christmas is coming...so everyone tells me!!!!

This week was Country Living at the Design Center in Islington London .. my good friend and I went on our usual bi- annual visit to have a very girlie day out , great fun, lots to see, lovely lunch and tired feet all the usual stuff....always worth a visit.

Just thought I`d give a peep of some of the most recent stuff in my shop...including kitchenalia from the 20`s through to the 60`s ....................some peggy fairies................ a lovely old mini chest of drawers...the most beautiful velvet ball gown ..from the late 1930`s early 1940`s very gothic !

a new addition to the cushions vintage purple tweed with a hand knitted foxglove with a little bee about to visit.. I have been trying to get a few christmas decorations up in the shop but as i have collected vintage decs they are at present quite sparse but working on it .. have a good weekend ...Hx

My Beach theme window
after a fab holiday in st Ives Cornwall i had to do something beachy holiday.

More cushions!
recently i have found some lovely old embroidery and have transformed into some" accent"
cushions , i did have some vintage fabric union jack style but i have sold them before i managed to photograph them (forgot my camera)

The invasion of the lavender bunnies

The Lavender Bunnies!
Thought I would introduce the newest additions to my shop,
they are all made from vintage french, English or Kath Kidston fabrics with button eyes and bobtails. stuffed with some lavender added. perfect for keeping in your drawers (preferably when your not wearing them !) i thought they would also be good to keep those special baby clothes you cannot bare to part with fresh smelling of Lavender. although ,altogether like this they look a little bit like the village of the dammed (bunny verson)
