Special Gift Cards



Show someone you care by sending a beautiful one-of-a-kind gift card. I have taken vintage fabrics as inspiration to create pretty patterned papers which are then combined with real lace, vintage cigarette cards and seed packet labels and interesting trimmings.

Each card measures 7" x 5" and comes with a white envelope, in a cellophane bag. Cards are blank inside. Cards shall be posted in proper card- backed "Do not bend" envelopes.

Each card is £2.50 plus P&P.

P&P for up to two cards:

UK = 75p
Europe = £2
Rest of the World = £3


Please specify the type of card you would like in your email:

1) Suitable for men or ladies;
2) Glamorous, floral cigarette card, seed packet, football, classic car, train, dog, patchwork, love, "Happy Birthday", "Special Mum", "With Love" and so on;
3) A colour scheme if you choose (eg. pastel/bright/pink/blue etc).

Please note: I cannot send specific cards (it would simply take me ages to photograph them all!)

Special Offer:
A mixed pack containing 4 cards is available for £10 with free P&P in the UK, £2 P&P overseas. You can choose male or female or mixed. The four cards are otherwise a surprise but you can be sure they will always be beautiful and unique.

A colourful satin ricrac edging, velvet bow and some divinely pretty vintage lace are the finishing touches.

Patchwork Notebook Covers



Here I have used my most lovely, special and original vintage fabrics (mainly from the 1940s-'50s) combined with some vintage embroidered linen and crafted these "one of a kind" notebook covers. They are completely lined with white cotton. A hardbacked notebook is included and the clever bit is that the cover is entirely removable so that once you have finished writing in the last page of your book, you can slip it out and pop in another (standard stationers' A5 and A6 size).



A5 size notebook approximately: 8.5" H x 6"W x 0.5"D
A6 size notebook approximately: 6"H x 4.5"W x 0.5"D
(Sizes come up slightly larger once the cover is on.)


The patchwork extends all the way round the back.





They are priced at:
A5 size = £20.00 + P&P
A6 size = £16.00 + P&P


P&P A5 and A6 size:
UK (inland) = £1.75
Europe = £2.50
Rest of the World = £3.50




A5 size sold out, many thanks. One A6 size notebook remains available.

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.
