Had to include this picture - lovely tea set and Sanderson curtains with a fabulous wedding photo - not sure whether its hand tinted but I really liked the pinky contrasts!
Found the lovely suitcase at a charity shop (I can see this charity shop making a lot of money out of me as they are going to concentrate on vintage items!)
Very tempted to become a volunteer!
Also had to buy the red polka dot eiderdown with its little floral nosegays...
For the sugar glass lovers amongst you this is the best piece of sugar glass I've found so far - very large and heavy and definitely a keeper - for now!
And finally a little Lloyd Loom covered seat with original paint and fabric. It still has its label and the date stamp showing it was produced in 1955. The fabric is gorgeous and typical of the period. Love it!
I've been picking up Lloyd Loom pieces for years but try to find those with their original paint jobs. I did repaint one but they are easily ruined with globules of paint sitting in all the recesses of the weave so I learnt my lesson. I suppose they could be one of my collections! I can feel another post coming on!

I am deeply covetous of your Lloyd Loom seat. What wonderful sources you have.
ReplyDeleteooohhh lovely finds. I love the frosted glass jug as you know i collect all this myself, but that is a stunner. Lovely suitcase you can never have to many i feel, and the loom seat what a beauty you lucky lady ;-)) enjoy, dee x
ReplyDeleteHi I think I may have met you at the Vintage Fair at Southwell - I was running the stall for Louise of Hope and Elvis. Think I may have spotted that lovely eidy in your arms. If it was 'hello' if not please excuse me.
ReplyDeleteI must say , I admire your lack of restraint when faced with all these treasures . Quite rightly you decided to take them all home .
ReplyDeleteA woman after my own heart !
Wow Wend, you have found some amazing things. I really like the suitcase and eiderdown. hopefully some of your finds will be coming with you to The Olney Fair.

That Lloyd loom and the fabric on it are so very, very wantable.......
ReplyDeletefab finds, thank you for educating me in the name of that frosted glass, never knew it was known as Sugar Glass, but it makes perfect sense! Lizzie
ReplyDeleteI'm with Cathy! I love that fabric on the Lloyd Loom. Yellow and grey work at the best of times but combined with an original piece..... I want it!!.... and the suitcase.... and the wedding photograph.... great finds Wend. You have a really talent for tracking down the best things!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous things as usual! You have a great knack of finding the lovliest bits - I am on the look-out for a similar suit-case as something unusual to display my pieces in/on at craft fairs!
ReplyDeleteHe Wend, the DA rose is called LD Braithwaite and actually turns even darker than in the photo and is really beautiful.
