Instagram Snaps - June 2014

well another month over, the year seems to be flying by, its six months since I started my little venture and it's grown so much in a short space of time......

.....I'm a lover of home DIY, a little bit addicted to decorating my home, but since I've started Heart Vintage it has taken a back seat. The only room I am yet to finish is the guest room. I've done quite a bit of research (also addicted to moodboards for anything!if it needs research it NEEDS a moodboard) so I know exactly what I want the room to look like, the trouble is finding everything I imagine for it. I have however, decided on the colours. A dark indigo feature wall, lots of white and aqua highlights. I picked the ceiling light shade up from a local charity shop, removed the fabric and spray painted it - pretty happy with my little up-cycling project.

.....I try and visit my mum and stepdad as often as I can, we tend to try and fit in as much as we can when we do see it other, this weekend was no different. I lost count of the amount of car boots we went to, the highlight was definitely the Royal Three Counties Show, so much inspiration for my little yarden.

.....lots of hot weather meant I was able to work outside. The plants have finally flowered and this inspired my next range of Heart Vintage plates....botanical vintage drawings, go check them out over in my Etsy shop.

....I've also been busy working a new range for The Exchange Bar, a little bit of vintage and a little bit of music, can't wait to show you the final designs.

.....oh and I've been invited to attend Selina Lake's Handmade & Vintage Summer Fete next month, super excited to be asked! so much planning and designing to do. I can't wait until next month!

Instagram Snaps - May 2014

here's what Heart Vintage have been up to in May.....

.....it was Selina Lakes book signing at Powder Blue, the signing took place outside in the sunshine. It was a lovely day with vintage stalls and Heart Vintage wares.....I launched my up-cycled candles too.

.....wedding season is well and truly here, lots of beautiful wedding plates designed and printed.  

.....I've had a lovely request for a set of three bespoke plates of a little girls bedroom, I incorporated her drawings into the design to make it a beautiful keepsake.

.....my up-cycled hoops have been added to my stockist Powder Blue, I printed iconic 

quotes to make these a lovely additional to any vintage home.

....my vintage illustration designs are my bestsellers so far, another set has been added to my Etsy shop.

.....I made a trip to see my favorite artist's works in Manchester at the Lowry Gallery. The venue was also host to a food fair which attracted local food and drink stall holders. 

This was my favorite stall Ox Eye Daisy - I loved the up-cycled herb planters.
