Vintage first aid boxes

Collection of vintage first aid boxes

We’ve just had a lovely little mention in the current edition of  Homes & Antiques magazine. We’re regular readers of the magazine – and it’s often a surprise when we turn a page to find one of our products staring back at us. We supply photos or loan items for magazine photo-shoots months before publication, so don’t always know exactly when they’ll be featured. This particular article was all about vintage first aid boxes.

Homes and Antiques magazine cover - July 2016

Well, it started with a tour of of salvage dealer, Kate Kaemena’s house – who, as you might expect, has a home full of interesting objects. In one corner, she has a collection of vintage first aid boxes which make a quirky and eye-catching display. Following the house tour, there’s a page focussing on vintage first aid boxes and three of our examples are included in the line up. Most houses have some form of first aid box – as this article proves, they can be both functional and attractive to look at – perhaps the case with most things with a bit of effort.

We were really pleased to be asked by Stephanie J if she could feature our home in N.E.E.T. – a free, quarterly, online, non-profit design & fashion magazine.

According to their FAQ page, “N.E.E.T. came about in 2005 as an online publication dedicated to showcasing independent talent – design, art, and general fantastic originality. N.E.E.T. is the first of its kind, online, free and packed with everyone from a crafter creating from their kitchen table, to a fashion design graduate straight out of college, to a team of people doing it for the love of it.”

Although it seems as though print magazines have been and will be around forever, e-zines have a growing presence. Their influence is sure to spread! Here are a couple of our other current faves:

Our home in Your Home

We’ve just been featured in the December issue of Your Home magazine.

Initially, the magazine asked us for one or two product shots of items from the H is for Home website. This escalated to a full house feature.

A couple of months ago, a photographer and his assistant spent a whole day taking shots around our house.

We’re very happy with the results, they’ve used a lot of the photos and the article is spread over six whole pages!

If you’d like to be able to read the feature properly we’ve scanned larger versions of each of the pages:

Fabric Magazine feature for H is for Home

We’ve had another lovely mention in the press – we’re in this month’s Fabric Magazine. It’s a London-based, monthly glossy that specialises in the capital city’s properties as well as features on interiors, travel, health, beauty & style, food & eating out. Take a look at the clipping below!

Thanks to them for their coverage and thanks to all of you out there for your continued support and feedback.
