Coming soon!

Hello my dears. I've been busy researching some of the treasures I brought home on Sunday from my Boot Fair trip and I thought you might enjoy a little taster of my discoveries before they are all listed in the Etsy shop.
 
 
The beautiful blue earrings with silver screw-backs, the vintage papier mache box with pretty floral lid and the 1950s leather gloves are already in the store and the rest should hopefully follow soon. I'm currently researching the very large Victorian mortgage document - and jolly interesting stuff it is too!

Pearly Queen

There has definitely been a pearly theme in the shop lately. I seem to be drawn to the ivory, champagne and creamy shades of pearl - all faux of course - I can only dream of the real thing!

These creamy jewels are now available in my Etsy shop - so if you're planning a Summer wedding and you're looking for that 'something old' take a peak.

Or maybe you're just looking for something that says 'I'm demure, innocent, pretty and pure' to go with your Spring outfits. (He he, I won't tell on you, promise!)

Small steps but steps in the right direction ...

I spent a lot of this afternoon photographing for my shop and here's a sneak preview of what's coming soon ...


I've also done a bit of reorganising at English Rose Vintage which I hope has resulted in a shop that makes more sense and has better focus. The store sections have been revamped and I've taken off my hand-made items - which I hope eventually to relist in a new shop that's been waiting in the wings for some time. At English Rose Vintage I plan to concentrate on vintage jewelery, accessories, trims, buttons, postcards and items for the home.

Anyone who works full-time knows that time spent at home is precious and far too short. I'm always brimming with ideas and keen to try out new crafts but I'd begun to 'spread myself too thin' by trying to do too much - something my long suffering husband is all too well aware of! These chilly post-Christmas weeks have been a great time to take stock, decide what I like to do best and focus myself more. The reorganisation is part of the process and I hope you agree it's a small step but a step in the right direction!

Ball optional

Need some earrings for every day wear or perhaps a bit of sparkle to liven up your life? These little beauties would look good with a sweater and jeans so no need to put on your ball gown to take these out!

New additions to my Etsy shop that are inspired by vintage jewellery and made with vintage rhinestones, opal glass and chandelier parts. 

Introducing Gabriella - Bethany - Mabel - and Agneta.
