vintage look shabby style white vine leaf plate, like Carltonware reproduction

Written on Wednesday, December 12th, 2007 :: 0 comments to this post

This is a lovely shabby look vine leaf plate, in the style of the highly collectable and sought-after Carltonware. With raised veins, and a scalloped wave edge, this is every bit the Calrtonware look, but without the hefty price tag.

The plate is an off-white colour (not quite cream, but not pure white) and measures roughly 10″ at the widest points. This would look gorgeous alongside your ’shabby chic’ goodies, and makes a great feature for serving up treats at a dinner party. An ideal gift and a super idea for Christmas!

White bridal feather bird clip

Written on Wednesday, December 5th, 2007 :: 0 comments to this post

This elegant little white bird hair clip is covered in and decorated with white feathers. Unusual, beautiful, and easy to wear fascinator clip that is the perfect finishing touch to any bridal hair style. The small clip will easily pop in to an ‘up’ bridal hairstyle, and the spray of tail feathers look great against longer hair too, as well as being ideal for bridesmaids. A pair of these look great together too, and we also have this clip available in black.
