We featured this picnic set in a recent Forthcoming Attractions post.
It looked OK as it was, but the striped canvas was in very poor condition and one of the stools had an odd covering to the other three.
So we’ve given it a quick facelift…
…using some of our vintage 60s daisy fabric.
We’re pleased with its new look – bright & cheerful.
It’s a lovely set – the stools fold up into their wooden carry case which in turn unfolds to form the table.
Perfect for camping or summer picnics!
It’s a while since we did one of our Forthcoming Attractions posts – it features items that we’ve picked up in the previous week that were in the process of photographing & cataloging – items that will hit our website in the very near future.
Some nice bright pottery to start – the slender jug or bud vase is from the Saga range by Figgjo Flint – the cheery floral jug was produced by Sadler in the 1960s.
We love this vintage 1950s lemonade/water jug – very ‘Festival of Britain’.
The Viners Splayds come in their original packaging – perfect for garden parties & barbecues. And not one, but two Welsh Wool purses bought off the same stall – their colours & patterns are so distinctive.
It all sits on a beech coloured table – it’s part of a picnic/camping set with which comes with 4 canvas stools – and which all folds up to form the carry case. Ideal for the car boot or camper van!
We’re always on the lookout for vintage camping & picnic wares.
Our favourite purchase in the last week has to be this fabulous set of camping chairs.
The 4 canvas chairs – dating from the 1940s or 50s – come in their own carrying case.
This case has corner holes and converts into a sturdy, wooden-topped table.
We’ll add them to our Great Outdoors section sometime soon.
This department has been popular with our customers this summer – here’s a few of our favourite items that have passed through … or are currently for sale.
This set of lovely, sunshine yellow cups & saucers went to Norway recently…
Their new owner, Camilla Elene Erøy, blogged about her new acquisition
Another of our customers bought a few vintage accessories from us for her new VW camper van hire business.
We started our own camper van fund a while ago – which has slowly been building up. It will make our holidays, weekend breaks & buying trips a bit easier… especially with a large dog to consider.
We even have a camper van ‘bottom drawer’.
This cool box and melamine plates are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their new home… a vintage, two tone green VW camper van…
… along with a selection of cosy blankets & throws.
We also picked this set up yesterday on a day trip to Ilkley. We think it’s destined for our bottom drawer – but how many melamine plates will we need?!
We got it from a lovely little shop that we’ve just discovered. It’s called Cakewalk and it’s tucked away on Trafalgar Road. It’s only a small shop but it manages to display a great selection of vintage and recycled fashion & homewares. Well worth a visit if you’re ever in the area.
Happy camping!!!
I want an orange fridge/freezer too! Most definitely the orange!
