Hornsea Saffron ware

yes you see lots of these but this one has no text, just the pattern so you can use it for anything!
now in my vintage shop

Pink elephants on parade!

Having visited a local vintage fair at the weekend I was inspired to tidy up my vintageuk shop and add some things that have been patiently waiting for photos. So among other things out came this childs mug, so adorable and I am having the pleasure of its company in my workroom until it sells.

Breakfast anyone?

If there is anything to encourage you to eat a healthy breakfast its good china, I have an assortment of bowls old and new and so these finds have gone into my vintage shop. I really was in two minds about the top one, I love the design and the rim looks to be sponged and then the centre printed with colour hand painted. They both look a bit autumnal, in fact the top one is called October, but you know the weather here in the UK, autumn could start at any time!!

The second one is Midwinter and has a great rounded square shape to it , very vintage.

I am off to Hampton Court Flower Show on Sunday with friends, an annual event which I love so I should come back inspired and hopefully I might managed to remeber my camera!

Buckles

I came by these beautiful buckles the other day and have been photographing them today out in the garden. They are made of plastic but have the most wonderful pearly effect that makes them resemble mother of pearl.

I love the ice cream colours and was very tempted to keep them for myself, but I must resist.

So they are available here

My vintage store has seen a trickle of sales and is rather fun. I have had items included in treasuries and on blogs which is really lovely too!

Afternoon tea anyone?

My Rosy teacups from my VintageUK shop have been featured in a lovely treasury by sweetpea4kids. Do check it out it conjures up Afternoon tea in the British summertime perfectly and features some wonderful UK sellers. You can view it in its entirety here

Rosy teacups

Just wanted to share these images of some teacups I have listed in my vintageuk shop this evening.

They are soooo pretty.

and look! on the back there is a tiny rosebud.

Hopefully I shall be sewing tomorrow, hopefully some new purses.

VintageUK

I have a new shop as of today Vintage UK is open for trading on Etsy! Regular readers will know I am a fan of vintage and i have long pondered the idea of opening another shop to allow me to spend some time sharing finds from here in the UK.

So please stop by and have a look new things will be added in the next few days as time allows, I have already had a lot of international convos so it looks like it may be worthwhile.

Wish me luck!
