Vintage bits and bobs.

Chatting to my mum about my vintage embroidery, on Monday evening, brought me a small treat! Four small dishes, which she purchased at Newton Abbot market some years ago, from an antique stall.

Depicting the popular crinoline lady,I think they are rather lovely...
Matching up well with my crinoline lady napkins

All I need now is the tablecloth to match.. I bought one ages ago to embroider but as yet..!

Meanwhile, if you are interested,here are some snippets of info :

    I love love love crinoline ladies! My fave is a pink tablecloth with a crinoline lady in each corner, 50p from a car boot. It's great to see all you vintage treasures. Lovely blog.

    Best wishes

    The embroidered crinoline ladies are so pretty - I like your dishes too. I have a Lloyd Loom laundry box with an embroidery of a crinoline lady on top under glass. Thanks for the link to the fashion era site - it's fascinating!

    I love the tablecloth, the flowers are beautiful.
    I have to admit that I've never been keen on crinoline lady designs (sorry),but have to say I'm changing my mind.

    You just need four crinoline ladies to come to tea now! The cloth and napkins really are a work of art, and lovely dishes from your Mum. x
