Spring Photoshoot

                             

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Spring is here and I'm so excited! This winter has gone on long enough, it's time to ditch the winter woollies and grab onto that cute spring jacket. 

Spring is seen as the season of new starts, new life and beauty. It is a time to be one with nature and appreciate its pure grace. I picked the photo shoot that best expressed all these qualities. Spring is a burst of new life, not just literally but for everyone, it is a time to start fresh. In this way our models found the joy of Spring and explored a fresh new romantic pathway. 

*Laughing the days away with loved ones.*

*Rejoicing with nature.*

*Let your feeling take you wherever they want to go.*

The World of Vintage Fabric and Creativity!

The World of Vintage fabric and Creativity! 

 Hello all! I am ever so apologetic towards the lack of articles i have posted recently! But we have been very busy, and illness' have affected us all! I myself am rather ill still, so i again i am so sorry sweeties!

So the chilly weather is coming, and we all want to feel cozy in our homes! We could also want something to do on a rainy day! Or a fun and cheap way to make gifts for Christmas time! I know you may be thinking, Christmas,already? But if you start now the more time you have! 
So what is this genius idea of mine, i here you asking? 
Well... it is simply fabric. Wonderful , Glorious Fabric. 
With the right instructions, it is so much easier than most people imagine to make the most wonderful, cushion covers, curtains, clothing, patchwork quilt! 
You may be thinking, is she mad? There is no way i could do that? Well as they say anything is possible, why not take up the challenge? 

For making clothing you can find clothing patterns online, or at your local sewing/craft shop! For an Online example click HERE!
If you want to know some more about patchwork quilts , read one of my earlier articles by clicking HERE!

Today lets start with cushion covers! 
Cushion Covers are an easy thing to make , and it is even easier to transform an old cushion cover. 

Transforming!
If you have an old cushion cover then the base of your cushion is already there! All you need is a fabulous piece of material, you simply tack it on to the front of the cushion,  then to sew it properly into place you could hand sew it , or you could machine sew it!
Now for the fun part.. what material?
My first place to look for fabric is always Cath Kidston, even if i am on a tighter budget, it never hurts to get inspiration and ideas!

This is a really sweet material! Simple and colourful!

Personally, i find it perfect for kids! I think it is a lovable material!

There are so many more from the Cath kidston collection, perfect for kids, full of colour, and fun!

For Example..

And the Cath Kidston collection keeps continuing to please with these fabulous patterns, perfect for any gift!

All those shown are £22 a metre or less.
For LOADS more of this gorgeous material visit there website, by clicking HERE!

However, Christmas is a festive,wonderful time of the year, and we all know that its the thought that counts, not the money! There is gorgeous material out there, no matter the price!
For example, here are some fabulous sites! 
Vintage style ,£10 or less a metre!
Retro Wallpaper, £10 or less , half a metre! (More than enough to transform a cushion!)

There are so many books to teach you about how to make so many different things! 
Click HERE for a recommended book about how to make cushion covers for only £6.00!

Thank you so much for reading my vintage lovelies! Hope you have fun getting crafty with your gorgeous fabric finds! Much Love, Buttercup!x

Vintage Tea Rooms at the Norfolk Show!x

Hello all! 
The Country Rose and myself explored the Norfolk Show on Thursday and thought we could share bits of our day with you! There were so many lovely stall holders, but one in particular that we want to share with you is...

These people were so lovely! They run a traveling vintage tea room  It all started when the woman in charge, a lovely bubbly lady, was talking about how she hated coffee with a strong passion and want the traditional tea back! Their aim is to bring Tea Drinking back into England!!

Their bubbly team were so sweet! They were really welcoming and all gorgeous! They rock the vintage style very well, as their uniforms are pretty vintage clothes, matched with bright lipsticks!!

 Here is the lovely team! Along with myself and The CountryRose! 

 We took lots of photos so we could show you a tour around their wonderful set up!! They were amazing and let us go behind the scenes as well!! They even sang us a lovely song , Unfortunately another team member has the recording but i will hope to have it on here soon!

Lets take a look at all the cute little touches! If you are a follower of this blog and have been for a while you will know i love Cute little Touches.

Look at all the different type of tea, Really shows that tea is far from boring.

They know that no one likes waiting for their tea so they send round vintage magazines and  the staff have chit-chats with the customers. Its such a personal experience too, that we really reccomend!

The gorgeous and finely detailed  vintage crockery.


 

 Then there is the overall picture , I must say the interior is gorgeous and is one to add to my article about 1940's kitchens! 

Yum to those cakes!

Wow!! it is just too cute!!

 They have worked so hard towards this and I am so glad that they got this award, they all really deserve it! It was such a lovely atmosphere and if any of you are reading right now! You were all soo lovely , thank you so much for a wonderful time!

You can follow them on Twitter (We do!) :https://twitter.com/TeaVintage
And LIKE them on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TeaVintageTeaRoom

Here is their website. For more pictures and information from them click here! It is on my favorites bar.
A quote taken from this website is: "Step back in time for a cup of the best! Tea Vintage is a travelling tearoom with a 1940s style." 
Which we all here at Vintage Country Rose Back up completely!

They really do a great job at bringing back the vintage experience, the mood and atmosphere is so jolly with authentic music and surroundings all to match the 1940's vintage theme! But not only do they do tea but lovely cakes and biscuits and proper sandwiches all made with love and care. 
We love them , so if you ever are fortunate enough to see them around then why not go in? Have a cuppa and enjoy , or why not hire them yourself, maybe you have a wedding,festival, summer ball, a birthday or any other celebration! if so book them! I highly recommend it you won't regret it! The team are lovely and what they have created is amazing! Support their blog too by clicking here .
