Festive Fun

I can't believe this will be my last blog for 2025. I'm reminded of the old saying "time flies when your having fun" and this year has certainly flown past! The photo above was actually taken back at the beginning of November when I assisted my daughter Bethany with her family Christmas photoshoots. She hired a local barn and together we created a variety of festive sets including one with Desmond, my husband's beloved vintage VW campervan. I had great fun sourcing vintage props for each mini setup. My job on the day was to meet and greet clients and make sure all the props were reset after each session. My daughter worked her magic behind the lens and created some wonderful memories for 20 families over the weekend. Many of the photos were used to create personalised gifts, Christmas cards or calendars. Have a look at her instagram page @bethanygracephotography to see some of the beautiful images taken.

Also in November I took part in the Christmas @penshurstvintagefair. This fabulous fair is renowned for its beautiful displays of vintage treasures and unique decorative pieces. I had an amazing day and it was lovely to catch up with fellow stallholders and returning customers as well as meet new vintage enthusiasts.Recently I've been busy with my own Christmas preparations as well as packing and posting Etsy orders. Thank you so much for supporting my small business, it is so very much appreciated especially at this busy time of year. I only source and make items which I love and would have in my home so I'm thrilled when you appreciate them too. I have lots of new stock ready to be added to my Etsy shop in the new year (see link on main page) but to make room for these new treasures keep an eye out for a little sale coming soon.

So finally, as the big day approaches I would just like to wish you and your families a very happy and fun-filled Christmas and a joyful New Year!

Warm festive wishes,
