Nothing can brighten up a dull winters day more, than finding a new little china or glass treasure. Bright floral china adds a touch of spring, and stunning vintage glassware adds a splash of colour even on the darkest day, especially when placed in a window.
The fact that so many china pieces are decorated with floral patterns, reflects our love for spring and summer, and beautiful coloured glass, just has a way of lifting the spirits.
Growing up, the word ‘antique’ brought pictures to mind of sombre dark rooms, with dark furniture,  and a little colour. But as my love for vintage grew, I could see how beautiful these antiques really were, the quality and the skill involved in making these items, with sometimes limited technology, is astounding. And the colour, well it really is there in spades. The vintage world is certainly not ‘shades of grey’.
