Last week I sold the lovely green painted table and separate mirror, so had been on the hunt for something to replace it. Luckily I came across this very functional set of cream painted drawers, so was able to fill the corner quite quickly once again.
They could work well as a bedroom dressing table, or as storage elsewhere in the home, as their simplicity is their virtue.
I've displayed a large collection of coordinating vanity accessories on the top, from a lovely china dressing table set, to barbola mirror and a fluffy 30's powder puff.
The shop has been rather quiet this week, so I used the time to have a good sort out of the other 'boudoiry' bits and bobs on the shelves.

I've sold some of the glassware this week, so will be looking for more of that at the weekend.
I've also been making some new hand bags - I used C19th French toile fabric mixed with antique lace fragments and I added a special vintage button to fasten.

This huge Art Nouveau china bowl has been added to the bathroom area, along with some assorted sea shells.
And another recent best seller has been the colourful 1950's hats...
So I shall be on the lookout for some more Easter bonnets!
I've been collecting a few other Easter inspired items - mostly with a daffodil theme, so will show you those tomorrow when I add them to the shop - I intend to do a spring window display in the front window to try to attract the Friday market customers to pay me a visit too!

Hello Niki...oh it's so hard seeing all your wonderful things and not be able to go in and check it out in the flesh. I'm still holding out for one day getting over to England again. I used to have a gift shop in a little ski village in the mountains of British Columbia Canada...I LOVED it. It was called Tradewinds and Treasures. It was all new items but with an old fashioned style. I think I would have LOVED to have a shop like yours..where it's vintage items and antiques...right up my alley! I used to change my windows often and so many of my regulars would come in to see what I had 'new'...just because things were moved around and the window was different...I loved it. Love the replacement dresser and the display on top...you have such great style! Thank you for sharing this today...Take care. Maura
