New vintage garden goodies!

Well I have at last got around to photographing some more vintage items for the web site, as always these have been hand picked by myself & Col, & we have made sure that everythinhg is in great vintage condition, with this I mean that although our items are full of vintage charm with some wear & tear from loving use over the years they are all still in full working order & have plenty more years of pleasure in them for a new home.

This fantastic vintage 2.5 litre galvanised watering can will make a keen gardener very happy indeed, they are hard to come by now all intact with the copper rose but this is a cracker, in the summer months when it will be in full use it will look great simply stood by a flower bed or on the patio, in the winter months we do advise that you store them in a shed or indoors as heavy frosts can make the bottoms of them 'belly' if they have water in them from any rain fall.

Coming soon.....These fantastic vintage coat hooks are made from old teak doors which were no longer in use, how perfect to use the great character of the wood instead of throwing it away or burning it, teak is a very durable wood & requires no oil or treatment when used outside, so these hooks can even be hung outdoors if needed although I thought they would be a fantastic addition to a potting shed.

This I need some help with! It is Dutch & I bought it as I thought it would make a really great handy water butt in the summer months, but I do not know what its original use is, Col thinks it may be from a milkmaids yoke which makes sense but it is my natural reaction to disagree with him!! Anyway they do work well as a water butt with a lovely vintage feel.

Wynyard Hall Spring Fayre...

We have got our place booked at the Wynyard Hall Spring Shopping Fayre and we are really looking forward to it, we have had a hectic year so far as we are in the middle of doing up a house & hope to move in in the next 6 weeks so fingers crossed we will have enough time to get ready for the fayre too!!
 Wynyard hall is based in the Tees Valley area & now is a four star country hotel, it has an interesting history (read more HERE) & is a truly stunning building.
 The fayre is being held on Saturday the 28th April & Sunday 29th, have a look at their web site HERE for more details, it is £3.00 entry for adults & children under 12 go free.

Setting up at the fayre for a few days means we can show some of our larger items which we do not sell online due to postage costs, packing is difficult on some large items too, this is a shame as often the larger items make a big statement & always look great in the garden.
Here are a few examples of what we will be taking along with us.....

Vintage Dutch apple crates from the 50's & 60's, these are fab for layering up with stored fruit & veg for the winter months in the potting shed, they look great too with the vintage lettering, each farming family would put their name on the side of the crates so that their fruit crates were not stolen or mixed up at harvest time.
£12 each

Wooden fold away chairs, great sturdy chairs which will hang or stack neatly folded when not in use.
£15 each

Fully restored vintage wooden step ladders, these work really well as bookshelves indoors or filled with plant pots in a garden or yard

From £35 depending on size of ladders

Hope to see you there!
