Since opening my online shop in February, I have been thrilled with the response from everyone and it is really wonderful to know that a purchase from Vintage Home is something that many treasure!
I often receive lovely emails from people who have purchased from my shop, so I have decided to add a new feature to the website. Today, I am launching the Vintage Home Pin Board which includes feedback plus photos of your own 'Vintage Moments'. Also on show are photos of items that have been purchased from the website, and how they look in their new homes! If you would like to email me your 'vintage home' photos, whether it is a favourite corner, a recently completed craft project with a vintage theme or just something beautiful you would like to share, then I will add them to the Pin Board - with full credits of course! The Below Stairs section will also reside within the Pin Board and will be updated in the coming month. Finally, you will find a link to my Vintage Home blog within the Pin Board too!
A favourite corner of my home.
Handstitched Welsh quilt.Running an online shop means I go treasure hunting on a regular basis and I have just returned from a trip where I have gathered together some of the most beautiful things! It will take a few days for me to get them all photographed and added to the shop, so to whet your appetite, above is a sneak preview of one of those gorgeous items coming soon; a stunning handstitched Welsh quilt with an exquisite pattern of peonies, roses, birds and dragonflies - what a rare beauty this is!
In the meantime, I have updated the shop with a smattering of pretty eiderdowns and truly, absolutely gorgeous barkcloth curtains! Which reminds me - I am often asked how I can bear to part with the things I sell. Well, I can tell you quite honestly - it isn't easy!!! But I do mean it when I say it gives me real pleasure to know that these wonderful old things find a place in your homes - and your hearts.
I'd like to thank all of you for your custom and kind words and I look forward to bringing you lots more vintage goodies! Now it's back to work for me!
What a wonderful idea to showcase photos of how your customers use your pretties.. I love that idea! Gorgeous Gorgeous things you have!

It is so nice when customers take the trouble to let us know how pleased they are with their purchases and customers then become email friends. That's the good thing about selling vintage items - our customers are such nice people! I see we share some customers too!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a good idea-it's going to be fun browsing at that page! Love that glimpse of your bedroom! x
ReplyDeleteYour full of wonderful ideas for your website and you find such lovely things to sell. Really, really like that barkcloth.

Hi Clare
ReplyDeleteNo, don't still have the budgie! Don't be silly!! But when my grandfather died mum gave the bird to gran. Then it had to have a friend, then it died so the friend had to have a friend and then gran died. Hmmm. Don't actually know what happened to the budgie after that.
But Rob bought Han two canaries for her 21st and within weeks they had babies! And thereby hangs another tale ...
