Well, here we are at the end of May! I don't really know where the last month has gone to as it has been a whirl of activity here at the cottage and at the Vintage Home website. Lots of exciting things have been happening here including some re-decoration, quirky purchases of the vintage-type and chance meetings with some wonderful people. I promise I will elaborate on all of this, and more, throughout the coming months! I'm also hoping to spend some relaxation time in the garden during June, appreciating the many flowers; isn't that rose a beauty? After several days of wet and dreary weather, it was a treat to be able to get outside and photograph the signs that Summer really is on its way!
This is a nice little spot, don't you think? I look forward to sitting here with a cold drink and a good read.
We have lots of these wild gladioli growing the garden, such a pretty colour...
One of my all-time favourite cottage garden flowers, the sweet william...
Here are the geraniums in the greenhouse, they are just about ready to plant out into their terracotta pots.
Despite the recent wet weather, we have been out and about gathering together lots of vintage stock for the website. There are some pretty additions which reflect the season ahead; this delightful green and cream basket is so sweet...
...these stunning curtains are covered in carnations!
This pretty lamp has a wonderful floral shade...
...and this 1950s chair is covered in gorgeous roses!
This is the star of the show though; a Victorian prie dieu with original fine hand embroidery - exquisite roses, of course!
A really big thank you to every one who has recently purchased from the shop and I hope you enjoy your browse at the latest goodies. I think I might have that little sit-down now - have a wonderful weekend and week ahead!
Such lovelies to look at. Thanks for posting the pics. Made me smile.

ReplyDeleteHow funny, I've just written almost and identical post title today! I love your blue chair. Looks like the perfect place to enjoy the sun. I've got a little table and chair in the garden which I'm wanting to paint and I was dithering between sage green or blue. I think you've just swung it to blue!

ReplyDeleteA food processors are a kitchen device used to facilitate various repetitive tasks in the process of the preparation of food. Nowadays, the term is almost always relate to an electric motor driven device, even though there are some manual devices also known as "the food industry".
ReplyDeleteFood processors are similar to blenders in many ways. The main difference is that the food processing industry uses swappable blades and disks (attachments) instead of a fixed blade. Their bowls are wider and shorter, a more appropriate form for the solid or semi-solid foods usually works in a food processor. Usually little or no liquid is required in the operation of the food processor as opposed to a blender, which requires some amount of the liquid to move the particles around its leaf.
The functions of food processors that normally consists of:
* The spinoff / chopping vegetables
* Grinding items such as nuts, seeds (such as spices), meat or dried fruit
* The demolition of the grating of cheese or vegetables
* Puree
* The mixing and kneading dough
Many sites that provided food processors, but I recommended http://wize.com/food-processors to you.
There are many kinds of food processors. There are kind of baby food, quick food preparation, pure, all uses, sauce and many more. So, let you check it
