A Whole Lot of Loveliness...

The fabulous Etsy remains a constant inspiration... just look at this amazing hand-crocheted dress and these absolutely gorgeous vintage shoes!

Tea Dance anybody?

 

Off to the Beach?

If only!

This gorgeous image, featuring our best-selling BEACH LIFE cushion, was styled by the lovely Selina Lake for Country Homes and Interiors magazine.  The bright, bold colours always make me think of summer holidays on the beach.  All very rockpools, flip-flops, deckchairs and beach huts!

So we will keep wishing and who knows... maybe!

A Vintage Bowl Full of Summer

What can be better than a breakfast of Dorset cereal [we are absolutely determined to win one of those campervans!] and blueberries all served up in a fabulous vintage bowl.  I recently sourced some lovely vintage cups, saucers, plates and bowls for the shop but these handpainted bowls are sooo beautiful, I just couldn't bear to part with them.  They are old but have no makers marks so I have no idea who manufactured them...

Small is Beautiful...

A sneak preview of our just launched Vintage Mini's Range.  We have had great fun developing some of our most popular designs for a smaller [30x30cm] cushion.  Each one individually designed, from our constantly changing collection of vintage linen, and handmade in our workshops in GB, we think they are great for both giving and collecting...

What a Week!

Our fantastic VINTAGE SUMMER SALE has been on for almost a week and we have had a fabulous response both in store and online.  Our twice yearly sales are always popular.  It's our way of rewarding our lovely customers, for all their support, as well as giving us the chance to refresh the store with lots of new, and interesting, home accessories and vintage finds.  This sale has been no exception and things are selling out fast, so if you are after 'something lovely' at a great price...

A Window for Summer...

Yesterday I spent a few happy hours designing new window displays for the shop.  Feeling very summery [it's amazing what a bit of sunshine will do to a person], I went for a bright, garden-party look complete with wonderful, vintage French day bed, piles of gorgeous linen cushions, in zingy citrus colours, all topped off with a rainbow of paper lanterns!
