Firstly, I would like to thank you for your lovely comments on the new Pin Board addition to Vintage Home - you are all so kind!
At last we are having some super Summer weather (although I have heard the forecast isn't looking great for the next few days!) I took advantage of the sun and spent some time outside filming the new stock for the shop. I just had to share these lovely ladies with you! The photo above is the lid of an old Burton's biscuit tin - isn't she a honey?!!
The enigmatic young lady above is a wonderful old print - a very different era and look - but just as beautiful!
I have a penchant for the old hollywood movies and when I saw this stunning eiderdown I couldn't resist it - Bette Davis would have loved it I'm sure!
I have been very fruitful in my search for vintage treasures and I'm look forward to adding the next batch of goodies over the coming weeks.
To end on a very happy note, I am feeling rather chuffed (have I heard someone else say that recently, it's a lovely word, makes me think of a bird puffing out his feathery chest!) that Alison and Monika have bestowed the Nice Matters Award on me. Thank you ladies! There are so many brilliant bloggers and blogs out there! I know the Summer is a busy time for everyone and I think it's wonderful that you all take the time to share a piece of your life, art and home with everyone! Enjoy the rest of your week - whatever the weather!
Wonderful finds as always and that award couldn't have gone to a nicer person.

Hi Clare. I LOVE the rose print! I'm so glad that you stopped by on the right day and got to see it! I love your old pictures of the gals in your blog today! I really adore the old pin-up style pictures! Blessings... Polly (p.s. I was as shocked as you that the print arrived so quickly! Post within the US takes longer than that!)

ReplyDeleteThank you so very much Clare,but you are great too! That is why you deserve this award, because you care and share so much beautiful art. Today is a day honouring beautiful ladies i see, they look so graceful. I could feel a tough of old Hollywood glamour there for a second, and the hair, fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWe haven`t been very fortunate with the weather either, but it does not matter really. I have enough to do, though i really would like to spend more time in the garden. I have to trim it every week now because it seems to have gotten flourish vitamins from rainy and sunny days.
Do you have more rainy than sunny days in England?
And another question, i have always wonderd if Scotland is an independant state?
That`s all for now. Enjoy the days and keep up the good work Clare :)
Hi Clare,
ReplyDeleteLove your latest finds....as you know I have a 'thing' for flapper girl images, but that beautiful girl with the red hair is stunning too.
Well done on the 'nice' award!

Old Hollywood...love the glamor!
ReplyDeleteAnd Pink~who doesn't love pink...
Well done on your award. The pink quilt is definitely the stuff of Hollywood glamour, my first thought was Marilyn Monroe. And the girl on the Burton's biscuit tin is just gorgeous - wish I looked like that. It would need a face lift, a change of hair colour and a trip back in a time machine and even then it would be a case of dream on:)
ReplyDeleteHi Clare
ReplyDeleteWas going to add you to my list for the award but saw that you'd been awarded by someone else so didn't! Some great finds as always!
