New finds…..

Mum and I went for a day out this week, and I found these lovelies.

All vintage

and the most fabulous 50’s panel, South of France, Venice?

Even though there is too much red in this for me I may have to keep the smaller panel for a huge cushion, it is just so happy and sunny.

Lastly I found this lovely off white Edwardian garland, the lady told me that it was a bridal waist corsage. It is very small and I can wear it as a headband or neckpiece. Should I keep it, sell it or split it down for individual flowers?

The girls have made a lovely silver/pink/cream romantic display without being overtly "Valentines"

Please forgive the self indulgence today, but it takes a while to get the right look, I have been thinking for a while of how to utilise the sloping walls. Michael and I have taken wires across so that I can hang fabric but hold it back. I have chosen Liberty & barkcloth in greens & yellows.

I have dressed my mannequin in a really long piece of Sanderson screenprinted fabric with a long piece of 1930's silk polka dot at the waist.

I decided to display both of the "Singer" tables rather than one at a time because I think that they would be wasted in a garden and would make great console tables.

Now for the rest of the shop, there are a lot of pictures, as since I went in on Thursday the stock has turned around. The units are kept very smart & topped up which makes every visit interesting.
