A little something to brighten up your day

It is a horrible dreary day in London so thought I would post a little something to cheer up your weekend.

Hope you enjoy.

A Pretty Vintage Photo Shoot

Recently I organised a vintage photo shoot on the River Thames.

It will be featured on my website tomorrow - www.vintagesimplicity.co.uk/blog

**A big thank you goes to Hen House for working so hard on the vintage linens seen in the shoot**

It's all change......

Sorry it has been such a while since my last post BUT it has been all change here and lots of exciting happenings!!!

My website launched mid December - Vintage Simplicity - and that combined with getting a photo shoot organised and Christmas preparations for all of the family left me well and truly flagging.

It is a new beginning for me though as I enter a new world of juggling business with motherhood BUT I am thoroughly enjoying it.

You can see how it all began at the Vintage Simplicity Blog.

Please do follow me on my new blog - updates will be notified via  Twitter and Facebook
Hope you all have a very Happy New Year.

An Art Deco Tea Party

Thought I would share these with you all on this Saturday Afternoon.

I have been tinkering about with my collection all day ready for a meeting with the web designers on Tuesday. 

A big thank you to this lovely lady - Hen House - who made all of the beautiful heart place settings!!!
Would appreciate any comments you may have.
Thankyou.

Vintage Simplicity

My new logo has now been completed - so one step nearer to launch!!! Yippee!!!

Hope you all like it.

I am involved in a wedding photo shoot on the 18th November which is all very exciting. It is based on a 1920's flapper theme and I will be providing all of the vintage china and accessories. I will report on this and show photos after the event.
On another note - some exciting news that I have to report is that DotComGiftShop have written an article called Vintage Blogs We Love and My Grannies Attic has been highlighted along with a host of other gorgeous blogs that I follow. It can be seen at DotComGiftShop - Vintage Blogs. It was really uplifting to find out about this and a big thankyou goes to all involved!!!!

Bye for now

All change........

Well the end of the summer holidays has come and gone and we are now fully back into the swing of the early morning school run's. It has taken me until today to finally get back to some kind of normality - where I can gather my thoughts and plan my next course of action.

Summer was well and truly taken up with holidays, day trips and keeping four little poppets entertained. It was at times very testing - especially on the rainy days but I had the most thoroughly enjoyable time!!!

Times are changing around here though!!! I have decided to add a new blog or two so that I can keep My Grannies Attic purely for telling you all about my families goings on and the vintage twist I bring into our home.

My new blogs will focus on my new business - Vintage Simplicity - Vintage China and Accessories Hire. One will diarise the development of the company and the other will be in the form of a blog shop where I will be selling lovely hampers of china and cake stands.

Please hang on in there whilst these get up and running. My branding and logo design should be with me by the middle of next week so please look out for that.

I am also in the midst of meetings - setting up my new website for Vintage Simplicity. It is all happening so quickly now - I have all of my stock sitting ready and waiting for the 2011 wedding season and lots of wedding fairs planned.

Anyway, onto some finds that I gathered over the summer. These are all for keeps and will be proudly displayed in our home (all of my china finds will be shown in my Vintage Simplicity Blog - watch this space........).

This telephone was picked up at an Antiques Fair for just £5. Just the perfect colour for the kitchen - I love it!!!!

I just couldn't refuse this tin when I saw it. A 1950's recipe tin - which I thought was empty until I opened it.......

It is absolutely amazing!!! So much time must have been spent writing out all of these recipe cards and all the recipes are right up my street - all old fashioned yummy foods!!!

Another one of my much loved London Route Master Signs had to come home with me!!! And as we only live just down the road how could I refuse!!!!

I love the look of this Thermos and had seen one just like it in one of my favourite interiors books. All I need now are the flowers!!!!!
That's it for my summer finds - not many but all so so perfect.

Bye For Now
