Too Lovely

Mini Vintage Bunting

My vintage bunting can be used in the garden on a dry day, though they are few and far between at the moment. These florals were hand printed in the USA in the thirties.

Mini Vintage Bunting

I’ve been making vintage bunting for many years and now I also make vintage patchwork bunting and mini vintage bunting (pictured).

My bunting isn’t the sort which is used to decorate large venues, marquees or streets. I source my fabric from all over the world. Some of it was handmade in the thirties and forties. Some is hand dyed. The sort of colours and patterns I like weren’t too difficult to get a few years ago, now unfortunately it’s like gold dust so every little piece is precious. I add small pieces of gingham, polka dots and muslin and make it by the meter. Each little piece is like a jewel and I cut them all differently and I also dye some myself so that each string of bunting is a beautifully precious little collection of quality vintage fabric in glorious ice cream colours.

Helexine growing at the bottom of the summer house

Helexine

Helexine or ‘mind your own business’ as it’s commonly called.

I love Helexine so much and how it spreads everywhere in shady places. It starts off as one small plant and gradually creeps around supposedly in everyone’s business which is where it gets it’s name ‘Mind Your Own Business’.
