The Vintique Tree Wedding


We had a wonderful wedding day at the seaside in wales at the end of June. The weather was lovely, all the plans fell in place and the start to my new married life was perfect! My wedding photographer Nicolette Wells who is based in North Wales did an incredible job and captured our day so we can look back and smile. She took hundreds of photos so I thought I would share some of my favourites with you...

It was such a fun day and the ladies that joined us were over the moon with there finished product and felt like they had learn our paint secrets! looking forward to the next one in August! here are a few snaps of the garden lunch and ladies at work!

Mediterranean moments

Its been a while since my last post as I have been busy getting hitched! Cant wait for the pictures to arrive but in the meantime thought I would share some of our mini-moon pictures with you, we went to one of favourite places in the world Mallorca. Every time we go we love the easy living, the fresh food, the people and the culture. We stopped in the east of the island and hired a car to explore. Next time you go step away from the obvious beach resorts and find the real Mallorca!





Along the wharf  fishermen fix their nets by hand. They plait the nets together - serious craftsmanship!


One of our favourite little town in Mallorca has the most amazing and pretty square perfect for a crepe and a cup of coffee!





This looks more like a French scene than Spanish! This is a tiny bar which has live jazz on Wednesday nights




We went to a look out point and added our lock to the railings, in a similar tradition to the pont de arts in Paris, it signifies your love...being as we just got married we thought we would part take!

The Sunshine is out and the Vintique Tree Shop is open!

So it has been incredibly 9 months today since I lost my voice way back in October, it feels like 9 years!! In a bid not to think about it, and focus on the positives, the sun has been shining and we moved into our new shop in Whitmoors Antiques and Craft Centre in Warwickshire today. 

It is exciting to have my stock on display in such a lovely place! More interesting news is that the BBC2 Antiques Roadtrip is visiting the centre tomorrow!

Thought I would share some pictures....









The first sale was this pretty green chair...





I love the penguins in the cabinet!
