The Fall Fair: Show and Tell

Bumped into Scott and Lauren at the Jordanhill Fall Fair yesterday. Inside Scott's vintage case was a long green mohair coat he'd just bagged himself, looked in amazing condition.

Didn't do badly myself either.
 In a 60s style...

Yippee!

Also took a punt on a commercial espresso maker for a tenner. I have previous when it comes to shiny machines... 

Once picked up a beautiful chrome Kirby vacuum cleaner in a charity shop, turned out to be a bit of a beast if you've only got floorboards so I gave it to a mechanic friend who converted it into a sander. That Kirby must hate me, after years of being kept in a dark cupboard, it now happily resides in 'semi-retirement' sanding down yachts in Sardinia. True story. 

Spent today cleaning up my new toy up and firing 'blanks' of water before the first espresso.


Not much 'crema' but the kitchen smells amazing. If you did pop along to the Fall Fair, I hope you were lucky too.
