Friends who collect...

Visiting friends houses -This dresser belongs to Fiona who can never resist a pretty vintage find . She is starting a blog soon I will keep you posted.

This is Sharon and Geoff`s house in Lincoln shire -a very old cottage with lots of vintage style. The lovely dog is Ben.

I met Sharon when a friend introduced me to the antique fairs -she was so friendly and helpful and iv brought many a treasure from her. We went to do a photo shoot for a local magazine.

A fine sunny wedding.

Big `Thank you` for those of you who traveled along way to visit the shop, I was very touched. Several people said they have tried to pop a comment on the blog and were not able to-I have tried to reply to your comments with no luck!
I have sorted our holiday dilemma . So we will be closed from Aug 3rd to Aug 13th -. Please ring before you travel along way to see us, Just in case we are out and about delivering.

A very warm summer wedding!

Table flowers made up in the cool barn. The flowers went into the marque at the very last minute to stay cool. I don't know if the guests did?

Bridesmaids flowers
