Love these outdoor garden rocking chairs and the cushion, it is made from vintage tea towels. l have three of these but love the green one, what is it about green? And in the background my cumquat which l am proud to show you is still alive after 4 weeks.....

Love this sweet 1970's prairie dress!

The fabric on this dress is perfect l don't think it's ever been worn. Also the skirt has a stiffener underneath for volume and shape!

Pretty blue 1930's dress love that collar...

Here is depression era kitchen dresser made from tea chests very rustic...also just new in this Industrial lamp l just love the way it arches over....

The lamp from another angle and to the right a 1940's crepe dress with a beautiful bold pattern...

Like most lovers of vintage l adore feather quilts....this one takes the cake for me love the colours the floral pattern yummy...


last but not least this great flour tin...l don't always use old tin's for their original purpose they make great alternative storage containers for the bathroom or laundry. You can roll up your towels and and tuck them in the tin sweet...

signed, sealed, delivered.....

For those of us who love receiving and writing letters snail mail this is the coolest way to do it! You just fold it up into an aeroplane (instructions inc) and pop on your stamp and send it on it's way....


I have been counting the days until this paper arrived it's the cutest. Harking back to the 1930's style cut out dolls and outfits this Rosie gift wrapping paper is a gift in it's self...

Some old, some new.....

Just new in this phrenology head and palm reading hand too cute...

Have you ever heard of Japanese washi tape? It is basically like masking tape but with really great shapes and patterns. You can decorate your gift parcels, stick your notes on the fridge you are only limited by your imagination...so many colours and patterns my house is currently using shocking pink!

Love this confetti washi tape!

I used some old newspaper with the washi tape to seal it turned out pretty good...
