June summary

Well, it's almost July and June has been FRANTIC!
I would like to post some pictures on this blog, but so far have only worked out how to post existing ones..I will keep trying!
Lots of great parties this month. The Big Top has been in hot demand. I may try to purchase an extra roof section so we will be able to seat up to 80 (very ambitious!) My erection team have been brilliant. Big thanks to John, David and Caspar in particular. A very physical job this one!
The best bits for me are making everything look beautiful. Lots of flower arranging, garland draping and bunting hanging! Alchemilla is a fabulous filler with all the lovely garden roses, lavender etc, exactly does the job of gypsophelia in the winter; pretty and frothy and enhances any arrangement.
Mustn't waffle on though, 'my boys' and I have just had a hasty pub supperr after yet another evening of tent activity! On to the next one....

Well, life is very busy on the Vintage Marquee front! We have just been exhibiting at the Beaufort Polo event near Westonbirt. A frantic weekend selling 'shabby chic' homewares, selling delicious home made cakes and tea and coffee, and of course promoting the beautiful old marquees. Lots of interest ( the tent did look beautiful, I have to admit!) and lots of jolly pictures taken with morris dancers jigging about infront of the marquee! Will post those when I learn how!!

June news

well, I still haven't quite got the hang of this blog malarky, and forget to add to it!
But very exciting news (if you are keen on tents!!!) I have just bought 3 more!!
All very small and very pretty. A 12' x 12', central pole and removable sides, great for a band tent, or drinks serving. Also a 16' x 16' traditional. A great catering tent. Then the baby!! A 50yr old cream canvas tent, perfect for the children's area if you are hiring a larger tent for a party.
Will try to do a photo shoot when the sun shines, then you will see a few pics.
