Here's a candle and doily that I decided to team together this Valentine's week. The candle is a tea light inside one of my vintage egg cups.

Love and Light
Here's a candle and doily that I decided to team together this Valentine's week. The candle is a tea light inside one of my vintage egg cups.
Happy Valentine's Day for Thursday. Wishing you all love and light.
See you next time . :)
Festively Flavoured
The etsy seller whose Delish Kitchenalia I featured here last week is Maria from the fox and the spoon.The vintage egg cups above, and the vintage embroidered poinsettia tablecloth and napkins below are recent delish purchases of mine from Maria, all subtly Christmassy. Back in May this year I also featured my lovely vintage flower picking basket here that I purchased from Maria.
There's lots of vintage homewares and other vintage items at the fox and the spoon that would make great Christmas gifts. I must say that Maria's blog, quince jam, where she shares her cooking and her vintage finds, is also delish. :)

Wishing you a joy filled rest of the week my dears! See you next week! :)
Delish Kitchenalia
From the kitchen of an Etsy seller who sells vintage homewares and other vintage items. Above is one of her favourite spots in her kitchen, atop the fridge. Next week you'll find out who this seller is, and I'll share some items I recently purchased from her.
These suitcases are used to store cookbooks, what a great idea! And below, two examples of the treats that are made in this kitchen.
Enjoy the rest of the week all! See you next week! :)First Lady
Purchased at a cent sale for 10 cents when I was 5 years old, this lovely porcelain lady was the first vintage thing I ever purchased! I purchased her as a gift for my Mum and she is one of Mum's favourite things.This lady is a mystery lady. Her maker is unknown and she has remained nameless until recently. I was taking these photos of her the other day at my parents place and was thinking about a suitable name for her. Among a few other names the name Dorie came to mind. When I looked up the name Dorie I found out that it can be short for Eudora which means "good gift". How perfect! So Eudora is her name now!
Happy rest of the week everyone! See you next week! :)Linking up with Very Merry Vintage Style for Share the Love Wednesday and Coloradolady for Vintage Thingie Thursday.
Johnny Jump Up And Kiss Me!
The old fashioned favourite Johnny Jump Up is a favourite flower of mine. This cheery little flower pops up in Spring, and among many other names is also known as Johnny Jump Up And Kiss Me and Heartsease.
Traditionally associated with matters of the heart, this flower was an emblem of love and courtship in Victorian times and for centuries beforehand.
Look at the shape of these flowers, they look like butterflies! :)
Enjoy the rest of the week all! See you next week! :)

Fashion Plate
Hooray! Spring is here! Sharing a new vintage thing of mine - it's quirky, it's quaint, and it's quite a Spring thing! This is my Limoges porcelain plate brooch. It was a Buy It Now purchase on eBay.

Hope this week is going well for you my dears! See you next week! :)
