new vintage finds

By -



We have lots to share on our little blog this new year - beautiful handmade things bought online over the Christmas period, new inspiration, new artwork and of-course my never ending hobby -new vintage finds. I went off to an amazing trash and treasure market a few weeks ago (I snuck out of the house early while my family was till sleeping) and here are a few of my finds. 1) bright new addition to my ever expanding tea towel collection 2) swan planter and pretty milk jug 3) and my best find of the day -a silver urn found at the bottom of a pile of old stuff which I picked up for a bargain!

And also a very big thank you to Peta from Mathilda's Market Blog who did a lovely interview of us at Sweet William, a great way to start the year!

That is why we have listed these pretty tags in our Etsy shop . They are digital downloads for your own personal use. For best results print onto thick matte craft paper (Canon do a great Matte Photo Paper in 170g/m), cut out with craft knife, round corners if you have a corner cutter and finally use a single hole punch to make a whole for your own pretty ribbon. Because we love gift giving so much we thought we would do a little give away! Simply leave a comment on our blog and you could be in line for receiving any 2 digital downloads for free! Giveaway open until Friday the 2nd November. UPDATE:  Congratulations - Two Cheecky Monkeys is the winner of our tag downloads!  Thank you all for playing and we wish we could have sent you all our new tags you are such a love...

I had Contry Style Magazine come and do a shoot at my home in May... a few months later and the issue finally hits the shelves. Yay! I am very pleased with the way it all turned out. Sharyn Cairns took some wonderful photographs and captured our home beautifully, while Virginia Imhoff wrote a lovely piece about all the bits and pieces in our home and how much we have traveled etc. The ' where there's tea there's hope ' print got a big feature in the shoot and on the editors letter, which we are so pleased about and the orders have already coming rolling in. Ooooh I must say it is quite a thrill to see my own home and work in print, I am most flattered!
