Vintage Disney

10 / 9 / 1710 / 9 / 17

I love the new range of Vintage Inspired Disney products from Primark. Their range includes some gorgeous homeware products and clothing. Recently, their Beauty and the Beast products have been so popular many shops have sold out! I’m still on the look out for a cute ‘Chip’ mug and ‘Mrs Potts’ teapot. They also have really pretty Beauty and the Beast bedding which the girls would love. 

I bought this lovely Bambi Mug for just £5. It would make a great Christmas present or birthday gift for any Disney fan!

Latest Vintage Buys

10 / 9 / 17

These are my new vintage inspired plates, cups and napkins from Hobbycraft. I absolutely love the pretty floral design and gold edging. I couldn’t resist buying them, and thought they would be ideal for Lucy’s 2nd Birthday Party. I also bought some pretty gold star food picks or cupcake decorations from Ginger Ray.

Ginger Ray is one of my favourite companies for partyware and celebration accessories. They have a wide range of gorgeous vintage inspired pieces at reasonable prices and have a number of different themed packages. Hobbycraft now stock a wide range of Ginger Ray products particularly focusing on the Wedding Range. Visit your local Hobbycraft or visit their website www.gingerray.co.uk

Autumn Arrives

10 / 5 / 17

There are so many things I love about Autumn time, watching the leaves changing colour, collecting conkers, sitting by a warm fire and drinking hot chocolate to name but a few. I’m definitely an old romantic at heart and love the thought of cosy nights in and decorating our home for all the Autumn celebrations. It’s also a great excuse for refreshing your Autumn wardrobe, and buying a new pair of boots. 

Here are some other great ideas of things to do in the Autumn. 

I am looking forward to doing all these things, as well as doing some simple baking recipes with my eldest daughter Lucy.

Please comment below if you have any other ideas for Autumn activities or recipes, I would love to hear your ideas.

Vintage Children’s Books

9 / 25 / 179 / 27 / 17

 

I love looking for children's books for my two daughters and being a teacher you'd think I had them all, but there are so many great books out there and I'm currently obsessed with finding the old traditional stories with beautiful illustrations. Luckily, my eldest daughter Lucy absolutely adores books and would quite happily sit and look at books all day. I'm hoping Holly, my 4 month old will also enjoy books like she does.

I have recently bought several Shirley Hughes books as I simply love her illustrations. One of my favourites is called 'When We Went to the Park'. It is a lovely story about a little girl and her granddad and all the things they see on their journey. It is beautifully written and incorporates counting as part of the story. Lucy loves pointing to the pictures. 

 

 

 

 

I would definitely recommend these books for young children. Simply beautiful. Please leave a comment below.

National Afternoon Tea Week

8 / 21 / 17

One of my most favourite things to do is go out with friends and family and enjoy afternoon tea! Last week was National Afternoon Tea Week and in the last few years it has made a come back with most tea rooms and hotels offering their take on the traditional afternoon tea experience. It can range in price from a few pounds to a small fortune depending on where you go! If you are out and about in London then be prepared to pay the highest prices! It makes a lovely treat though for a birthday or special celebration so I would say its worth it.

There are a few places I like to go to enjoy afternoon tea around the Worcestershire and West Midlands Area these include:

  1. Brockencote Hall
  2. The Stone Manor
  3. The Garden Tea Rooms @ Witley Court
  4. Malory Court Hotel and Spa
  5. Webbs of Wychbold
  6. Stanbrook Abbey 
  7. Arley Arboretum
  8. The Old Laundry Tea Rooms @ Spetchley
  9. The Elms Hotel
  10. Whitlenge Gardens Tea Room

They all range in price but all are well worth a visit! Please comment below to let me know where you like to go for Afternoon Tea.

Cute Kawaii Haul

8 / 21 / 178 / 21 / 17

I absolutely love these Kawaii inspired make-up products. Not really vintage I know, but they look so cute and I  couldn’t resist trying them out. I ordered them from INSTYLE website. I was impressed with the amount of different and unique products they supply. It is a great website for present buying and getting something a little different. 

These are the different products I bought:

Babyface Moisture B.B Cream, Babyface Petit Blusher, TonyMoly Pocket Bunny Perfume Bar 02 Juicy Bunny, Cats Wink Power Compact with Mirror and Innisfree Skinny Waterproof Microcara.

I love, love, love the packaging and the products are really good and reasonably priced. The Pocket Bunny Perfume Bar has a gorgeous fruity fragrance and is easy to apply by just rubbing it on. The Cats Wink compact is great and comes with it’s own mirror, which is great for your handbag. Both Babyface products are lovely, particularly the blusher as it is a great colour and has a cute powder puff applicator with bow to apply it. The Microcara is fab because it has a tiny wand applicator that allows you to coat all your eyelashes evenly and creates a dramatic look. Would recommend all these products and they make great gifts. 

Visit the INSTYLE website to get your cute products!

Please comment below if you have any favourite make-up products that you would recommend.

Vintage Garden Party Cocktails

8 / 3 / 17

I love going out for cocktails with friends and I have tried to recreate many cocktails at home, some successful, some not so much!

Vintage glassware can look so beautiful when used at weddings or garden parties and even more so when filled to the brim with a delicious cocktail adorned with an edible flower, or an exotic fruit. 

For more ideas of gorgeous garden party drinks or drinks for weddings take a look at my Pinterest Page. See link in sidebar. 

I would love to hear your ideas for wedding cocktails or signature drinks at parties. Please comment below!
