The Bank Holiday ones are always twice the extent of the usual monthly Fleamarkets.<br /><br />Hoping we get an opportunity to give that box an outing soon after we've tidied it up. We were careful with our spending, but have a couple of nice things to show for it.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-82489969844190801742021-08-31T04:52:56.270-07:002021-08-31T04:52:56.270-07:00I do admire your selections.

Think you are right that the 'communion' box will sell very well. Can imagine how tiring it was--even though you were having a good time. Almost a bit too much after all these months of confinement and lack of socialization.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587652444835060129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-81314523728821471862021-08-31T00:53:20.261-07:002021-08-31T00:53:20.261-07:00I was going to walk past and leave it, as heaven k...I was going to walk past and leave it, as heaven knows when our next Big Fair will be, but it spoke to me, and I haggled the price down by a third, so it came home with us!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-58098876001655715022021-08-31T00:52:09.510-07:002021-08-31T00:52:09.510-07:00That's rather what we thought but gosh, it was...That's rather what we thought but gosh, it was a hefty thing to haul upstairs!! I shall look up such boxes specifically and also what chrism is (having never heard of it before). Thank you Jackie. I think it is French/Italian/Spanish but given the fact that French dealers come here to sell, I expect it is French from Victorian times.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-25731328190538200702021-08-31T00:50:33.177-07:002021-08-31T00:50:33.177-07:00Peddlar's Mall sounds like the buildings with ...Peddlar's Mall sounds like the buildings with Units in (such as we used to have) here in UK. I'm SO glad we weren't stuck with one when Covid struck as I know the rent still had to be paid - although some allowances were made.<br /><br />These jugs are right on the very top of my white dresser as a certain little stripey Theo cat can climb onto/into the shelves and indeed did exactly that on Saturday night and had to be carefully extracated and gently scolded!<br /><br />Two years ago, Keith had no trouble with walking and we used to walk fast around the Fair, expertly scanning the stalls for the sort of stock we were used to purchasing. It doesn't work like that if - like Tam- you sell jewellery, but for us it worked well and we got to see as many stalls as possible before the best stuff got sold. Now we go round much slower and towards the end yesterday, after over 4 hours' walking, Keith was exhausted and I took his arm as we trailed round at a geriatric snail's pace. . .

Now the boxes are smaller, but the cubby holes are pretty much the same. The small indents in the center probably held oil and chrism. <br /><br />God bless.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051183778965359500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-64645008394769478132021-08-30T14:13:19.390-07:002021-08-30T14:13:19.390-07:00Peddlers' Mall, an indoor venue, always has so...Peddlers' Mall, an indoor venue, always has some stalls that look as thought items from a mid-60's mobile home had been thrown into the space. Other stalls have been thoughtfully arranged with vintage goods, some even themed to one or two types of collectibles. <br />I love your blue and white jugs, but have learned from 'shattering' experiences that my resident felines have no respect for breakables. <br />Trailing around such sales places is exhausting, both for ones feet and for the mind which has attempted to take in and process too much in a short time.
