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!
We’re in the middle of a long, dry, sunny spell … by Pennine standards at least!
And here’s the ideal thing for this perfect summer holiday weather.
This fantastic, French 1950s picnic table & chairs has just gone into Picturehouse Antiques Centre.
The wooden table collapses to form a carry case – and the metal & canvas chairs fold up inside – great for picnics, camping or in the garden.
And of course you’ll also need picnic blankets, coolers, baskets, indestructible crockery, sun loungers and stuff for the beach.
Check out the Great Outdoors section in our H is for Home web shop for similar stuff.
We picked up this fab 60s/70s lounger at a market recently.
The metal frame and period fabric are both in great condition.
We also bought a couple of striped deckchairs from the same stall.
We’ve been stocking up on outdoor items for our shop, ready for the summer.
Here’s just a selection – and what a blast of colour!
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!!!
