Builth Antique Fair & Fleamarket - photo heavy


Saturday saw us up at Builth Wells for the twice yearly Antiques Fair & Fleamarket.  Sunday's forecast was for rain, so Saturday it was.  There were some nice things which took our eye, and here is a selection.  Above and below: I loved the patterns on these.  Probably French.





An attractive fan-back stool . . .



There was a lovely display on this stall.  I like interesting things.



What a beautiful Log Cabin quilt.  Many many hours of sewing and a lovely stall generally.


Keith loved this Gothic chair.


Stall belonging to a friend of ours who always has choice pieces of furniture, some of it quite early and desirable.



On his stall, this lovely little primitive Irish child's chair.


And another, not Irish (think it was Welsh actually.)


I was smitten by this Arts and Crafts jardinière, but not tempted to part with my cash . . .


On the same stall, a nice piece of Studio pottery with a Bumble Bee.


Above and below: a glass stall with a fabulous array of glass.  The items below were all Alum Bay glass.  LOOK at that gorgeous table lamp.  I didn't dare look at the price, but I remember it from last time so it won't be cheap . . .



A lovely old ark, like the one Keith is making for me (will he ever finish it, one asks . . .)


Above and below: two rocking horses, the top one "pony skin" (probably goat) and the bottom one, ahem, reupholstered!!!




A selection of lovely Welsh wool blankets and quilts on offer in one of the sheds.


A lovely hand-quilted Welsh quilt.


Finally - Game of Thrones anyone?!!!
