Personalised handmade house name sign

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
Name your house

Name your house

If your house has a name, either in addition to a number or as an alternative to it, ensuring the name is displayed clearly can really make a difference for helping postmen and visitors successfully find your home.

Signs like this one are handmade to order from Delightful Living, on Not On The High Street. They make the signs from reclaimed wood, which is gently distressed to give it a vintage feel. The exact size of the sign will vary depending on the length of the name you’d like put on it and you can choose whether you want the words in one single line, or split over two lines.

When the signs are finished, they are waterproofed wtih a clear matt seal, so they’re protected from the elements.

The personalised house name sign is £40 and you can find out more at their store at Not On The High Street.

Plumo large patchwork pumpkin pouf

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010
Vintage fabric pouf

Vintage fabric pouf

Plumo have just launched their new Spring/Summer 2010 collection and we’ve fallen in love with this large patchwork pumpkin pouf.

Made in Denmark from a random selection of vintage velvet, floral and striped fabrics, the large pumpkin shaped pouf is ideal for use as an occasional seat, footstool or floor cushion.

The eclectic piece measures 70cm by 30cm and serves a practical purpose, as well as being great to look at. You can’t guarantee exactly which fabrics will have been used in each one, but that just adds to its charm.

The only slight downside is the price (£198, eek), so it looks like we’ll be saving up for a while. Go check it out for yourself at Plumo.

Bombay Duck reduced vintage chandelier

Monday, February 22nd, 2010
Vintage Lolita chandelier

Vintage Lolita chandelier

Bombay Duck is one of my favourite shops and I love exploring all the new door handles, hooks and other gorgeous homeware that they’ve got in stock.

They’re renowned for having lovely chandeliers, although usually they’re a bit far out of my budget. But then this beauty caught my eye.

The bestselling vintage Lolita black chandelier, with crystal flowers, has been significantly reduced in price – down from £245 to £125. It’s adorned with tiny black beads, crystal cut flowers and crystal pendants and would look stunning hung from the ceiling.

I’m sorely tempted. What do you think?

green-gypsy-light     blue-gypsy-light

These unusual gypsy lights, available in  green or blue, have handpainted designs and are vintage in style.

They each have coloured fabric cords and measure 27.3cm and we think they’d look perfect for anyone creating a vintage room, or who likes unusual, eclectic styling.

Newgate antique look clock

Monday, January 11th, 2010
Antique style clock

Antique style clock

It may look years and years old but this clock is really a clever reproduction by clock specialists Newgate.

Based on a clock found at an antiques market, this version has a traditional convex metal dome and has been carefully printed to look aeons old.

We think it would suit a kitchen or lounge and you can snag it for £65 here.

Vintage candelabra

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009
Pretty fabulous candelabra

Pretty fabulous candelabra

Candelabras do not have to be stern pieces of table decor, highly polished and dragged out but once a year.

No, they should be delicate, slightly vintagey, strewn with flowers and perched on a dainty base.

It’s a reasonable £39 and we don’t see why it shouldn’t be out on the table all year round.

Find it at Bombay Duck.

Vintage decorative French bottles and jars

Thursday, October 29th, 2009
French-bottles2      Decorative French bottles    

If you love all things Vintage, old style bottles and fancy labels, then you’ll love these decorative French bottles and jars from Cologne and Cotton.

All the bottles and jars are sold empty, so you can add your own contents or simply use them for decorative purposes. The labels are reproduced from traditional French 19th century designs, similar to those found on old perfume bottles.

The vintage bottles are available in two sizes, 500ml (£25) and 1 litre (£30), with three designs to choose from, and the storage jars with lids are £25, with two designs on offer.

Vintage china at Patchwork Harmony

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

4-china-plates                  teacup-trio

We were reading the Patchwork Harmony blog earlier on and noticed that Caroline had written about uploading some new items to the vintage section of her shop.  Having a distinct soft spot for vintage items, we couldn’t help but rush off to have a look!

Patchwork Harmony have some lovely ‘one of a kind’ vintage finds and we couldn’t help but be seduced by the look of some of the china. Like this set of four china plates, with dainty purple and white flowers, for example. The plates have lovely gold rims and would be perfect for afternoon tea parties. There’s only one set of four available and they’re priced at £7.95.

If you’d like something to treat yourself with, then you could buy this china cup, saucer and plate set. Made by Royal Osborne, the trio set features pale blue and white flowers, with a subtle hint of pink. Again, only set is available, for £8.95.

If I hadn’t just purchased an entire vintage tea set, I could have been sorely tempted. There’s lots more besides china, like this floral patterned glass jug, enamel tea pot  and these fab vintage plaster tins, so go and have a look!

Capture the Castle home and garden products

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Floral heart hooks

Floral heart hooks

 One of the latest lovely shops we’ve discovered is Capture the Castle, based in Rochester, Kent (their name can’t help but remind me of the book I Capture the Castle, by Dodie Smith).

 
As well as being a bricks and mortar shop, they also sell many of their ‘inspirational products for your home and garden’, which are sourced from all over the world, online.
 
Here’s a taster of the delights on offer.
 
The floral red and white heart hooks (pictured above) are made of wood and metal. They measure 10.5cm by 18cm and offer a nice way of hanging up your keys, coats or even tea towels in your home.
 
The heart hooks are £5.90 each.
 
Vintage geranium seed tin

Vintage geranium seed tin

 This vintage galvanised seed tin is decorated with a geranium design and is useful for storing seeds in. The box measures 8cm by 10cm (would this fit a standard sized packet of seeds, we wonder?) and is £3.50.

Black metal wall tree Black metal wall tree

This lovely tree is made out of black metal and is designed to be hung from your wall. It looks great as it is, but its branches can hold pictures or postcards.

We think it would provide a great way of creating a visual family tree on your wall, linking pictures of your relatives together.

The black metal tree decoration is 22″ by 26″ and costs £39.99.

There’s of course lots more lovely products for sale on the Capture the Castle website, so go take a look!
