With only just 3 days to go it's time to remind you that on Monday 1st April 2013 from 10.00 till 3.00 at the Portscatho Memorial Hall Jane and I will be hosting our much loved HOMESPUN Easter Fair.

As always you can expect a wide range of wonderful vintage items and handcrafted creations offered by popular familiar faces as well as some new stallholders.

And after a good shop you can take a rest and have some refreshments in our Vintage Tea Room, where you can sample delicious home made cakes provided by the stallholders. All the profits made from the teas go to a local charitable trust.

Portscatho Memorial Hall is located on the hill between Portscatho and Gerrans. After turning off the main road signed for Portscatho, Gerrans and St Antony's take the next left for Portscatho and follow the road into the village till you come to a T junction (with a small private road opposite). Turn right up the hill and the hall is about 200 yards on your left. For detailed maps and/or information how to reach Portscatho you could use Google maps with postcode TR2 5HR or please take a look at our blog/website : http://homespunfair.blogspot.com/2011/04/how-to-get-to-portscatho.html

There might find some spaces in the car park at the side of the hall. Alternatively there is a car park on your left when you drive into the village or a free car park at the top of the hill down the lane just before the pub "The Royal Standard" on your left.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Ho, Ho, Ho, Its the Christmas Fair!

This Sunday, November 18th our Christmas Fair will take place at our usual venue, Portscatho Memorial Hall. Come along between 10 and 3 and you will find loads of lovely vintage stuff and some beautiful handmade items too! 

Homemade cakes and beverages served all day so you can linger a little longer. So start your christmas shopping here, I know I will be!

By the Seaside there's a Fair ...

In just three weeks time our next HOMESPUN Summer Fair will take place, on Sunday 5 th August 2012 from 10.00 till 3.00 at the Portscatho Memorial Hall.

You will find more than 20 stallholders offering a range of wonderful vintage items, from beautiful tea sets and toys to vintage clothing, linens and even small bits of furniture, not to mention the wonderful creations many of our stallholders make from vintage and antique pieces such as bags, jewellery, decorations, cards and handmade Cornish toiletries, offered by quite a lot of familiar faces as well as several new stallholders.

And if all that shopping tires you out take a rest and some refreshments in our Vintage Tea Room, where you can sample delicious home made cakes provided by the stallholders. This has proved so popular that some customers come just to buy cake! All the profits made from the teas go to the Cornish Wildlife Trust who will also be having a stall in the back room.

Jane (Jane and the happy Crow) will have a unique selection of small furniture, vintage toys and unique finds and I will be selling on my stall (treutmade) some sewing boxes, doll's furniture, bags, beaded bags, cushions etc.
