We were pleased to be able to find some especially pretty items for the website this week, all with a floral "theme"!
Along with some floral "eiderdowns" and French bedcovers, we added a very feminine style vintage chair with a floral seat to our new arrivals category. The thin spindles and turned struts add lovely detail to this old chair which has it's very chipped and worn original paint. The seat has beautiful roses on it and the ruffle adds a bit of vintage romance.
We also were thrilled to find this wonderful storage box, a large size so great for storing under beds or dressers.
It is covered in a beautiful old floral linen fabric. Covered boxes of this size are quote rare so I don't mind saying how tempted I was to keep this for myself!
I also managed to spot this little beauty, a "wicker" cutlery tray with a handle and lined with pieces of Vintage French fabric.
I can just see this on a garden table filled with old cutlery for garden parties or picnics!
Speaking of the garden, I want to share with some photos from ours. During the very few breaks we have had in our appalling weather, I have noticed a huge amount of butterflies.
This is excellent news as some people were concerned about the butterflies recovering from the previous years wet and cold summers. We have numerous Buddleia in the garden and also, a large patch of Verbena, both of which the butterflies are very acttracted to.
Walking into the garden you see so many butterflies fluttering all over, it's quite a magical scene. How exciting it was to see this little fellow too...a butterfly Hawkmoth.
He looks just like a hummingbird and was fascinatiing to watch.
Last year we found the hawkmoth caterpillar and put him somewhere safe for the winter. Maybe this is him, come back to greet us!
Goodbye for now,
P.S.
I would like to say "Thank you" to everyone who left a comment on our last post. It is nice to be able to share our proud parenting moments!
