Infinite

On Sunday I took to the roads, on route to Port Carlisle with three of my favourite people of all time. 

The weather was completely splendid, so it only seemed right to pack up Monty's boot full of barbeque food and some of my newest vintage buys. 

We truly had one of the greatest times anyone has ever spent. I predict a perfect summer 2012.

Nylon

On this very day in 1940 Nylon stockings first went on sale in America.
Celebrate and buy a pair of these little babes.

Summer Holidays

This completely beautiful and perfect 1950s picnic set went on sale this week.

Make it your summer road trip companion. 

Antiques Road Trip

Today the ever so lovely Anita Manning was in the Carlisle Antiques Centre filming for a new series of BBC1s 'Antiques Road Trip', to be aired this autumn. 

Although she didn't buy anything from little Ruby hopefully her beautiful face will be aired to all who watch. Well done little darling, ever so proud of you :) 

Spring Summer 2012

Introducing Monty

May i take this opportunity to introduce you all to my perfect new motor Monty, a 1958 Sunbeam Rapier.

True love if ever there was.

Following on from my last post...

Over the past 5 years or so i've been following the blog of artist and author Emily Martin.

Her work is filled with charm and whimsical subject matter, and when I saw that there was only one copy of her signed children's book bundle left for sale, I knew what I had to do.

And here it is in all its beautiful glory, a sure new favourite for years to come i'd say.
