A Pocketful of Posies at the Vintage Home Shop!


Vintage Carnations Talc Tin
 Summer is in full bloom here and a beautiful arrangement of (mainly!) floral themed vintage treasures have just been displayed in the Vintage Home Shop.  There are lots of lovely things to choose from, including paintings, textiles and a wide variety of the prettiest homewares; the 1940s garden pictured on a tray is one of our particular favourites!  Beautiful carnations are in bloom now and we have a superb vintage talc tin which is decorated with bright red carnations - this is complemented by a 1950s oil painting of carnations. There are anemones, roses, tulips and lavender, as well as baskets of fruit - you will find all of these summer delights decorating fabric, trays, aprons, paintings and more! Here are a few of those floral-themed beauties - lots more to see in the shop!

This is a framed embroidery of roses in a bowl - immaculately handstitched and brimming with magnificent colour.

Roses Book
An antiquarian book - aptly titled 'Roses' - is full of superb illustrations of the rose in history, art and literature - a real must-have for the rose-lover!

Vintage Eiderdown
Of course there are other types of flowers too - this sumptuously plump eiderdown is covered with dahlias and lilacs against the prettiest blue background.

This miniature 'dummy board' is in the form of a crinoline lady, complete with floral bouquet.

Black and White Kitten Print
There are several prints and paintings too, including this sweet little chap.

French Garden Seat Cover
The keen-eyed amongst you, will know that we updated the shop with stock earlier in June - but we were in such a whirl we didn't have time to post about it here and then when the dust settled most of the items had sold so we thought it would be unkind to show too many things which had already sold! We endeavour to update Facebook and Twitter too, so if you're not on our mailing list, then please check them or this blog for details of the latest stock - alternatively, if you join the mailing list, you will be among the first to know (and you'll get a discount on your first order!) See you all again soon!

Defining Vintage Florals at Vintage Home

A beautiful selection of vintage stock has just arrived in the Vintage Home shop! We are often told that we have become well known for our variety of vintage textiles, in particular those with a floral theme. The wonderful thing about flowers is that they come in so many styles; indeed, there is something to suit everyone, from the delicate florals of the 1940s to the eye-catching abstracts of the 1950s. Our textiles span the decades from the late 1800s through to the 1960s - so there is plenty of choice for everyone. Of course, we also have a wide rage of floral-themed homewares, paintings and specially selected quilts and eiderdowns, so you can adorn every part of your home with the genuine vintage appeal of pretty flowers.
