It has taken me until today to finally get back to some kind of normality - where I can gather my thoughts and plan my next course of action.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Summer was well and truly taken up with holidays, day trips and keeping four little poppets entertained. It was at times very testing - especially on the rainy days but I had the most thoroughly enjoyable time!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Times are changing around here though!!! I have decided to add a new blog or two so that I can keep My Grannies Attic purely for telling you all about my families goings on and the vintage twist I bring into our home.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My new blogs will focus on my new business - Vintage Simplicity - Vintage China and Accessories Hire. One will diarise the development of the company and the other will be in the form of a blog shop where I will be selling lovely hampers of china and cake stands.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Please hang on in there whilst these get up and running. My branding and logo design should be with me by the middle of next week so please look out for that.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am also in the midst of meetings - setting up my new website for Vintage Simplicity. It is all happening so quickly now - I have all of my stock sitting ready and waiting for the 2011 wedding season and lots of wedding fairs planned.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Anyway, onto some finds that I gathered over the summer. These are all for keeps and will be proudly displayed in our home (all of my china finds will be shown in my Vintage Simplicity Blog - watch this space........).</span><br />

I was up at 4.30am which wasn't to bad as it was so warm anyway, the birds were singing and it was too beautiful to be in bed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I got to Kempton at 5.30am which was far to early as the traders cannot start trading until 6.30am. I knew I had to be there early though as I had some really special items to find.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I had a wander around all of the vans, which were all shut up so decided to go and get some breakfast. On the way I had a little sneeky peek inside one of the vans which to my amazement was crammed full of just what I was looking for.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I must have looked really strange hanging around the van for just under an hour but I knew that come 6.30 this one van would have a lot of people interested in it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Because it was such a gorgeous morning a big queue was forming outside of the entrance (I must have been mistaken for a trader to have got in so early - whoops!!!!).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Once 6.30 came it was like something from the Harrods January Sale. Hundreds of people ran in from the entrance gate and made a bee line to exactly the same van I was interested in.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I knew I had to act quick - as soon as the van was unloaded I had to make a decision. And there they were............... a pair of chairs from France - just what I had been looking for!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifu8Cp0rCc87EaMIWm9CO5umIsiaAJ4nt-NLnrOJG4G32s9hY8K40uhBlXWFAlaq1TwqyioQsNaO8W_ahVq9Ycebw-6QLH1rvb7NfZoR6FwnKocASRmXHzv2TqnWDOKFUhkKTQ_6aOqw/s1600/IMG_1457.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="206" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifu8Cp0rCc87EaMIWm9CO5umIsiaAJ4nt-NLnrOJG4G32s9hY8K40uhBlXWFAlaq1TwqyioQsNaO8W_ahVq9Ycebw-6QLH1rvb7NfZoR6FwnKocASRmXHzv2TqnWDOKFUhkKTQ_6aOqw/s320/IMG_1457.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT3hS0S5GHTv33H9z5xu9gbdgw6_kNusfejsxOgqndHuRRpxi7MyUa6v-CWibvQeiFW0l9-IZOH50978oYuUiws9Z8rNNr8UO1AY_yPv8IgxKTaLlEon1OIZQIix1NGK5azomCphLG-g/s1600/IMG_1459.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT3hS0S5GHTv33H9z5xu9gbdgw6_kNusfejsxOgqndHuRRpxi7MyUa6v-CWibvQeiFW0l9-IZOH50978oYuUiws9Z8rNNr8UO1AY_yPv8IgxKTaLlEon1OIZQIix1NGK5azomCphLG-g/s320/IMG_1459.jpg" width="277" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">They are just so gorgeous and so much so that I would love to keep them.

Their future will I am sure be fantastic!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After my amazing find, I had to calm down and get down to business and find yet more china. It can be difficult sourcing the right kind of china and teapots in particular can be really hard to find. I was in luck though and came across all of this - and all before 7am!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFAdFaJSZd6X0qVIoCuSF-oX_rEnLyKGhfTG5a4S3n_6-ZVFyJr_xzvlVr9eeZfOqynyVdRby6kSzTezp8vAI1k8h-u1X1V_Lt9NLkfNC-84oigcOBc1JpoeiWhINMGLOLrDYJgZY1RQ/s1600/IMG_1454.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFAdFaJSZd6X0qVIoCuSF-oX_rEnLyKGhfTG5a4S3n_6-ZVFyJr_xzvlVr9eeZfOqynyVdRby6kSzTezp8vAI1k8h-u1X1V_Lt9NLkfNC-84oigcOBc1JpoeiWhINMGLOLrDYJgZY1RQ/s320/IMG_1454.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhARbjx7yXOl2XInykSQwM3gkPWpz2bR8YN5SnEikc6d5Ue5VuYWhohwPVj7E4OnH1Tl9CNKoEmH87ipqFV_wfb6vBAt-eRzwzkspzRyqU3En7mQ6K8MjFsNXKitRelP9vQto2gBEY3nQ/s1600/IMG_1455.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhARbjx7yXOl2XInykSQwM3gkPWpz2bR8YN5SnEikc6d5Ue5VuYWhohwPVj7E4OnH1Tl9CNKoEmH87ipqFV_wfb6vBAt-eRzwzkspzRyqU3En7mQ6K8MjFsNXKitRelP9vQto2gBEY3nQ/s320/IMG_1455.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The first photo is of a complete 1930's tea set - so pretty!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The second photo shows two teapots - of completely different designs but will look fab with all of my other mismatched china.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After these early finds, the heavens opened. I was outside and a good 10 minute walk back to the indoor stalls. I got absolutely soaked and when teamed with a white dress and sandals, I really was not a pretty sight!!! On my rush back through all of the puddles I came across this little chap.
