One of my favourite vintage items - a Bakelite hairdryer in its original packaging with full instruction paperwork. Isn't it amazing? Can imagine someone prepping their 1960s bouffant on a Saturday night with this retro beauty. Vintage Items, Hairdryer, Bouffant, Saturday Night, Paperwork, Bakelite, 1960s

Love this little box of sewing bits and bobs. It belonged to my Gran, which makes it extra special. Instagram @meyouandmagoo Little Boxes, Bits And Bobs, Unscented, Coding, Extra, Love, Instagram

Another beautiful piece of vintage fabric has landed in my Etsy shop. The mustard yellow tones really stand out on the chocolate brown background. In fantastic condition, the colours really pop. This is a large piece, so plenty of fabric to play with! Child Rearing, Retro Floral, Kids Entertainment, Vintage Textiles, Floral Fabric, Handmade Shop, Fall Wreath

I have wanted one of these vintage Brown Betty teapots for such a long time. I managed to track one down in a local charity shop and I am in love! Perfect for brewing up my favourite blend of tea. Brown Betty, First Down, Teapots, Vintage Brown, Over The Years

I have recently discovered the joys of collecting vintage childrens books. The retro cover designs are fabulous. The latest additions to my vintage book collection are 'Heidi' and 'The Faraway Tree' by Enid Blyton.

One of my latest finds -a vintage Women's Institute cup and saucer - patriotic aren't they? I love the 'For Home and Country' motto on the side. Where does the motto come from? Laura Rose was the first Women's Institute organiser, she worked to promote the WI for 35 years. Her suggestion 'For Home and Country' was adopted as the WI motto in 1902. This badge was modified to become the first badge of the WIs in Britain. Womens Institute, Laura Rose, Motto, Modified, Cup And Saucer, Britain, Patriotic

Bargain of the day - I bought this vintage houseplant book for 90 pence in a local jumble sale. I turned straight to the succulent page. So much useful information in this handy little book. Selling Books, Houseplant, Little Books, Instagram Photo
