Langport Vintage Market, 13th August

Picture
On Saturday 13th August, we were back at the @langportvintage market! It was really, really hot, but as always, @mattartpix and I had a great day with our lovely fellow traders and a lot of interest!
We are planning our markets for this autumn/winter season and hopefully will have a couple of dates for you in the next few weeks or so, watch this space! 
​And we have started thinking about the planning of our online bookshop which we hope to open in 2023! 

Picture
The Arcane corner on Matt ArtPix's stall at the market! Quite a few of those books were sold!

On our stall, we also had SabineT Handmade's beautiful handmade jewellery made with vintage lace and items she has found in her natural environment in Scotland.

Books for the post box library in Portesham, Dorset

Picture
The Phone Box Library at Portesham has two new books for reading lovers to read!

This morning, I deposited a copy of each of my novels, I Am a Muse and The Book of Thoth on its shelves whilst on my way to Bridport. The copy of The Book of Thoth is one of the nine books which suffered some water damage back in May 2020 - there are slight brown-orange marks on the corner of a few pages but that's it, so the book is in good condition although obviously not good enough for me to sell it at full price! I added a copy of I Am a Muse because... Well, why not? I hope to find another eight places where to leave a copy of TBOT. Watch this space!


The phone box itself has an interesting history. This is from the Portesham Village website: "This is a K6 kiosk designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott (designer of Battersea Power Station and Bankside Power Station, now the Tate Modern) , probably put in place sometime after 1949 when the Royal Fine Arts Commission were allowing rural examples to be painted in different colours. Kiosks have emerged painted in colours such as this green and a battleship grey.
From1926 the kiosk's fascias were emblazoned with a prominent crown, representing the British government (of which the Post Office was then an agency). Our box sports the Tudor Crown which was in use from 1936 until 1953 at which time Queen Elizabeth II decided to change it to the St Edwards Crown being the actual crown used by British Monarchs."
