ivybridge, Devon, United Kingdom
Hi Thank you for visiting my blog. My name is Sue and I live with my lovely husband who I will call Mr V and our nine year old daughter Miss V in a small town in South Devon. Everyone who lives here talks about it as The Village so that will be my blog name- Vintage fron the Village Also in our family are two cats, two guinea pigs some tropical fish and a pond with goldfish I have always loved making things and love pretty vintage things which I hope to sell as well to fund my passion! I am addicted to buying fabric,ribbons, buttons,wool etc and love to visit charity shops and car boot sales.I love glasses of wine, gardening, crochet (easy stuff!) and I am a big E-Bay fan ! I also love to read other people's blogs which inspired me to start my own. I look foward to hearing from you Best wishes Sue

So very Cath dont you think ?

Hi again
Hope you are all having a good week. I am, it was my birthday on Monday.

Not the best day of the week to have one but we had a good weekend to start it off. On the Saturday we went for a meal at a lovely country pub - The First and Last Bistro in a small village near here called Ermington.
I love it there and it was even better as I won a voucher for £45 at our dentist so we only had to pay for the wine !
You would love it, it has a huge inglenook fireplace and fabric hearts and chickens hanging up and pots of spring flowers in the porch.
It was too busy to take photos inside (or I was too shy) and I have no flash on my phone so couldn't take one outside either.

Anyway on Sunday we went to Wembury beach. Miss V even went in the sea with no wetsuit on. Mr V and I tried to paddle but it was sooooooo cold in there.

On the Monday we went to Ashburton for a coffee and look around the shops but I had to get back for work and all the shops were still closed. Never mind.

Anyway back to the Cath like find

An unused vintage toiletries travel case - isnt it lovely
find it here http://shop.ebay.co.uk/Stirfry148/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1 if you want it !
Oh no I have run out of time. need to get changed for work.

Back later hopefully with a giveaway

Me in my facintator !

A pretty bad photo or perhaps I just look pretty bad !?

Anyway here I am. Not done a post for a while again, been really busy. Did some extra hours at the school this week and a family wedding last weekend. The photos were all taken up on Plymouth Hoe in that glorious sunshine. What a lovely day we had.

Still Ebaying like mad and today I have been to Westpoint in Exeter to the Quilting show and had a little spending spree on fabric. I still have hardly touched the stash I bought last year but so what ey !
I saved the money I took at my last craft fair so I dont feel too guilty. The credit card only got one airing !

I will be back next week with a birthday giveaway. It will be my birthday on Monday and it must be about my blog's first birthday too !

Enjoy the rest of the weekend

Sue x
