Jewel colours glinting on my draining board this afternoon... 💗💚💙 I am busily washing everything by hand before logging & pricing, not only because they are generally filthy when I find them (!) but also because it gives me a chance to give them a thorough inspection for chips & cracks. I’ve already found a couple of casualties but better it happens to me than a disappointed customer. Not long to go now...!

⭐️SOLD⭐️ Spectacular HUGE Vintage Italian

⭐️SOLD⭐️ Spectacular HUGE Vintage Italian Majolica Bamboo & Rabbit Jug. Measures a whopping 28cm high by 25cm wide from spout to tail but the measurements somehow don’t do it’s size justice - it really is a whopper & it really is spectacular! The green chocolate egg is the same size as a large normal egg to give you a sense of scale. The darling bunny handle does have a little bit of damage - glaze loss on the tail & one ear, not chips, just glaze loss (swipe to see closeups) but this is no way detracts from its beauty - it’s perfect in every other way. Talk about showstopper on your Easter Table! DM for details as it’s not on my website 🌿🐇🌿

⭐️SOLD⭐️ Easter is nearly here... I adore

⭐️SOLD⭐️ Easter is nearly here... I adore these vintage hand painted wooden Easter eggs, I’ve been collecting them for years (yes another collection). They are Eastern European & look so pretty & colourful grouped together in a bowl on your Easter table. I will post a separate listing for the eggs which are all for sale but this lovely antique white lattice dish is French & used to have little feet but at some point in its past they have been broken off. It sits perfectly flat however, no wobbling so unless you knew you’d never know! Measures 23cm wide by 11cm high. DM if you’d like to purchase

It’s an absolute cracker & as ever I will shed a tear when it goes... See my website or DM for details...

💚 Flowers for Mothers Day 💚 My darling mum m

💚 Flowers for Mothers Day 💚 My darling mum moved into a care home in September last year. Her health is sadly deteriorating due to a very rare condition called CBD (Corticobasal Degeneration). I haven’t seen her since November & she’s not allowed fresh flowers due to Covid restrictions in the home so I sent her this photo instead of the flowers I arranged for her birthday party in our garden last August. Today, however, was a VERY special day as I actually went inside her care home & spent a joyous, wonderful hour with her which was ‘better than all the flowers in Covent Garden’! As you can see we are grinning so hard that our eyes have closed! Being separated from our loved ones has been torturous for everyone but there is a light at the end of the tunnel so here’s to vaccines & being able to hug them tight very soon... xx 💚

⭐️SOLD⭐️ Wonderful LARGE Vintage Wedgwood

⭐️SOLD⭐️ Wonderful LARGE Vintage Wedgwood Green Hunting Jug with the crispest of relief moulding. I see a lot of these jugs but they are always smaller & not nearly as crisply detailed - it literally leaps out at you & the gorgeous dog handle is so comfy & tactile in the hand so it is a joy to use as well as admire. I would fill it with flowers & admire away... Measures 18.5cm high by 20cm wide. On my website (click link in bio) or DM for details...

⭐️SOLD⭐️ Mimosa Firework! I am fortunate e

⭐️SOLD⭐️ Mimosa Firework! I am fortunate enough to have a next door neighbour with a Mimosa tree & this year we have the most enormous branch of it hanging over into our garden, so much in fact that it needed trimming. Too good to waste, I filled this ENORMOUS Spode blue & white jug with it. You simply cannot get a true sense of the scale despite the lemons 🍋 This jug is absolutely gargantuan (31cm high by 35cm wide) & would look simply stunning sitting on the hall table of a country house or large kitchen island. It isn’t that old, definitely vintage rather than antique but it’s a showstopper & I’ve never seen another... DM or see my website for details...

💗 Love Triangle 💗 It doesn’t get much bett

💗 Love Triangle 💗 It doesn’t get much better than a trio of matchstrikers. You don’t have to be an addict like me (!) you can just have one & it will look beautiful but a trio in 3 different sizes is just 👌🏻. They come in all sorts of shapes, sizes & colours of glass - some are tinged with grey, some yellow & some white - I personally have a mixture of them all but if you are more disciplined than me & can stick to just a few, if you pick 3 different sizes with the same hue they look absolutely amazing - swipe to see what I mean. These first 3 are tinged with grey & the following 3 are white... Whether plain & elegant or patterned & characterful they are all beautiful & I’ve got lots in stock at the moment so do have a look at my website or DM for details...💗Hope you’ve all had a lovely Valentines Day xx💗

🌸 SOLD 🌸 Pink for Valentines weekend 🌸 “The Sailor’s Tear” 🌸 This is a HUGE pink lustre Maritime Sunderland jug with gorgeous squiggles all over. It’s an absolute WHOPPER (24cm high by 29cm wide) hence the matchstriker to give you a sense of scale. The handle has been repaired in spectacular stapled fashion which I think is part of its beauty & is so well done it really is a marvel of engineering! The background is very definitely cream in colour rather than white, the body is in incredible perfect condition, no chips or cracks whatsoever & as you can see it looks absolutely stunning filled with flowers! 🌸 DM or see my website for details...

Sunday Lunch - table for two. I am missing entertaining friends & family so much today that I decided to cheer myself up by setting the table for Sunday lunch as if we were entertaining guests. I also found lots of gorgeous hellebores growing in the garden so dusted off my giant swan planter & mixed them in with supermarket tulips so I can now be cheered all week long! It’s the pleasure in small things that will get us through this eternal lockdown... Happy Sunday everyone, hope you are all hanging in there as best as you can & here’s to the day when we can all be together again xx 🌷🦢🌷

Did I mention I collect antique Christmas decorati

Did I mention I collect antique Christmas decorations...?!! I know, I’m an addict, I admit it, but when they’re this beautiful can you blame me?! Happy Friday everyone - WELL DONE for getting through the first week of lockdown #3 🏆🏆🏆

I bought these vintage crackers at the very last a

I bought these vintage crackers at the very last antiques fair I went to, between lockdowns - almost squealed when I found them - the colours!! 🌈 There is one missing which I find most intriguing - red perhaps? Even the plain shiny silver box is divine... Am literally desperate to pull one to find out what’s inside - for the joke as much as the gift! But of course I won’t be pulling them, they’re just too good to pull. I placed them on my Christmas tree for some much needed cheer up colour 🌈🎄🌈 Apologies for bombarding you with Christmas decorations in January - I meant to do it in December but was so frantic shipping out all your lovely orders I didn’t have time & then collapsed in an exhausted heap over the holidays so decided I’d do it now instead - after all I think we all need a bit of cheer up colour at the moment...🌈

Still deconstructing Christmas... This first image

Still deconstructing Christmas... This first image is my collection of giant baubles & witches balls. They are getting harder to find now & are very expensive when I do so I can only treat myself to a few a year - patience is definitely a virtue in the antiques business! I’ve placed my very very favourite standard sized bauble on the pink blanket next to the box to give you a sense of scale... The large walnut & pine cones were new additions this year & I’m thrilled with them - they are particularly good for filling large gaps near the trunk of the tree. Then follows a little selection of my top faves - the one with the star is the reverse of the one in the first pic - I just love it, although the gorgeous basket of flowers comes a very close 2nd... They are all made of glass but are light as a feather, almost paper thin so extremely delicate - I literally hold my breath when handling them & it takes ages to pack them away - needless to say there are often casualties (although happily not this year) & I don’t put any around the bottom of the tree - madam 🐕 doesn’t have quite the same respect for them as she makes her way to her seasonal drinking hole!

Deconstructing Christmas... This is my collection

Deconstructing Christmas... This is my collection of antique fruit & veg baubles. I confess - I am completely addicted to antique Christmas decorations! I simply adore them & have been slowly collecting them one by one for years. This year I finally had enough fruit & veg to decorate a small tree in the kitchen - no photo of the tree I’m afraid, ran out of puff, collapsed in a heap of exhaustion but next year I’ll have hopefully added more to the collection & promise to show you the tree! 🌽🍓🥕🍋🫑🍅🥕
