Happy Autumn!

Long time, no blog (yet again....) - 2015 is rushing by faster than I can keep up with it. I have neglected this blog as I am using Facebook more and more to connect with customers so please do check out my page.

Highlights of this year so far vintage-wise have been a lovely 100th birthday party for a lady named Hilda, a geeky trip to London Comic Con to see the original stars of Back to the Future (more of which later....), a craft and cake stall at a ukulele festival, vintage shopping at the Grande Braderie in Lille, joining forces with Butterfly Brides for wedding events and prop/china hire (watch this space on that....) and a fantastic holiday to Marseille to get some shabby chic inspiration from Provence.

My day job and home improvements haves taken precedence recently so I don't have as much time to devote to making, thrifting and vintage-ing (is that a word?!) but I have the odd one or two stalls coming up at local events. Blaby Vintage Fair this Saturday and one in Cosby in a few weeks.

I am trying to reduce my vintage hoard (which has grown substantially thanks to my auction addiction!) so have started listing more items on my eBay page. Please click on the link above to see what's on at the moment. My wardrobe had a blitz last weekend so clothes to start with but lots more coming up soon......

Finally, as a nod to what I think got me interested in everything vintage (particularly the 1950s), I have to mention Back to the Future Day coming up next Wednesday. Yes, it's the day Marty McFly, Doc Brown and Jennifer zapped into that far off date of October 21st 2015. Can you believe it?!

So instead of moaning about the lack of hoverboards, flying cars, instant expanding pizzas and computerised leads that take dogs for a walk (I could do with one of those!), I am going to celebrate this momentous date by going to the National Space Centre in Leicester for their big BTTF event. I am going with my friend and fellow super-fan Katie and we are getting dressed up in our Fifties finery for the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance  (will Marty be there?!), Bettina Scarlet's Fifties vintage market, a fashion show, retro computers and - of course - a screening of Back to the Future on the big screen. I LITERALLY CANNOT WAIT!!!!

"Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads....."

New showroom in Lutterworth

Some exciting news.... We have a small shop space within a newly opened wedding showroom in a lovely rural location near Lutterworth! Butterfly Brides have a fabulous selection of wedding dresses to suit all styles and budgets plus a range of accessories, shoes, tiaras, veils and more.

We will be providing tea and cakes served in vintage china for the customers plus we will have a selection of vintage and handmade gifts and home accessories to buy. Plus we will have a selection of unique vintage items available to hire for weddings and other special events.

This weekend is our 'meet and greet' event so please come along for a sneak preview and a taster of our tea parties. Hope to see lots of people there!

My, how time has flown!

Oh dear, it has been so long since I logged into my blog.....

I WILL get round to updating it properly very soon but, in the meantime, you can find my most frequent updates and news - plus a list of forthcoming events - on our Facebook page

We also have a fancy new webpage: www.daisyandtallulah.wix.com/vintage

Just to clarify, we are no longer at 36 Francis Street, Leicester. Check out our eBay and Facebook pages for items for sale and details of our pop up shops and travelling tea parties!

Spring Update

Well, 2014 is flying by! Have been too busy to blog of late - do stop by my Facebook or Twitter page for more frequent updates.....

Daisy & Tallulah's mini shop is still located at 36 Francis Street, Leicester within The Vintage China Boutique and business is going well.

 

I have been on the road with my travelling tea parties, providing high tea for a lovely lady's 100th birthday and catering for a local Wedding & Craft Fair, plus I have a WWII themed community tea party coming up in May......

May's Centenary Birthday Buffet

My pop up tea room!

Summer is on the horizon, so I am taking my vintage and homemade goodies to sell at several local vintage and craft fairs.....

I will also have a stall at Whetstone St Peter's Primary School's Victorian Fair on Sunday 15th June 2-4pm. It's part of their 150th anniversary celebrations - and it's my old school!
