March Photos ~ Day 8
Today was Friday and that meant a visit to Totnes market and the lovely Amanda.
Recognise the bag?
Every week Amanda's stall is a different theme and always brimming with wonderful treasures...and guess what...she's a wonderful treasure too!
I want an Amanda! What are her different themes?

Crikey, what a fabulous stall. I'd just hand over my purse if Amamda's stall was at our market! If only she had a website - don't suppose she does, does she? I'm lusting after candy striped pillowcases!
Really enjoying the 'picture a day project' Jane. Do hope Tom's university interview went well.

Hi Jane!
Amanda's stall is brilliant. I was wondering the same thing as Steph - do you have a website Amanda?
(Hi Marisa! Hope you're okay. I always read your comments and they make me smile).
Take care,

Let's have an Amanda Fest. I love her stall too. Can she come to Oz? I'd love to visit her website. Have another lovely day. A thousand blessings upon you. Joy

compelling....makes me want to dive in and search for treasure. When I see stacked linens, I go nuts and get lost for hours , sorting through them.

I would spend days in front of that stall, and not leave until I had remortgaged everything. Perhaps it's just as well I don't have access to her wonderful merchandise. I am so unable to resist anything.
Enjoy your weekend.

Indeed this is wonderful! Where is tne "German Amanda" over here??? If we had something like this so wonderful, all her things would be sold in a day, an hour, a minute, a second....Absolutely amazing, Jane, you lucky girl, you...
Have a nice weekend

One of the reasons I strictly limit my trips to Totnes ;)

Lovely! Oh to find a market with such treasures! That bread box is so cool. I have wanted one of those for so long. Of course, the Cath bag is the perfect touch to such a sweet scene!

Amanda is fast becoming very famous as we (all of us here in Devon)descend on her, regularly.
Lovely photos! Love,Sal;-)

Hello Jane,
i've missed you sweetie, as i havent been able to read as many blogs lately. but am starting to feel a bit better and had to pop by and catch up and there's so many wonderful photos on your site!!its like i stored them up and having a good browse all in one go, like flicking through a much anticipated copy of Country Living but Better! i wish your place was just around the corner and i could join your knitting and crochet club at yours,perhaps we should all get webcams and join up that way!but its not quite the same is it.
i love this stall,everyone should have someone locally like amanda,she puts so much care into her displays.it was a delight to see,thankyou, as was the shop on the post above,greengate and cath kidston all under one roof,amazing,nothing comes close here,not that i have found yet anyway. i know what you mean about taking photos of things in cafes,people do think your odd and give you a funny glance but i don't care either! Its my one year anniversary at Secrets of a Butterfly today! love and wishes Kat x
