A summers day at the antiques market

The Vintique Tree stocks were getting low, so, a urgent sourcing mission was needed! Any excuse is good enough to head to an antiques fair so today we took a trip over to the decorative antiques and home show in Lincolnshire, check out our day in photo form! Sorry about the quality they were on my phone!

Some of the goodies I found today...

Pennies spent well at the antiques fair

Well I got a good haul of lovely things to add to my Christmas stock from Stoneleigh Antiques fair.  I had never visited this fair before and is a good size if you just fancy a few hours browsing unlike the other larger fairs where you could stay all day!

I found a lovely vintage sewing basket, some 1970's fabric samplers, vintage tins, a fab royal winton tea set, a hand painted tea pot, a gorgeous Liberty of London purse and wallet set and my personal favourite, a retro cat egg cup!!!

Patchwork pretty, funking knitting, cute crochet, god save the queen!!

I am updating my website at the moment to a new layout to make it easier to use and look a lot more sleeker.  It is a constant evolution as I learn new things and pick up on things that need updating and changing, I think I have come on leaps and bounds really, being as I didn't have a clue on how to even start building a website at the start of this year!

So in preparation for the new website going live this week, I have some new stock I am going to be adding to the site, so I thought I would share some of my new blankets with you! All handmade lovelies!! Oh and a GIANT 9FT vintage Union Jack! 

Gatsby style luxury coffee set

With everything Great Gatsby at the minute (super excited for the movie) I HAD to purchase this gorgeous 1960's Phoenix Portmerion coffee set.  It is so decadent even though it is from the sixties it really reminded me of an art deco era I can totally imagine Gatsby sipping from this! Plus it is in pristine condition, not a chip, crack or scratch! I am in love!

It will be available on my website soon...if I can bear to part with it ;-)
