Fair, panties and a big surprise!

Hello!
Sorry I missed you yesterday. I was winding down after an utterly brilliant weekend.
Vintage Village was amazing, just wonderful. Loads of people came to visit the Oooh Betty stall.
I was most pleased to meet Adele who sold me my lovely handy stool.
Also I had the great pleasure of chatting with Lynn of Doodley Birds fame. Check out her write up on the fair!

I arrived home exhausted but content.
When I bounced (dragged myself) through our front door I was greeted by a rather excited Mr Betty (not that kind of excited.....purrlease). He had a present for me!!

Before I tell you about the grand surprise I will share some stall pics with you.



















I had a really good day for sales, sold all my vanity cases and sold my sewing stool.
Truth be told I virtually sold out. I came home with one box of stock......such a good feeling.

Before I reveal Mr Bettys big surprise I should just mention my panties.






This is a stage in my kitty overhaul plans (the word plan makes it sound more efficient than it actually is).
I am now going to package my kitties wearing nothing but a pair of big knickers. They will also have a complete outfit and, as before, a satchel.
My mother has been busy over in the sweat shop annexe making little knitted panties in pretty underweary colours. She is ace!

So.....
I am now going to show you the bestest gift I have ever received in all my 21 years of life (shut it).






Can you flippin believe it??
Mr Betty has bought me a flippin caravan.
I don't think he could have chosen any better. It has glass windows, a stable style door and it is the perfect shape ( to me anyway).
It needs a lot of work to the interior but that is what I wanted...a project.
We have already started stripping it all out and i will take some pics of the interior once I am able to.
I don't know whether I will be able to sleep tonight. It is like Christmas but without sprouts :)

Tonight I will mostly be looking at caravans.
Thanks for reading. X

  3. Oh wow! That caravan is the exact one I have on my most wanted list in my head. I tried to explain the shape and size to my husband but he just conveniently said he didn't know what I was talking about. Well done Mr Betty on producing the perfect 21st present!

    Love Claire xx

  9. PANTS!!!! He he he, think its a good idea being packaged without outfit so it can be dressed. I may have to ask for similar pants from Mr Mabel&Bean for Christmas...
    There are no words for the caravan...it is quite positively the cutest little caravan I have ever seen, and can only imagine how lovely you will make it x

  14. Hee Hee big knickers on little kitties, love it, reminds me of the big green ones we had to wear at school.
    So lovely to see you Sunday, we had a great day. I always feels as if I'm in the place I'm supposed to be when I'm at a vintage event.
    Know wonder you were excited about the van its gorgeous. Don't think Philip would be impressed if I started ripping our Bluebird apart and going retro though. Enjoy it Mrs. B.
    See you soon.
    Love Lynn and the Doodly Birds x x x
