Hello! I just wanted to pop up after a very long b

Hello! I just wanted to pop up after a very long break to say hi & to let you know that over the next couple of weeks I will be posting some treasure for sale in time for Christmas. I’m afraid I wasn’t able to have my Christmas Sale this year & my website is woefully neglected as I’ve been very busy with other things, mostly spending as much time as possible with my mother now that her care home has fully reopened & we finally have access to her room for the first time since she moved in a year ago. So apologies for being away from insta for so long but life just goes that way sometimes…
.
These photos were actually taken back in August (dress & dahlias a bit of a giveaway) but I never got round to posting them. They are of my newly wallpapered guest bathroom. We had a major leak on Jan 1st 2020 involving 3 floors of the house (a bad omen for the year to come if ever there was one!) & it took over a year to deal with the insurance & wait for builders but I decided to look for the silver lining & grabbed the opportunity to redecorate using wallpaper instead of paint as well as replace the wall lights with antique French ones I’ve waited 8 years to find & I’m absolutely thrilled with it - my guests will definitely be greeted with a rosy glow first thing in the morning!! Pictures & ‘stuff’ still waiting to go back on the walls but it’s getting there & is almost ready for guests - let’s just pray they’re actually allowed to stay this Christmas… 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
.
I do hope you are all very well, managing to keep warm & safe and keep an eye out for my postings if you don’t want to miss out - I’ve been doing lots of shopping! Cx

Just thought I’d pop up & say hello after a long

Just thought I’d pop up & say hello after a long Instagram absence. I’ve had some time out to focus on my darling Mum & have also just returned from a wonderful holiday in Wales. I will be back very soon with lots of treasure for sale but in the meantime I thought I’d share these 2 perfect mini pompom dahlias which greeted me on my return from holiday. I’m new to growing dahlias - I tried one last year & was so thrilled with the result that I’ve gone a bit crazy this year & have got so many varieties ready to burst that I’m obsessively checking them every day! This beautiful little Victorian urn vase is a Wales holiday purchase & a keeper I’m afraid, not for sale. It has an engraved lozenge on its side which means it can be dated precisely to January 1870 which is a particular thrill. As I say I’ll be back very soon but in the meantime I hope you are all very well & having a lovely summer! Cx

I’ve popped up! I’m at The Belmond Cadogan Hot

I’ve popped up! I’m at The Belmond Cadogan Hotel on Sloane Street till 7pm if you’re in the area… Very pleased with my new handmade tablecloth (handstitched the bullion fringe on yesterday - nothing like a deadline!) although now that the sun is shining again (YAY!) & currently pouring in through the windows I can see that’s it’s somewhat see through so you can see my boxes stashed underneath 🤣 I shall rectify that for my next sale!

Open for business! Happily the gazebos survived the downpour last night but there was heavy pooling along the edges of the roof which cascaded inside so the fish have had a swim & the jugs are full! On the plus side there were no breakages or damage & several teatowels later everything’s sparkly clean!! We’re here till 4pm so do pop along...

First day almost over! It’s been super HOT & bus

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...
