In 2012, I was lucky enough to work for both an antique dealer and auction house based in London. Whilst doing this I set up a business, 'Vintage Homeware', and started buying and selling to cafes, florists, and specialised shops. This eventually led to commissioned jobs for clients.

 

I did this whilst raising a small family, but after a while, I decided to focus on bringing up my children and put the business on the back burner. Now with the boys older, I can finally start again.

 

After spending months researching and weighing up which direction to go, the decision to focus on my love for mid-century objects and design, especially the 50s era was an all out winner.

 

As a young child I loved looking at all the ornaments from the 60s and 70s dotted around my Nana's house, Im always on the hunt looking for the local antique shops or markets whenever and wherever I go on my travels.

 

My passion has never stopped and I hope that you can follow me along this journey. I want you to love your purchases as much as we love finding them.
