STORMY VERANDAH 2

Saturday's weather made for a diverse range of activity on the "verandah".

   At the 11h00 start of "trade" it was too wet and unpleasant to put stock out. We had people browsing clothes, accessories and bric-a-brac in the dining room and stock room. My son Eon had to turn my book room into a changing room. Fortunately with his assitance and my daughter Kia's help, things ran smoothly.

    

 At 13h00 when the customers had left, I spent time with Eon and Kia reflecting on the morning's happenings. The sun was out and we could get a grip on the game of croquet as my vintage set was also up for sale but did not attract the clothes buyers.  We were all in a very good mood and it was time for me to put on a second hat ... so I topped the grey felt hat with a soft feather creation to get into the Victorian spirit of the game that started in Glouchestershire in 1868. (Although a boater should have been more fitting!)

 

Here we discuss the fashion tastes of our buyers. My turquise hat may have been part of a bridesmaid's outfit in the 60's or 70's.
