Anne's Been At It Again

Anne has been very busy in the Vintage Fabric Market Workshop Craft Corner making more delicious items for the website.

This haircomb was made using lovely blue feathers and vintage 1950's costume jewellery embellishments .




This cute vintage bambi fabric cosmetic bag is just another fine example of Anne's inspiring handmade collection.

A Rare Find!!

Anne has made a rare discovery today of a book of January 1947 edition of Vogue Patterns! Needless to say she was very excited!

This morning, Hazel has been browsing some of the top vintage blogs the internet has to offer and found some really fantastic ones.

One of her favourites is Dear Daisy Cottage which is filled with scrumptious photos and a heartfelt commentary.

She also found Junk Camp which has great step by step instructions to make lovely stuff.

The blog Hazel knew Anne would love is Heather Bullard . This blog is pure gold if you're looking for inspiration.

Clare Antiques

Hello all!

We've discovered a great place to hunt for treasure in Suffolk.

Situated next to Clare Castle Country Park, it spans 4 floors of unique antique, retro and vintage collectables.

It's definitely worth spending a lazy afternoon

browsing what they have to offer and maybe

getting a lovely cup of tea and a slice of

cake from the village, where they have some fine little tea rooms and the such like!

Anne and Colin's Countryside Outing

Anne and Colin scoured the Cambridgeshire countryside yesterday in search of more beautiful vintage items. Anne was delighted to find a very rare cute original 1950s hairslide which reminded her of her childhood, and inspired her to make a lovely cosmetic bag in 1950's fabric.

Anne also found a delightful vintage postcard which she especially wanted to share with you all.

Gillian has been busy in preparation gathering the materials she needs to make one of her "button bouquets", which will no doubt be featured on the blog very soon!
