New Etsy shop open, selling vintage stuff

I've decided to use Etsy as a platform for selling vintage things, instead of my own website.

The new shop is now open & I'll be adding more things most days.

If you'd like to stop by & take a look, you can find it at OLDENGLISHROSES

Our previous, very valued customers will find our usual mix of vintage textiles, clothing, handmade stuff & treasures, plus lots more. Below are just a few of the things I've added this week, with lots more good stuff still to come...

vintage French fabrics

decadent Victorian plush table carpet with peacock & roses

 beautiful old ribbon embroidery, always a favourite!

 more antique French fabrics

 wax flowers

 cute dolls & nursery items

 vintage costume jewellery to wear, always draws compliments!

 more vintage fabrics!

 French beaded flowers wreath

 vintage wedding stuff

 handmade cushions, lampshades, bags etc

 pretty antique quilts to use & display

 decorative vintage French religeous items

 & general decorative old lovelies...

 Our previous customers will find the service as personal as ever, without the occasional glitches associated with the uploads on our stand-alone website. New items will be added on an ongoing basis, rather than in batches, so on any day you drop by, you'll probably find something new.

Jemimah's new dress & old French wallpaper

 

I love seeing the things people do with the things they buy from me. The tiny 1930s dress that was in my last upload on the web site was bought my friend Sue for her doll Jemimah. Looks like doll & dress were made for each other!

 

 

Recently I bought a beautiful piece of antique French wallpaper. There's not enough for a wall, sadly but while I decide what to do with it, I thought I'd pin it up so I can see it & enjoy it instead of having it packed away out of sight...

May 2013 vintage upload on website.

I've added a few more vintage things to the website today. It's not a huge quantity but I wanted to put some fresh things on there before the Hay Festival temporarily takes over our lives at the end of next week. If you'd like to take a look at what I've added, click HERE
