Wow! how about this!!
Jo created this ad for her magazine 'Pretty Nostalgic' I love it!
Now for a quick catch up! Another hectic week in marquee land!! A wet wedding in Kent, a (by the sound of it) fabulous boozy party under the Big Top in Corsham, Wilts and a very soggy celebration for British Waterways under the Brixworth in Devizes! Next week we have a wedding, an 18th birthday party and two christenings!

more tomorrow..perhaps...

Wetsuits and wellies

This was the new theme for Nat and Anna's party. So apt given the sopping summer we are having! Amongst all my other paraphernalia Anna hired brollies and hung them from trees but luckily their guests only had to use them to go home! We are struggling valiantly on, the weather making hard work of it all. But Vintsge Marquees (along with all things retro) seem to be increasingly popular and we are struggling to keep up with demand, having about four events on every weekend! Tomorrow we are off to Devizes, erecting a marquee and skittle alley for a British Waterways fun day next to the canal! Then back to Corsham to put up the Big Top for a 50th birthday party, while Nick, Lloyd and Caspar are off to Kent to put up marquees for a wedding at Swarling Manor...we do get about!! And we might yet be famous!!two photo shoots in one week!! We have just collected one of the Vintsge marquees from lovely Pearl Lowe who is writing an article for the Times style magazine, and this week I delivered our little Joey tent for a photo shoot for Country Living magazine. We have an ad in the new Pretty Nostalgic bimonthly magazine...all great, but I have absolutely no clue when we may appear in any of the publications!! Ho hum!!
