In full swing

The preparations for the Swan market tomorrow are in full swing. The table in my living room is covered with different kind of teapots, plates, handbags, cups and saucers, jewellery and even some clothes. Almost everything you need for a vintage tea party will be for sale in my stall ;-). My hallway is full of boxes. It really is a mess. I think my family will be happy when it's all over and the house and I return to normal again.

My friend Ilse must have been sitting behind her sewing machine until late at night, making metres of bunting in the prettiest floral fabrics. The moment I set eyes on them, I was hooked! The bunting will be for sale in my stall as well.

I will not be there on my own. My husband and daughters will help me, so are two friends. I hope they haven't seen the weather forecast yet, because if they do they may well decide to stay at home.   It will probably be a wet, but hopefully jolly, affair :-)!


In between preparing for the market, I found some time to bake blueberry muffins. They taste light and healthy and look beautiful with their golden glow. You can find the recipe here.

If you are planning to come to the Swan Market, don't forget to take cash money with you, as most stall holders don't have a cash machine. I will be on the market from 12.00 until 18.00 hours. For more information about how to get there, please visit the Swan Markets website. Looking forward to meet you! 

A Happy weekend to you all!
