The Vintage Christmas Boutique

Here I go again....

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening, in the lane, snow is glistening, a beautiful sight, we're happy tonight, walking in a winter wonderland...


The second Vintage Christmas Boutique is almost here and the house is currently being turned upside down in order to transform it into a festive vintage emporium! I am comforted by the sight of my favourite decorations finding their familiar little spots in the house ready for the season. I can't help it, I love this time of year, a whiff of cinnamon & cloves and I am away with the elves...

I have been busy making some special one~off stockings, decorations and cushions using my favourite textiles and trims and have sourced some unique hand~made goods that definitely cannot be bought on the high street! Added to this will be an eclectic mix of antique & vintage treasures along with some exclusive Scandinavian pieces from Jeanne D'Arc Living ~ what more could a girl wish for? Well, maybe a home~baked cookie or two with a cup of warm chocolate?

All are welcome, please contact me for an invitation and further details ~ more information can be found at the Vintage Christmas Boutique blog.

Friday 2nd & Saturday 3rd December 2011. 10.00am ~ 4.00pm.
