Beautiful Doll Crib

This lovely vintage doll's crib has been given a HenHouse makeover. It has been painstakingly prepared and painted with a pretty pink eggshell paint and I have added some little vintage style rose transfers to each end.

The crib has a new calico covered mattress, a flannelette ditsy-flowered bottom sheet, gorgeous vintage linen top sheet which is embroidered with flowers and a bluebird, a vintage woollen satin-edged blanket which has been hand blanket stitched with perle cotton and a gorgeous patchwork quilt on top, made just like a full-size quilt with cotton batting and backing and hand-sewn pink polka dot binding. The finishing touch is a new pillow with a removable vintage embroidered, lace-edged pillow case. All the bedding can be washed (wool blanket on the appropriate setting).

This is a generously sized doll's crib with plenty of room for a whole family of teddies and dollies. It measures approximately 27" long, 17" tall and 11" wide. The crib gently rocks, sure to delight any special little girl or a lady who is young at heart.

The crib would need to be collected in the next few weeks. We can offer collection from South East London, the South Somerset/West Dorset area or somewhere in between along the M3/A303! There is also the chance of collection from North Yorkshire in the foreseeable future. This item is truly worth the trip, it is a complete unique one-off which will become a family heirloom to be treasured and passed on for years to come. I seldom have these cribs available and all my past customers have been so thrilled with their cribs, they look even more stunning in real life.

The crib is priced at £95. SOLD, VERY MANY THANKS (You are welcome to email me to go on the waiting list for the next one...)

I generally only have a few cribs available each year so please don't delay to contact me if you wish to reserve or discuss collection.

Raspberry and Apple Quilt

My latest quilt is simple in style, as the best quilts often are, and makes an impact with delightful fabrics from a popular designer range called "Tilda" in scrumptious shades of pinky-red raspberry and mossy, appley green. The patterns are a delight, fresh and modern yet featuring classic roses in a country style. For interest, I have added some batiks in green and claret and some pretty tiny polka dots.

This quilt measures a handy 40" x 54". It makes a perfect sofa or chair throw to cosy up with in your sitting room come Autumn time, adding welcome colour and impact to plainer sofas. It is also the ideal size to top a single bed, perfect for little-ones who struggle to manage a big heavy quilt on their own. Use your tape measure to give you a perfect view of the size, should you like.

The top has been meticulously pieced from 5" cotton squares and has been quilted in a criss-cross fashion. The batting is a top quality cotton blend making your quilt easy to wash and dry, (wash at 30 degrees and line dry). Minimal shrinkage may occur giving you that highly-coveted vintage look but you can use a cool iron to restore the crisp feel if you prefer.

The welcome surprise with this quilt is the divine backing fabric, a sumptuous feast of red roses on white (designed by Tanya Whelan). You could display this side for a change, a little like an eiderdown. The binding is a fresh red stripe (also by Tanya Whelan) which has been traditionally hand sewn to the reverse for a real professional finish.

I have added a vintage embroidered name patch to the reverse.

This beautiful quilt is available for sale at £150 including postage in the UK (please add £5 for overseas). Please read my sales policies in the right hand sidebar. SOLD, THANKS EVER SO MUCH

This quilt measures a large 69" x 42" (you could get out your tape measure to assess the size accurately if needs be). It would look superb as a throw over the foot of a bed or over a sofa and really super in an outdoor setting, maybe in a summer house or on a bench? It has been made from premium quality cotton fabrics and has cosy pink cotton flannelette backing. The quilt has been quilted using a pretty variegated pink thread.

The batting is a top quality cotton blend making your quilt easy to wash and dry, (wash at 30 degrees and line dry). Minimal shrinkage may occur giving you that highly-coveted vintage look but you can use a cool iron to restore the crisp feel if you prefer.

Saddle Up! Quilt

Here is a very special quilt for a very special little person. I have collected these wonderful vintage-style wild west prints for a few years now and finally brought them all together in one utterly unique quilt!

The top is pieced in a classic style from cotton fabric, and what a selection of fabric there is! One lucky little person is going to love studying all those patterns and pictures at bedtime. The batting is a top quality cotton blend with a mid loft, the backing is super cosy white cotton flanelette for maximum snuggliness. The quilt has been meticulously quilted "in the ditch" (outlining each block). The quilt has been bound with a lovely bright red polka dot cotton and all 220" have been hand sewn to the reverse as a quality traditional quilt deserves. There is a "Saddle Up" name patch to the reverse.

This is a large quilt, sized approximately 50" x 60" which will generously cover the top of a single bed and drape a little way down the sides or top a double bed. It's big enough to be really cosy but not so huge or heavy that a little person can't handle it themselves. This quilt is easy to care for and can be machine washed at 30-40 degrees and line dried. The quilt will look fabulous once washed, a little crinkly just like vintage quilts, but you can use a cool iron to restore a crisp look if you prefer. I think my quilts get better the more they are loved and used.

This wonderful one-of-a-kind quilt is sure to become a family treasure and will be a sterling part of a little one's memories of childhood. It is priced at £150 including post in the UK (plus £8 overseas). SOLD, MANY THANKS
