Bottle Green Homes

Today on shops i love I wanted to share with you a new shop I have just discovered; Bottle Green Homes. Bottle Green Homes is an online boutique selling wonderful home and lifestyle products sourced solely from the British Isles. They have selected a combination of gorgeous, interesting and practical items for you and your home. Their range consists of delightfully individual products like the pretty spot lambswool cushions with fringing and matching throw in colourful spearmint, vintage glass bottles, and stylish reclaimed wooden boxes. I am coveting the vintage reclaimed London wooden "Brick Lane" and "Hoxton Square" signs.

Ella May ~ My Little Vintage Caravan

Today I wanted to introduce you to Ella May, a little vintage caravan. I met her at The Vintage Wedding Fair and what a cutie she is! Decked out in the prettiest florals, crochet blankets and whimsical British flag cushions she is a delight to behold. She is available to hire for weddings, photo shoots and vintage tea parties, has seating and space for afternoon tea for up to nine people. Oh, and her cupboards are full of retro games, magazines and toys for you to discover!
