It’s been another long gap since the last time we added any items to our online shop. We’ve been making the most of the recent good weather – exploring Mid-Wales and occasionally getting out & about buying stock.
Here’s a quartet of some of the vintage things that we’ve listed in the past few days – including an eye-catching Waechtersbach platter – simply click on each image to be taken to the individual item page.
We’ve finished decorating the ‘parlour’ in our cottage. It’s now our library and craft room; furnished with new bookshelves and a pair of antique leather armchairs. What we’d like to add is a magazine holder made using natural materials to suit the rest of the décor.
Here are three rattan magazine racks that we really like – the most affordable is £35 and the dearest is well over £200.

Sometimes the bathroom is the only place you can get time to yourself – especially if you have a dog like ours who parks himself on the other side of the door and waits for you to finish!
My dad will kill me for saying this, but he used to have (and perhaps still does) a daily routine that involved a cigarette, the newspaper and the toilet. My sisters and I didn’t get driven to school until this morning ritual had been completed. I have a similar regular habit, but mine involves a glossy magazine, a glass of wine, tea lights and a bubble bath.
In both our cases, a bathroom magazine rack would come in very handy. One of the examples we feature below just stores reading material and handily hangs from the cistern. All the others are multifunctional, being receptacles for two very different types of paper. 🙂

The ‘atomic’ influenced items we sell in our shop are always popular – especially the coat hooks and magazine racks. They look good and are useful and functional. This atomic magazine rack being sold by & in support of Isabel Hospice* is fairly unusual in its shape – a little more fancy than the norm. Its perfect for storing & displaying this month’s interiors mags… or even vintage 1950s copies of Vogue!
*Isabel Hospice is a charity needing to raise nearly 4 million per annum to provide their free services to the people of eastern Hertfordshire. Their ethos is that they treat the whole person, not simply the illness. They offer a complete hospice service through their team of community nurse specialists, a 16 bed in-patient hospice, a day hospice, out-reach day hospices, hospice at home and a family support and bereavement service.
