Roses, Roses, Roses!

We are thrilled with our roses this year. Although they are always a sight to behold, never before have these beauties grown so abundantly. We have taken time out to snap some photos for you, and couldn't resist adding in a few photos of some of our rosy textiles currently available on the website! Hope you enjoy our beautiful blooms!

The white rose above is Iceberg Climber and beneath it grows the exquisite Rosa Mundi, one of the oldest known striped roses. It brings to mind raspberry ripple ice cream!


This beautiful rose has the most divine perfume. Some years ago, we took a cutting from a 60 year old plant and was amazed it grew so well - we have since taken other cuttings which are becoming well established in the garden.


This is a definite favourite; the beautiful blowsy pink barkcloth rose! Available to buy in the shop!

Here is another amazing success story. This is a delicate pink rose with multiple blooms and was grown from a small cutting just a few years ago - it now fills a corner of the garden!



This delicate trailing briar rose is a real beauty and adorns a long length of unused eiderdown fabric, also for sale in the shop!

This lilac coloured rose is Harry Edland, a gorgeous rose with an exceptional and distinctive perfume; it smells of sherbet!

This deep pink-red rose is from an old oil painting we have for sale; it is a stunning, 100-year old, yard-long painting.

This is another big 'n' blowsy favourite of ours which has grown nearly 7 feet high this year!


We hope you liked the photos and would love to hear how your roses and flowers are doing this year!

Coming soon; the most Beautiful Vintage...

Apologies for the long gap between blog posts. We are currently preparing a huge amount of the most beautiful stock which will be coming to the website soon. We have also been very busy making some exciting new changes to the website; all will be revealed in a matter of days...

In the meantime, we thought you'd like a little taster of the gorgeous items we have for you. There are many stunning paintings and prints, including yard long Victorian paintings, a huge collection of the prettiest eiderdowns, and an incredible array of vintage textiles. This is possibly our most exciting collection of beautiful vintage to date. We know you don't like to miss out so we will send a Newsletter on update day to everyone on our mailing list - join us now if you haven't already.


Roses are everywhere, on paintings, prints and textiles.

There's plenty of pink too!

Of course, pink and paisley together is a match made in heaven...

...and this beauty brings the prettiness of a country garden into your bedroom.

The crisp and fresh apple green of this eiderdown is truly mouthwatering.

Those really are just a mere handful of our vintage goodies so we're sure there'll be enough to go round! We found time in between the preparations to take some photos of our beautiful roses and the beginnings of a bumper crop from one of our apple trees.










We'll be back soon with news of the update, in the meantime, enjoy some lazy Summer days!

Springtime Flora, Fauna and Fabulous New Stock - Plus a Great Giveaway!

The recent stretch of sunny days has brought the blossom and Spring flowers out in a fine display.


You only have to glance at all the beautiful blossom boughs and it is easy to see why the acclaimed Victorian artist Catherine Klein was inspired to paint such exquisite images of flora and fauna and blossom was one of her favourites.


It is lovely to see the bees at work.



The delicate, white-flowerering Springtime plant above is called The Bride - which is a very appropriate lead into our latest giveaway! Gail Abbott, author of many home and lifestyle books has presented Vintage Home with a signed copy of her book 'The Newlyweds' Guide to Setting Up Home' a wonderful book full of home-making ideas using a clever mix of vintage and contemporary styles.

Everyone who makes a purchase from the Vintage Home website during the month of May will be entered into our free prize draw for a chance to win this book. It would make a great wedding gift for a special couple - but if you're already married and have an established home, it is a great source of inspiration, providing fresh ideas if you fancy a change of decor!

We have added some beautiful stock to the website including a selection of pretty vintage eiderdowns...



...and quilts, something for everyone's style and taste!

We'll be back again soon with more news; here's to the Merry, Merry Month of May!

New Arrivals in The Shop!

We have added some incredibly beautiful items to the website today, including pretty mirrors and boudoir accessories.

Just to say...

We'd also like to thank you for the overwhelming response to our anniversary draw and update; thank you to everyone who has entered the prize draw and for the many orders we have received.
