Mr C has been framing some of my old classroom prints this week. Some will be sold but this one I am keeping as it is one of my favourites. They look great in old frames painted with chalky paints .
This is a gorgeous barbola fire screen I bought from Vicki of Ticklepenny Vintage at the Northampton Vintage Fair last Saturday.
I also treated myself to this pretty handmade cushion from 'Vicky Loves Vintage' also at the fair. The duvet cover was a surprise find in TK MAXX last week. They had quite a few Cath Kidston duvet covers and pillow cases at bargain prices.
The pretty floral Vernon Ward picture was another buy from Vicki of Ticklepenny Vintage. It has a lovely frame and Mr C gave it a quick coat of paint to smarten it up. It has now joined the other Vernon Ward pictures dotted around the stairs and landing.
The two small ones below are my favourites.
I have had a few lucky finds in charity shops in the last couple of weeks. I spotted the old dolls pram and assorted dolls including a Rosebud and Roddy doll being unloaded outside a charity shop as I went past. I popped in and the ladies were unpacking three bin bags full of old dolls which had been been owned by an old lady. The pram is very sweet but the hood is sadly disintegrating. I am not sure what I will do with it but it is good for displaying vintage dolls and teddies.
Finally the 'pot' below which was another charity shop find has been put to good use holding the pretty azalea some friends at work gave me for my birthday.

How do you do it? You always manage to find such lovely things - I think I will have to change my hunting ground to Northamptonshire! The pram is the epitome of cuteness and all your framed prints look great.

You bargain hunter you! I love absolutely all of your buys and your Vernon Ward collection is super! A lovely post :-)
Gorgeous finds! I bought a CK kingsize duvet cover in TK Maxx half price last week.They had quite a few,and pillowcases too. :0)
i had a rosebud doll...I used to sew and knit her clothes, think thats what got me started on a lifelong love affair with textiles. Love the way you have made a substantial collection of Vernon Ward.
Love that pram with the little dolls in it - so cute.
