Happy Christmas everyone! December has been busy, and I've not had a chance to stop in here. I'm taking a break and will be raring to go in the new year!
I've been working hard on my new etsy shop - Lost Property Vintage - and have even enjoyed a few sales. I can't wait to make it even bigger and better next year.
See you all in 2012!

living vintage - bentwood chairs
One day I'll find a set of bentwood chairs for a bargain price. I love their classic, simple style, which seems to fit with any interior. My only worry is how comfy they may be.
But these fun penny round cushions from Australian company Castle would soften them - and cheer up any room.

my first vintage fair
That was a lot of fun! The vintage fair on Sunday was a success and I learnt a lot. I can't wait to do more next year.
Here's my stall, prior to a few tweaks. I set it all up on the dining table the day before, but needless to say it looked completely different on the day! The biggest item I sold was the globe, hiding under the table in the photo. S and I spent half an hour one evening comparing the names of the countries against the history books, and dated it to the 1930s/1940s.
Now I just have to unpack it all...

lost property finds - off to the fair
It's been a bit quie round here recently, and that's because I'm buried undernearth piles of boxes, preparing for my first vintage fair!
It's today (Sunday, 27th November) at Victoria Hall in Oundle, Northamptonshire. Drop by and say hello if you are in the area!
As well as some finds previously talked about here, I'll be bringing lots of new things. Including the Oxo tin above, and the accurately named 'little forks' below.
And if that wasn't enough, lost property vintage is now on etsy! More on that soon, but please have a look around.
Wish me luck!

Can't find your own thrifted Hudson Bay Blanket? Then why not knit one! This pattern from The Purl Bee looks fairly straight forward. Would you give it a try?

lost property finds
It's been a quiet year for vintage Christmas, but this week's find makes up for it.
This gang of Santa's and elves are about a foot high, and made of bendable wire. They are so much fun!
