Wearing some lovely vintage from my shop. The dress is the most gorgeous vintage Laura Ashley in a size 14 and the shawl is a sweet hand knit that I bought on a trip to Brugge a few years ago, but decided to sell as I can’t keep everything! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Follow the link in my bio to check out these and lots of other gorgeous vintage from @vintagefrillsshop.

Today I hit 800 sales on my shop! Me and Rob have a tradition of having a little celebration every 100 sales, so that’s a bit exciting! Thank you so much to everyone who supports my small business and everything I do, it means the world to me that I get to do something I love, even when everything else is a bit rubbish atm. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s a few little treasures from the shop. If you want to see more go and follow @vintagefrillsshop or click the link in my bio. I have over 200 pieces in the shop at the moment and loads of different sizes and budgets.

AD | Isn't it lovely getting back outside? I'm always so busying a mum, running my business and just doing everyday things. But I always try to get outside and relax in nature to recharge my batteries, listen to the birds sing, breath the fresh air and enjoy gorgeous views. I've talked a bit more about this in my latest blog post, which also features my gorgeous new sandals from @hottershoes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I've been a bit absent on here and on the blog over the last few weeks, as I've been working really hard on my vintage shop. I'm pretty rubbish at keeping on top of all my platforms at once, so go and check out @vintagefrillsshop for all the pretty vintage things or go to the link in my bio to check out the shop. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've also been working behind the scenes on getting the blog up and running and have been writing non stop, so as soon as I've taken pics for all my blog posts they'll be up very soon too. Watch this space! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's a peek at some of the pretty dresses on the shop at the moment, including lots of very special vintage Laura Ashley dresses and lots of pretty prints in a great mix of sizes.

Hi! It’s been a while so I thought I’d reintro

Hi! It’s been a while so I thought I’d reintroduce myself. I'm Catherine, I'm 35 years old and mum to 9 and 15 year old girls, who keep me very very busy!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been writing my blog Vintage Frills since 2012 and selling vintage since about 2009. I run @vintagefrillsshop a little Etsy shop selling lots of gorgeous vintage things. I'm constantly looking out for gorgeous old things to fill my home, wardrobe and shop. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When life is a bit more normal, I love going on photo walks, visiting country houses and getting out of London to explore the countryside. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm at my happiest rummaging through piles of clothes at car boot sales and charity shops and I've missed doing that a lot this past year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I currently have stupidly long hair because I was too lazy to get it cut for a long time and then lockdown happened, but I kinda like it on good days when it behaves! (currently sporting a very sad looking bun) I also managed to set fire to it a little while cooking on the hob the other day, so definitely time for a cut! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Wearing a vintage Laura Ashley dresses with a 50s beaded cardigan, both of which I recently sold in my shop. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You'll find a mix of my favourite vintage outfits, pretty vintage finds and hopefully soon some of the places I go and things I do on here.

Leafing through my collection of vintage magazine

Leafing through my collection of vintage magazine and fashion books this morning looking for some Spring inspiration. Now I want a time machine so I can bring back all the gorgeous dresses!

One from a couple of weeks ago, during my short lived phase of making an effort during lockdown. Now the snows hit and home schooling continues, I'm back to comfy leggings every day! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is one of my favourite vintage dresses, gorgeous print, autumnal colours and biggest besets sleeves ever. Hoping to be able to wear it out somewhere special later in the year, when hopefully a little normality returns. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Beppe the cat always shows an interest when I'm taking pics and loves to get in on the action. Such a cutie!

Ad my shop Celebrating hitting 700 hundred sales

Ad my shop Celebrating hitting 700 hundred sales on the shop this weekend! 2020 was a long hard year in which everything went wrong for our family. It really was awful! But working on the shop really kept me going. Your orders mean more to us than you’ll ever know.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are a couple of my hand made bows. The shop is also full of gorgeous vintage dresses, pretty accessories and lots of lovely vintage jewellery.

I love layering up my favourite summer dresses so

I love layering up my favourite summer dresses so I can wear them all year. This @hm William Morris dress has been one of my faves since I got it a few years ago. It’s super warm worn with a jumper underneath, some tights and my boots from @willsveganstore ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do you make use of your wardrobe year round? I’d love to hear your tips.

When I was little my grandparents had a little boo

When I was little my grandparents had a little bookshelf in their spare room, full of lovely old children’s books from when their children were small. I inherited them all and they're such a treasure to me. I've been enjoying looking through some of them this week, this is my favourite because all the pictures are so pretty!
