hummingbird cards

Well! The first thing I am pondering is why I always decide to update my blog so late at night and after several glasses of wine!! The first challenge is to remember my password (always a worry!) then I'm on a roll! So, my news today is I have a new friend! Sally-Ann contacted me about a marquee hire, but sadly we couldn't help as we were already fully booked, but, you know how it is... we got chatting and I discovered that Sally-Ann's business is making THE MOST BEAUTIFUL stationery! It is all lazer cut; the most delicate lace effect designs with (I think) a wonderful vintage feel. Sally Ann's company will of course create bespoke designs for each individual event, but we are planning to work on some 'vintage marquee' invitations etc...very exciting! So have a look at her web site www.hummingbirdcards.co.uk ..very special stuff! I would love to post a picture now, but having just moved, I have clerverly kept my camera to hand, but packed away the charger!! (along with all my important bank details, cheque books etc..oh joy!!) more next time...

Hunting and gathering!

Well. we've done it! Belle is on her way! Quite pretty I think! Made from cream canvas and 4m round, she will fit in well with the other marquees and may well gain a few sisters if she proves to be popular!

More fairly lights are also on the way, and fairy light hearts which I think will look lovely against the canvas at night. 100 fabulous old church hall style chairs should be arriving on Monday, very exciting as I have been looking for some for ages.

With each new booking and enquiry I have new (old) items to source. Next on the agenda are old crystal vases for flowers.. a hunting we will go...!

feeling displaced!

Well, we have just sold our house so are now renting for a while. Very odd and quite cosy and lovely to have only 10% of our posessions with us, but all our family and our animals, more than enough really. Why (and how!) do we gather so much stuff around us!!
So we have had to loose our phone number (so the 01249 one no longer exists) so I am only contactable via e-mail or mobile.
Still masses of activity on the Vintage Marquee front. Lots of wedding bookings for this summer.
I have bought more wooden folding chairs, so have a fairly extensive stock now.
I am hoping to buy a bell tent soon to add to my collection, she will be called Belle of course!
