Best moment of the day at Saturday's market in Abergavenny was when a little boy shouted 'look Mummy that lady looks just like a Christmas tree' !!!

What a lovely time I had yesterday evening at our monthly Night Market in Abergavenny. Thanks to everyone who popped in.

I didn't get chance to add any pics of this beautiful vintage Welsh wool tapestry blanket that I collected from Carmarthenshire while I was away. Stunning pink, green, white with a pop of yellow. Traditional Caernarfonshire portcullis design. Huge King/Super King size. Lovely condition. Woven by Elfed Woollen Mill with original label. As ever I've popped a link in the comments/story to the listing on my website for more info.

What a lovely few days in Pembrokeshire! Couple of nights at the caravan & some great walks with my partner then across to Newport, Pembs to celebrate with my good friend Sandra McCarthy for her 70th! Great stop over for the night at The Golden Lion Newport & lovely birthday meal at Llys Meddyg Resturant - Newport. Picked up some lovely vintage Welsh tapestry blankets on the way home near Carmarthen so watch out for those! Perfect!

I'm back to it now though & getting ready for this evening's NIGHT MARKET at Abergavenny Market which is always a lovely event. Shop will be open 5pm til 9pm. Then I'll be back in on SATURDAY 9am til 4pm.

Penblwydd Hapus Sandy ❤️

Doing lots of Christmas shopping in the Artisan Craft Market before opening the shop this morning & I'm probably going to spend more money than I take!!!

Lovely event in Abergavenny Market run by the lovely Emma of Artisan Events Wales. So lovely to meet up with makers especially my good friend & customer Jayne of Blodau A***n . She makes amazing silver jewellery & I'm trying to decide on which of her 'Welsh Mountain' necklace collection to buy - shall I go for Sugarloaf, Blorenge, Skirrid or Penyfan? Such a dilemma!

I've bought some gorgeous framed limited edition prints from the super talented local artist Louise Collis - Artist but I can't let on which scenes I bought as it's a surprise! Ssshhhhh ❤️

Open til 4pm today - Sunday 25th November 2025

Crazy day here in Abergavenny for Saturday's Market. Super grateful to you all once again. I've been digging around in my storage units & finding vintage Welsh wool tapestry coats & capes that I'd actually forgotten I had! The teal coat & the monochrome cape are my favourites today. It's been a bit chilly so I'm wrapped up in loads of layers. Welsh wool & colour coordinated of course!

Don't forget I'm open again tomorrow (Sunday) for the Artisan Craft Market. A lovely independent event with some very talented artists & makers. Open 10 til 4.

In the meantime do let me know which of the new arrivals you'd choose?!

Lots of you asking about the cape I was wearing in yesterday's video so I thought I'd share a little bit about it. This is a 1960's Vintage Welsh tapestry wool cape with side opening buttons known as a Dr. Kildare neck. It's the pattern that is special. The 'tulip' design was only ever made at Brynkir Woollen Mill in North Wales. Sadly this mill is also now gone. Not sure how I'm going to part with it but as ever I've added a link in the comments/story/bio. One of my favourites 🌷 🌷 🌷

It's been such a busy day here in Abergavenny for our Tuesday General Market that I haven't had chance to post until the end of the day! This beautiful vintage Welsh wool tapestry blanket in red, white & black has just arrived - the Welsh Lady's colours! I've just managed to pop it on my website & as ever you'll find a link in the comments/story/bio. Thanks so much if you popped in today ❤️

'WHAT IS THAT'? This was the No.1 question I was asked recently when I did a stall at The National Woollen Museum. There were lots of visitors from America, Germany & The Netherlands who had never seen these vintage Welsh wool Honeycomb blankets before.

The honeycomb or 'waffle' weave was a popular traditional design in Welsh mills. The weave produces a deep, square, waffle-like texture that traps pockets of air, creating a natural thermal effect. They were especially popular in the post-war years (1945-1960) and are considered a traditional Welsh textile icon. I've found lots of colours over the years & I still have my late Grandmother's - pale blue on one side & lemon on the other. A treasured heirloom.

I've listed a few of these on my website so as ever I'll drop a link in comments/story/bio. Do let me know if you have any memories of them ❤️
