So after last year when 50th birthday parties seemed to dominate the year, 2017 seems to be the year of 70ths, with a gaggle of 70th Parties in the diary already. It’s really important to make these parties look as authentic but also as colourful and vibrant as ever. So this week I have gleaned the gorgeous antique huts of Faversham Harbour, a couple of auctions and the usual wonderful charity shops of East Kent to add to Me Old Vintage China’s collection. Also I have been informed of a group organised by Meet Up where people meet up once a week to scour charity shops in beautiful Kent villages. Once they have purchased their wares, its then onto a country pub for a glass of wine. This sounds extremely civilised to me and I have booked onto my first one. Happy Days methinks.

Every Thursday morning from 10.30 – 11.30 at Swalecliffe Library there is a ‘Drop In’ centre called TALKTIME which is run by Kent County Council for anyone who fancies a cup of tea and chat.

Helen and her troupe of hardworking volunteers set out a section of the library and bring in their wonderful homemade cakes. Today Veronica made a Lemon Drizzle we had over 15 attendees all of whom enjoyed the Lemon Drizzle and some scones.

Quite often the team at Swalecliffe Library arrange for someone to come in and talk to the group.  We have recently had a lady who hires out vintage crockery bring in her colourful collection. We also had a speaker talking about hands and nail care and children from a local school came in and sang songs, it was delightful.

This facility at the library is great for bringing members of the community together, so come down next Thursday and meet the great volunteers who will make you extremely welcome.

Our first Wedding Show was such good fun what a happy industry to work in.  We met so many lovely couples and were happy to provide our complimentary tea and coffee to their entourages alongside a sneaky chocolate biscuit or two.

Funny how drinking tea from a beautiful vintage cup and saucer can take you back to the warmth of your Grandma’s front room and get everyone nostalgic.  A great day for all and I can’t wait for the next one.
