Having recently published a Gimme Five! flour sifters post, I tasked Justin with finding me one to use in my baking. It didn’t take him long to unearth a bargain, paying just £5 for this lovely vintage Foley Sift-Chine example.
And it’s a Rolls Royce of a sifter – lovely, aged, shiny copper with a triple sift mechanism. The flour comes out so light & airy, perfect for making melt-in-the-mouth Victoria sponge cakes.
He’s my sifting hero!!
Since featuring a flour sifter in Charity Vintage last week, I’ve gone vintage flour sifter crazy! I’ve come across some mighty fine specimens online that I wanted to share with you.
It’s a shame that the majority of them are over in the USA (they always seem to have the best kitchenalia) and the postage can make them uneconomical to buy. But, you never know, if I came across one that I just HAVE to have…

Like much of the country, we’re hooked on the Great British Bake Off. It’s done much to help bring about a resurgence in home baking. These hand whisks are a very useful bit of baking kit. It’s not always necessary to get a big electric food mixer involved in preparation. This Prestige egg beater being sold in support of St Vincent Support Centre* will add a touch of colour and vintage chic to boot!
*St Vincents is part of the international charity, the St Vincent de Paul Society, and exists to promote self-sufficiency by building bridges of support and creating opportunities that enhance the quality of life for those deprived of income, employment, education, social networks and community support. We offer a wide range of services to people who need it most, including free debt advice, counselling, free adult learning, and volunteering/training placements for unemployed and adults with special needs.
