Our first time exhibiting at the Bournemouth International Centre.

What an amazing time, over 1700 visitors and it felt like we spoke to most of them, it was so busy, can't wait till next year. We launched our new Table Styling Service and got lots of interest, going to be busy 2019.

We had great fun decorating the beautiful Abbots Court for a Murder Mystery Weekend. Styling with our vintage props including:  typewriter, silver teapots and candelabras, we turned the venue back to the 1920's. Guests were greeted with our champagne saucers and enjoyed a stunning meal followed by a wonderful evening of whodunnit.

We have had the pleasure in working with some amazing people,  one of our recent shoots at Abbots Court House in Dorset.  Creating Vintage elegance with our china and props.

This year we have a lovely lot of weddings with beautiful vintage themes, colourful boho with a clash of bright colours in china and flowers.

Zinging yellows with cheery sunflowers and colourful hoops and ribbons. 

Flowery centrepieces with vintage green bottles

2018 weddings are full of  bright colours and we love it.

A visit to an amazing venue in Somerset www.oldmilkingparlour.co.uk

became a mini photo shoot.  We have now been asked to do a full venue shoot, an exciting project we are really looking forward to and can't wait to share with you.

Centrepieces, centrepieces, this is going to be a creative year for us.  So we are busy designing.

Baby showers.. what a great party, lots of pink and yellow china chosen by Mum. Lots of pink bubbly for the guests and tea in the most gorgeous cup for mum-to-be..

Our lovely friend Sadie at www.cakesbysadiesmith.co.uk held a Christmas cooking demonstration event, her gorgeous cakes on some of our christmassy gold and white china.  Beginning to feel a lot like Christmas and making me hungry, those chocolate brownies look amazing.

Pop over to her blog for recipes and baking chat.

During the summer we were lucky to be involved in the most beautiful Secret Garden Wedding with a vintage theme at the amazing Larmer Tree.

We supplied pink, yellow and peach china with vintage glass bowls for strawberries, champagne saucers and

Summer is sadly nearly over, September round the corner and the Autumn Wedding Fairs are about to begin. We are now getting creative and designing a new display, another cup of tea first and perhaps another biscuit, someone has been at the biscuit jar, so a digestive it will have to be.

 Here is a section of one of our previous displays -The Tipping Teapot.
