We’re paying homage to all things green in this post – so we’ve selected a variety of items from our website.
We love green in all its shades – it’s the H is for Home colour of course…
…and a green post is very appropriate at the moment with signs of spring all around us!
We bought this vintage advertising poster some time ago and put it away…
…it’s now returned from the local framers and we’re very pleased with the result.
The poster is for Brock’s Fireworks and dates from the 1950s/60s – it would have been on display in a toy shop or newsagents.
The artist is D. Nockels and we love his illustration.
We’ll be adding the poster to the Child’s Play section of our shop sometime this week. We’re currently in the process of sorting & framing various vintage artworks that we’ve gathered over recent years – some of the other items include travel posters, film memorabilia etc, so watch this space!
With Easter just around the corner, ‘E’ just had to be for egg. We’ve had a quick trawl through our photos looking for some eggy paraphernalia.
We’ll start with a few egg cups…
…and how about an egg cosy to keep the chill off?
Storage solutions…
…whisks…
…and spatulas.
No matter how many people there are in your household, or how many you like at a time, there’s an egg poacher for you!
For the complete boiled egg experience, you can’t beat this lovely bright orange set!
And finally, we couldn’t do an egg blog without mentioning the most famous egg of all- Humpty Dumpty of course. We picked up some vintage nursery rhyme records recently, and Humpty was amongst them.
The vintage skirt below was the inspiration for today’s post. It recently caught my (Adelle’s) eye in the window of one of Manchester’s Northern Quarter vintage shops – a real bargain at just £2!
So this post is going to be a feast of fab flowers…
A gallery of items that incorporate daisy motifs or simple, stylised blooms.
These striking patterns often catch our eye on a crowded market stall or auction room full of boxes.
We had so many examples to chose from – this is just a small selection…
…hope you enjoyed our choices!
