About Me

I live in the beautiful south west of England..with a love of vintage and nostalgia.. childhood ephemera, toys, and decorative antiques..to name but a few.. I have been a greeting card designer for 14 years and now I indulge my passions by collecting and selling vintage toys and making mixed media shadow boxes. I have 3 wonderful men in my life, my man, my son and my tabby tom cat..Pickles.. they keep me sane and drive me insane but they are my inspiration and I love them for it.. fleas and all!

The squish of mud between your toes; how would you live your life as a frog?

with welly's on!
