Flowery Bunting.
So we set off far too early for the best car boot sale in the world only to find tumbleweed where there should have been treasure. Nothing. Not a car in sight. Not a single fellow treasure seeker to be seen…
Someone cancelled it and forgot to tell me.
So what’s a girl with money burning a hole in her pocket to do, but head to her favorite little place in the world and drown her disappointment in some good Java, before spending ten minutes in the cutest little shop in the world? Spending is a deep rooted disease.
Etcetera Home opened at Cedar Farm Galleries last year and brought to my doorstep the kind of whimsical little domestic treasures I’d previously only been dreaming about. From pink screwdrivers to snuggly blankets, floral spaghetti strainers and leopardskin brooms, it is for me, a tiny bit of pastel coloured heaven. Perfect for the Vintage HouseKeeper with an ongoing urge to treat herself to something scrumptious…
So what did I buy? The deliciously silly floral bunting and spaghetti strainer you see above. You know, essential things…
Then it was over to the gorgeous little food shop to buy homemade hummous, and walnut bread still warm from the oven, a packet of vanilla chocolate thins and some pretty little easter eggs because the likelihood of me getting around to blowing eggs this year is kind of slim and I do so like to swing an egg or two from a branch of forsythia or a bundle or twisted willow at this time of year…
Should you ever get the chance to go to Cedar Farm, jump at it: it’s scrumptious!
Kristy, fancy meeting for coffee and the best quiche in the world?
Oh I wish I lived up North. I'd love to go to Cedar Farm! It looks scrummy. Alas, Kent is just a bit too far…
I also love pastels! Pssst Alison…what is a floral bunting?
Happy Belated Birthday!
Whew! What a cute cute shop, and your "picks" look so cute! I am a bit ready to swing SOMETHING from a forsythia branch… some days, myself! haha.. I'll watch for an update on that. Take care. Have you guys got your books yet? G. is "moving on." See you soon.
Love your purchases Alison. Personally, I think I could do with a pink screwdriver and a leopardskin (faux though) broom. Yes yes yes. That's for me.
Always lovely to hear about your day … saves this lazy little friend from having to write to you … huh?
Lovely Spring Colours!
Lovely Shopping!
Yes, 'Spending is a deep rooted disease' for all of us who love the words scrumptious, vintage, treasures!
Thank you! Such beautiful things and such lovely Spring colors. What a fabulous shop!
Best quiche in the world and that gorgeous shop now that's tempting!
