⭐️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 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! 🌽🍓🥕🍋🫑🍅🥕

Here, finally, is my tree! 🎄It & the process of decorating of it is one of my most favourite things in life. More is definitely more & there is always room for more antique baubles! 😉 As you can see there are still lots of presents underneath, waiting to be handed over to the loved ones we were unexpectedly unable to see... Purdey is thoroughly enjoying her new drinking hole so they may have the odd water dribble mark! 🐕 Thank you SO much for all your custom & incredible support - you’ve kept me very busy! Wishing you all a very Happy New Year, good riddance 2020 & here’s to vaccines & an infinitely better 2021 xxx

Pavlova anyone?! These stunning antique silver plated fish servers are also brilliant for serving pavlova or any other cake or tart for that matter... Their wide flat blades are perfect for the job & the fork is rather nifty at keeping the toppings in place. They are so incredibly beautiful that I defy anyone not to enjoy the sense of occasion & elevated status they create - why buy a boring cake slice from John Lewis when you can have a repurposed showstopper like these?! I’ve got 5 fabulous sets in stock - just look at the amazing ones with teeny tiny stars all over the handles ⭐️⭐️!! They’re all on my website in ‘Tableware’ or DM for details... ⭐️Stars SOLD⭐️

These gorgeous vintage air bubble single stem vase

These gorgeous vintage air bubble single stem vases are available as 2 separate sets but I was playing around with them yesterday trying to take a good piccy & look how wonderful they are sitting together on this simple slim antique mirrorplate - perfect down the centre of a dining or coffee table & so modern & contemporary in feel. They are also brilliant on a mantelpiece as don’t take up too much room. Having enjoyed them all together on my kitchen table all weekend I now feel it would be dreadful to split them up! Would make a wonderful present as a complete set... Please see my website or DM for details...⭐️ALL SOLD⭐️

⭐️SOLD⭐️ Fabulous Pair of French Silver Pl

⭐️SOLD⭐️ Fabulous Pair of French Silver Plated Triple Candlesticks. These are particularly stunning examples & I especially like this shape because if you place them widthways on your table as opposed to lengthways they don’t actually take up much room but you get lots of candlelight. They are also low, unlike most candelabras, which means the candles aren’t too high so you can still see your guests opposite - win win! I don’t really want to sell them if I’m honest as they are such beauties but husband will divorce me if I keep any more in the house....sigh... DM or see my website for details.

Boring but ⭐️IMPORTANT MESSAGE⭐️ I am having major problems with my email - for some reason I end up in a lot of your junk folders. Especially if I send an attachment like photos which of course I do a lot. My IT expert (who happens to be my wonderful brother Hamilton - jolly nifty having an IT guru in the family!) is complete baffled by it & can’t fix it. So if you have sent me an email & it looks like I haven’t replied I promise you I have but I might be lurking in your junk mail so please do check - thank you for your patience!

A Plethora of Pedestals! An antique or vintage gla

A Plethora of Pedestals! An antique or vintage glass pedestal stand is the most wonderful way to display fruit on a kitchen island or sideboard. Pile it high with clementines or mince pies or chocolate brownie squares at Christmas! Their elevated status brings height & interest and as the base is smaller you have more space around it underneath so it’s a win win. I have lots in stock at the moment in all shapes & sizes so have a look at my website or DM for details (the striped Baccarat beauty in the centre is now SOLD sorry)...

When the LOVLIEST of friends unexpectedly sends yo

When the LOVLIEST of friends unexpectedly sends you flowers at 8.20pm on a Friday night in lockdown... There really is NOTHING better than flowers out of the blue to bring joy, especially such beautiful pink tulips - she knows me so well! It also helped that I had so many vases to choose from having just dug them all out! This beautiful urn is possibly sold but I thought there was no harm in showing it off one last time before it goes off to it’s new owner... Thank you SO much my gorgeous friend (you know who you are) I simply had to share them with you all & wish you a very Happy Sunday xx

The mighty Victorian Celery Vase - told you I had

The mighty Victorian Celery Vase - told you I had some beauties! I confess I actually loathe raw celery (wish I didn’t given its calorie negative!!) but don’t mind it cooked to a pulp in a recipe so I do occasionally use mine for celery but I use them FAR more for flowers. They make the most beautiful flower vases - pop it on a mirrorplate on your dining table or sideboard - perfection! My other top tip is to keep asparagus in them - just a little water at the bottom so that the tips are only just covered & it keeps fresh for ages... I sell so many of these at this time of year as they make the most wonderful present. A couple in the main pic have now sold but they are all up on my website or DM for details... I’ve got some fabulous big ones & the most beautiful PAIR - never had a pair before, just lovely...

Made it! My mantra has always been quality not qua

Made it! My mantra has always been quality not quantity (unless it’s a collection of course, in which case it’s definitely both!!) & for many on Instagram 1000 followers is not a lot but I have been beavering away, working hard, gradually gathering QUALITY followers who have turned not just into customers but loyal, repeat customers & in many cases wonderful new friends. I don’t advertise or do sponsored posts so I am very proud to have hit this milestone. So a huge THANK YOU to all my wonderful followers, I am very thankful for you all - I’m now off to dance a little early morning jig around my kitchen island & may even put a little fizz in my OJ! 💃🥂💃🥂💃🥂💃🥂💃🥂💃🥂💃
