Vintage Fabric Wheat Sacks

These pretty and practical wheat sacks are crafted from entirely vintage fabrics, either floral cottons from the 1940's or vintage embroidered linen. Each sack is a beautiful fusion of 9 patchworked squares with a velvet hanging loop in one corner (in case you want to hang it on a wardrobe or door knob or from a bed post) with a vintage button to top it off. The reverse features a single panel of co-ordinating vintage fabric.

Gorgeous as the exterior is, the clever bit is the interior which is filled with beautifully fragrant lavender buds and organic wheat. You can simply pop your wheat sack in the microwave for one minute and it will heat up beautifully, releasing its wonderful fragrance. Place it on your aches and pains or pop it on your pillow for a night of sweet dreams. My cats are rather partial to mine!

Each sack measures approximately 6" square (excluding hanging loop).

£12.50 each. P&P included in the UK. £2.50 overseas P&P.

I have only one sack left. I can happily make more to order, please get in touch.

Christmas Stockings

Complete your festive fireplace and make sure Father Christmas has somewhere to leave your goodies on Christmas eve with a gorgeous stocking. I have used a vintage felted and hand dyed woollen blanket to make the body of the stocking. The top cuff (on the front side) features a lovely patchworked selection of vintage 1940s and vintage-inspired fabrics topped with some unusual Christmas themed buttons and trimmed with vintage ribbon. The toe also features one of the beautiful fabrics and there is a guiding star (to guide all those presents in!) on the front. Finally, there is a secure spotty hanging loop at the top.

Measures approximately 15" long (excluding loop) and 12" at widest point (heel to toe).

£30 each including P&P in the UK. Overseas P&P £3.

Please note: the middle stocking has been sold.

Vintage Lavender Sacks

Perfectly formed, dinky sacks filled with divinely fragrant lavender enclosed in beautiful vintage, and vintage inspired, fabrics and lace. Scent your drawers or your linen cupboard, put one next to you on the pillow to lull you to sleep. They also look gorgeous tied with pretty ribbon into little sets. Some are plain, some feature little messages such as "with love", "special mum", "special friend", "Happy Birthday", "thank you" and similar. They make a perfect gift for someone close, either on a special occasion or just to let them know how much they are appreciated, and great thank you gifts at a reasonable price. Best of all of course, they're an even better gift to yourself!

Each lovely sack measures approximately 5-6" square (some a little bigger, some a tad smaller depending on the vintage fabrics).

The reverse of the sacks are crafted from vintage cotton fabrics in complimentary designs and colours.

They cost £6 each or as a current special offer, two for £10.

Vintage Teacup Candles

I have amassed quite a collection of beautiful vintage teacups, I also love candles, especially those which are beautifully scented with fragrance oil, so I have combined the two for the ultimate candle for vintage lovers. These look so pretty (and dare I say romantic!) and fit perfectly in the vintage interior where modern candles might look out of place. The cups take on a lovely translucent effect when the candle is burning. Once the candle has burnt out, you are still left with a beautiful teacup which you can use for your Earl Grey.

Each candle comes in a pretty ivory box with pink tissue and a box of matches covered in lovely fabric (not necessarily the box shown in the photo but certainly one equally as beautiful and with fabric chosen to compliment the design on the china).

I have a variety of teacups and teacups with saucers.

Teacups are priced at £12 each.

Teacups with saucers are priced at £15 each set.

P&P:

UK = £3.50 one teacup/and saucer (Second Class)

Twit Twoo!

Cute corduroy owls are looking for a new nest to share! They have felt and 100% cotton details to their faces and wings, attached with attractive blanket stitching, and button eyes. They are stuffed with new (fire retardant) polyfill and each comes with their own little name tag. The Munchkin and I designed the owls with a distinct division between the shape of the head and body which makes them perfect for putting your arms round and cuddling!

Not for children under 3 years old due to the buttons but it does seem that they are rather popular with grown-ups!

Each owl measures approximately 12" high (13" including ears) and approximately 11" across their chubby tummy!
