Hello there!
After a short break, we’re back this weekend.
Saturday, find us @cheltenhamantiquesmarket. It’s the closest thing to a French Brocante you will find in the UK all in the glorious Regency setting of the Promenade and Long Gardens. We’re there every second and last Saturday July and August😎
Sunday, we return to @the_garage_chilwell Nottingham
Another iconic venue, Sunday is a special vintage edition and it will be lovely to see @dollydragonflies and @lawsonandhorsley alongside a whole host of vintage traders💚
Lots of finds, hope you like this drinks edition along with mustard pots. Tillandsia blossoming for a pop of colour too🩷💜
Have a lovely week and see you soon xx

Are you awake yet? The kind folks of @so.retro.events have taken into account that you might need a lie in and then want to come out and celebrate and we can think of no better place for vintage lovers than the Vintage Spectacular in the iconic Stockport Market Hall
We have a fabulous selection of stock, ideal teacher gifts and all beautifully sustainable paired with low maintenance house plants.
Perhaps the Norwegian plaque might find a home after last night’s result?
So for a fantastic day out of all things vintage, come down 11 am onwards and another bonus, it’s a lot cooler and more comfortable than of late.
If you can’t make it and want something putting aside, DM.
Have a fab Sunday 💚🌞😊

Cheltenham @cheltenhamantiquesmarket, we’re ready for you in the blissful shade of the trees opposite Cavendish House outside Waterstones
We’re not boasting, but we have some seriously lovely stock today and a gorgeous selection of plants.
Looking for a gift for your teacher? Prove you have been listening to those lessons on sustainability by giving something with a past and a future. Beyeux Tapestry Limoges jug and Tillandsia saves you the trek to the British Museum 😉Falstaff and Dickens Toby jugs for your English teachers…
There’s a bumper crop of great traders today including @tobiasvintagethreads @nimiandcompany
@queenofspecs and more…
Here until 5, can’t get here? DM and we’ll put it aside for you 💚

Prepping for a bumper weekend…
Saturday you will find us @cheltenhamantiquesmarket, blessed with lots of trees it’s the perfect place for a summer browse. Find us there in July and August, the second and last Saturday of the month alongside a host of wonderful, eclectic traders.
On Sunday, we’re excited to join @so.retro.events for The Vintage Spectacular in Stockport,in addition to the Vintage, there’s entertainment, food and drink and a host of immersive activities.
We have our plants and also a lot of other vintage goodies. Think a certain football match on Saturday might dictate whether the 🇳🇴pewter wall plaque sells😉
Loads more, DM if you want anything putting by
Kevin off to collect latest plant order, check tomorrow what we have paired them with
In the words of the Fonz, stay cool 😎

Very happy for two fantastic local events this weekend.
Saturday sees us literally across the road from our house in the wonderful annual jamboree that is COCOMAD @cotteridgepark
Celebrating community, music, art, drama in addition to street food, drinks all in the glorious setting of Cotteridge Park. What’s more, it’s completely free, although this volunteer led event always welcomes donations to keep this event and the park going.
Sunday sees us @warleywoodscommunitytrust Picnic in the Park. This beautiful 100 acre Humphry Repton landscape is another wonderful green space, much loved by the local community and again expect street food, entertainment and a dog show.
Lots of new stock, new plants and @secretsinglerecords
Have a great week and see you soon💚

Delighted to be back in Cheltenham outside Waterstones @cheltenhamantiquesmarket after our son’s wedding and a holiday. Expect to see us over the summer here with our selection of vintage and plants💚
When we first started in 2019, we specialised in vintage tins and e have gone back to our roots with some outdoor sempervivum and ivy.
It’s sunny but not scorching, so why not head over and enjoy the best outdoor curated vintage market💚
Just off to @thepromcoffeeco to grab coffee and debate whether it’s too early for ice cream 🍦
