We went to an antiques fair in Derby today, The fair wasn't great but it was set in the grounds of Keddleston Hall, The Hall has been used in films and is owned by the National Trust, The grounds go on for miles around.

That's a beautiful scenery.

That's a beautiful scenery.

The photos don't really do it justice, The family that owned the house and grounds must have been really wealthy, There's miles and miles of parkland and the old boathouse is still there but the fair was in the way, When you enter the gates it's a one mile drive before you even see the house, You can really imagine how it would have been with carriages driving along there through the trees.

It's a beautiful exterior and grounds. Was the house open for tours when you were there?

No, I think you have to book for those.

The house even had its own little church

My Yukka flowers just once a year and they don't last very long, I think the flowers are beautiful.

Here is my latest antiques hunt find, I have collected sewing antiques for years but I've never seen one of these before, It is Hallmarked for Joseph Gloster Ltd, Birmingham 1910, I have scoured the internet but as yet haven't found another one, I would love to see another with original tools.
I have added the silver scissors and silver thimble in the second photo, The velvet around the base is for pins.
