Enjoy a day out at Lincolnshire Antiques and Home Show.

I thought I would show you where I will be on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and why Rag Rescue website is closed for sales until my return home.


.........Enjoy!.........

All day we are entertained by the Red Arrows. Their base is next door to the showground so we see them training and watch the spectacular manoeuvres in the sky.

The shopping arcade outside the Epic Centre which is where Rag Rescue can be found - 2nd marquee on the left of the photo in front of the building.

Inside the Epic Centre.

Outside stalls

Something for everyone.

It is so tempting.

No need to go to France, buy French items at the fair.

Clothes by the tent full.

All colours, designs and era's.

Meet all nationalities, as they fly over from the four corners of the world to this event.

Be entertained!

But you will need stout walking shoes or boots, there are thousands of stalls.

I hope to see you there.

What a find

I came across this wonderful old piece of fabric at the beginning of December. It is one of a number from the same hanging. I think they are European in origin and quite early as the design is woven into the fabric. Unfortunately some of the pieces have begun to shred in places but there is still sufficient to frame.
If anyone is interested, can enlighten me more or would like further photographs please contact me through the Rag Rescue website.

I'd just like to thank everyone who have kick started the New Year by buying from the Rag Rescue website. I think Google is now picking up the site as I have had orders from America as well as the UK.

Off to the fairs

The time has around again when we must pick up all of our stock and head for the fairs.
In just over a week we will be filling the van to the roof and travelling over the Pennines to the wonderfu fair at Swinderby, Lincolnshire. This Antiques fair is huge and grows bigger each year. Buyers arrive from all four corners of the globe to ship out the superb antiques and collectables that are on display. The Christmas Swinderby Fair is open on 4th and 5th December. You will need stout shoes for walking, warm clothes and waterproofs just in case. The best day to visit is the Tuesday which is trade day but anyone is welcome. Many of the outside pitches leave after this day so if you want to view everything then Tuesday is recommended.
There are huge marquees, which is great for this time of year, food stalls, disabled facilities with mobility scooters for hire and International lounges.
It is free entrance on Wednesday.
On the Wednesday after we have packed everything up we normally move down the road to the Newark International Antiques fair but this time we are off to Stafford Bingley Hall Antiques Fair until the Sunday evening. This is a much smaller affair n comparison to Swinderby but warm, friendly and just as much fun. It is all inside in a huge building.
We will not only be taking our antique stock but also the vintage fabrics, textiles, trims and haberdashery you see on the
Rag Rescue website
plus much more which I haven't had time to put on the site.

Hope to see you there if you are in the UK at this time.
