Lovely Frocks

...a sneak peek at some of the 6 glorious 1930's-1940's little girl's dresses I picked up at the Sunday Antique Market today. My heart skipped a beat as I saw these lying on a table. The gentleman who sells vintage cameras had gotten a box of these with his auction lot and wanted to dispose of them. Yes please! Many had already sold he said. If these were the lesser of the group I must have missed out on some amazing pieces. I never dwell on that thought though. In my world of the Sunday Market every item goes to the rightful person including myself... it's all good as they say!
I wasted no time in giving them a nice wash in the sink and hanging them in the sun to dry. Next step is a little mending where needed and then a good ironing.
Look for them in my vintage etsy shop very soon...

Glorious Vintage Tins

This beautiful collection of tins are pieces I picked up at one of my favorite dealers a couple of weeks ago. Gradually I am listing SOME of them. I, as usual, am not able to let them all go. They suit my lace & button collection too perfectly! He promises to have more on my next visit; where on earth is he getting them all from?

Their timeworn beauty is so comforting somehow. All of them from Scotland or England, it certainly speaks of an era where the pace was slower... The ritual of Tea & Biscuits one can imagine was done properly, with nice tea cups and maybe a roaring fire to sit by.

On one hand I really like modern design, clean lines, keeping it simple...
There is this other side however, my soulful side... wanting to be surrounded by objects with a history; like little ghosts keeping me company...
