We would like to pay
special thanks to Lynn who was kind enough to lend us this beautiful
Singer sewing machine which belonged to her nana Lillian in 1933. The
machine was given to her as an engagement present from her husband
Fredrick which led Lillian to believe that he just wanted to marry
her so she could mend all his clothes! He was reminded of this
throughout their marriage though he did make up for this with a
lovely engagement ring which has now been passed down to Lynn. Thank
you to Lynn and her mum for allowing us to capture the vintage
romance of that era!</div>

always say, it's so lovely when customers we have worked with take
the time to send over some pictures of the items we have created for
them so that we can see how they were incorporated into their special
event. We recently received some fabulous photos taken by <a href="http://www.theowlandthepussycatweddingphotography.com/" target="_blank">The Owl and the Pussycat Wedding Photography </a>from the lovely Janet and Richard, who we worked with a
couple of months ago to create some items for their 1940s themed
wedding held on 6</span><sup><span style="font-size: small;">th</span></sup><span style="font-size: small;">
July 2013.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Janet
and Richard had asked us to capture the nostalgic, wartime romance of
this era that they were styling their wedding around and so we set to
work on their favour boxes, menus and lots of signage to display on
the tables and around their venue. They also wanted to add a touch of
swing, with some fun swing dance imagery to create this party
atmosphere during the reception. </span>So we had in mind a
fusion of 1940s wartime romance, vintage style Union Jack bunting and
swing dance silhouettes to create something special for this lovely
couple. And that we did!<br />

We created our Pillow Talk Favour Boxes for each guest, which are handmade using our
treasured excerpts from a 1940s love letter, written by a girl called
Anna to her soldier sweetheart Jack who was away at war at the time.
The boxes were printed with a selection of hopeful and romantic words
and these were displayed at guest's place settings.
</div>
We also made some
custom freestanding menus using a kraft brown and ivory colour scheme for
that vintage feel, featuring a swing dance image, union jack bunting
and pearl heart embellishment. To compliment these, we created some
signage for Janet and Richard's 'Postbox' and also a Candy Buffet
sign which was displayed in a vintage style ornate frame.<br />

we absolutely loved creating some pieces for their vintage suitcase
table plan which the couple put together themselves. They lined the
inside of an old suitcase with black and white images of the 1940s
featuring swing dance bands, movie stars and wartime sweethearts. We
made them the tags to hang inside which displayed their table names
and guests seating arrangements and embellished these with small
pearl hearts to give an elegant, vintage feel. I think they did an
amazing job putting it all together!</span><br />

This bespoke service will enable you to create
something personal for that special occasion, be it a wedding,
birthday, Christening, hen party, bridal/baby shower or anything else
your heart desires! They are also perfect if you own a cupcake
company and have a special request from a customer or can be
used as branding if you are exhibiting at an upcoming wedding fair
and wish to promote your company. For example, you could have
'Claire's Cupcakes' printed to promote your business name!</div>

special party picks include printing them with the names of the food
items you are displaying them in for a buffet or tea party, or
perhaps going for something simple such as 'yummy', 'delicious' or
'help yourself' (not that I would need any encouraging to take my
share from a plate of cherry scones..). They would also be ideal for
anyone hosting a Christmas party this year and would like to add a
touch of Twee to their display with a 'merry christmas'.</div>

up! A fantastic solution to the forthcoming increase in lottery
ticket prices which is making giving tickets as wedding favours
virtually impossible for any couple on a budget.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Well,
we like to think we can beat the system and make sure brides and
grooms can still do this for their guests, despite the rising cost
from £1.00 a ticket to £2.00 in the autumn this year. The answer?
We have created two brand new designs which are both economical
enough to ensure style and budget are met for the big day!</span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">'Your Ticket To Riches' Scratch Card Holders are a perfect favour for both
male and female guests which accommodate a standard sized scratch
card. They are created from a recycled kraft cardstock for authentic
vintage appeal and are designed like a travel wallet, making them
ideal if you are having a travel themed wedding or event. They have
been mounted with the image of an old ticket and tied with a twine
bow. The best part of all (no, it's not the potential winning ticket
inside worth millions of pounds..) is that they feature a lucky penny
which is removable and can be kept by your guest as a keepsake! </span></span></div>

Today's blog post has
not been an easy one to write but it was very important that it was,
as it is a special tribute to the person who was responsible for a
lot of Vintage Twee's inspiration. Two weeks ago my Great Auntie
Edith sadly passed away at 94 years old after a long and difficult
struggle with dementia and multiple strokes. We will say goodbye to
her on Monday 25<sup>th</sup> March in her home town of Halifax,
Yorkshire, where she lived and worked as a proud nurse and Matron for
40 years of her life.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is not meant to be
a sad post, but more a chance to give thanks for the childhood
memories that Auntie Edith gave myself and my sister Emma, on those
lovely Sundays when mum and dad would take us there to visit her. We
would always arrive as she was in the middle of baking her homemade
butterfly cakes and scones, Emma and I bounding into the kitchen to
see if she'd waited as always so we could help her prepare the
antique tea trolley. We would load it up with fresh sandwiches and
cakes, as well as her best vintage china, and then fight between
ourselves to be the one who wheeled it into the lounge to serve
everyone! And so from an early age, I had always loved the concept of
afternoon tea and Auntie Edith was the person who taught me all about
good old fashioned hostessing from as far back as I can remember.

Edith was a true business woman whose career meant everything to
her. She had a very kind and gentle nature and used this to help as
many people as she could, progressing through a very successful
nursing career and having the honour of being the last Matron of
Halifax General Hospital. I would often smile at the stories she
would repeat about the 1940s nurses that would try to sneak out of
the hospital with their uniforms on but she always caught them...Or
how she found out from a 5 year old little boy on her Burn's Unit
that whenever she was off duty, the nurses would use her 'bestest
teacups, them with the roses on' to enjoy lengthy tea breaks in her
absence! </div>

Christmas parties held
the funniest memories and the best being the year when I was 9 years
old...I planted my pet hamster into a box of party poppers which my
mum had trusted me to hand around, in the hope to play a trick on
Auntie Edith...you can imagine the trouble I got in when my hamster
landed on her tweed skirt! She would also be the last one standing at
any game we played, her favourite being Musical Chairs to which she
would fight all the children off for the last chair in the room to
win her annual bottle of sherry!</div>

As if the Christmas
party traumas weren't enough proof, Auntie Edith was an extremely
strong, determined woman and, even when she resided in a nursing home
for the last few years of her life with little sight and no memory,
she never uttered a word of complaint. Despite her lack of awareness,
I would still take her a balloon and cake on her birthday – when I
asked her how old she thought she was, I would always get the same
reply: '21 and a bit. But you dont tell anyone the bit'. (something I
may have to use this upcoming August for the big 30...)</div>

Monday will be a very
sad day for all our family who loved and cherished this woman. Auntie
Edith was not just my grandmas oldest sister, but more like a grandma
to us herself, who gave us some wonderful childhood memories that
partly led to the inspiration behind the creation of Vintage Twee
today. She was a true lady, business woman, role model, caring auntie
and the last surviving family member from that generation who we will
love and miss dearly. Vintage Twee will be closed on Monday 25<sup>th</sup>
March 2013 as we say our goodbyes and raise a cup of tea and a scone
in our Great Auntie Edith's treasured memory.</div>

Vintage
Twee has been so excited to share with you the unique items which we
recently created for a fabulous (and local!) Bride and Groom, Lauren
and Ben. We met the lovely couple when they were planning their
vintage movie themed wedding last year and we were delighted to go
along to meet them and discuss some ideas of how we could contribute!</div>

Lauren
and Ben's wedding was on 9<sup>th</sup> March 2013 at the stunning
<a href="http://www.themonastery.co.uk/Weddings.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Manchester Monastery</span></a> (so we can now reveal the items we created
without spoiling the surprise for the guests!). Being huge film fans,
their theme was old Hollywood style with a modern twist...with the
stationery being based upon a collection of their favourite films.
Think timeless black and white for the colour scheme, tall
candleabras with white roses and tealights for the table décor and
black satin and pearl detail throughout. Imagine Vintage Twee's
creative mind ticking over with excitement at the possibilities...!!</div>

With <span style="color: #ea9999;">placecards</span>, table names, a table plan, Guestbook, Order of Service
and Menus to create for their 170 guests, we set to work designing
something unique and fitting for a classically elegant wedding of
this theme. Lauren and Ben wanted to incorporate stills and quotes
from their favourite films which were to feature on the Table Names
and Table Plan. We came up with a design that centred around an old
movie reel – the table names were featured inside this with a
watermark of the still shot from the film behind. Names included 'The
Goonies', 'The Usual Suspects', 'Jurassic Park' and '24 Hour Party
People' to name but a few!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The table plan was a super A1 in size to accommodate all their
guests and mounted into an ivory ornate frame. The header included
repeated watermark quotes from their featured films behind their
names and wedding date (my personal favourite: 'I've fallen for you
like a blind roofer' – guess the film??!!) and the guests seating
allocations were mounted onto luggage style tags which were

<div style="text-align: justify;">
To
continue the old movie style theme, we created some <span style="background-color: white;">retro ticket place cards</span> to fit into clapperboard holders which Lauren and Ben had
sourced themselves. These would have made any of their guests feel
like a movie star when arriving at their seat! Finally we custom made
the lovely couple a beautiful wedding guestbook, Order of Service
cards and Menus along the same theme which, in all the excitement, we
forgot to snap and therefore cant show you these today! Hopefully
Lauren and Ben will have captured these for us and we can share them
with you soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
The best
part of this order for us was being able to hand deliver it to the
Bride and Groom to be as they are based just round the corner from
Vintage Twee! It was so lovely to see them open everything and tell
us that we had managed to capture the essence of their day perfectly
– a true compliment to any designer. I would also like to thank
them for being one of the most organised couples we have ever worked
with – for such a large wedding with so many guests, it was
impeccably organised and a joy to work on!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
So
hopefully this post has given inspiration to any brides and grooms
planning an old Hollywood style wedding. There is however only one
question left on my lips now Lauren and Ben's wedding has taken
place....how did those guests react when they found themselves on
'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' table?!!!!<br />

wedding blog post and request for any photographs of Vintage Twee's
contribution to your events, I received a fabulous email from one of
the loveliest brides of last year, Laura, who sent me some fantastic
pictures of our work in action! We were so pleased to see these
(especially since Laura's wedding was the epitome of Twee...lace,
pearls, cake and tea parties galore!) that we just had to share
them to give this year's bride to be's some real life inspiration for
the big day. Thank you to Nigel Gray Photography for these beautiful
images (contact details at the end of this post) and of course, Laura and Toby who were married on 15<sup>th</sup>
June 2012 at <a href="http://www.northbrookpark.co.uk/" target="_blank">Northbrook Park</a> in Surrey.

a variety of items from us which we created in their beautiful colour
scheme which incorporated dusky pinks, turquoise and cream. They had
touches of an Alice in Wonderland theme for their day, which meant
lots of our infamous Eat Me Party Picks and Drink Me Tags - yey! We custom
made these in a larger size for them to be tied around the necks of
the wine bottles. We also adapted our popular Love Quote Flags to
read quotes from Alice in Wonderland, and these were placed perfectly
in vintage teacups provided by <a href="http://teaspoonevents.co.uk/" target="_blank">Teaspoon Events</a> and stunning flower
displays, created by Laura's friend Fiona Woolley.</div>

Laura and Toby also had
our Vintage Inspired Wedding Guestbook and Keepsake Box featuring on
their guestbook table, which we customised with a special tag with
their names and wedding date on there. Guests placed tags from their
wish tree into the box which made a lovely keepsake for the couple
and holds all their messages of love from friends and family. </div>

We so much enjoyed
creating these items for Laura and Toby and these photographs from
their wedding day illustrate perfectly how the smallest of details
can add the finishing touches. We had to also show you photos of the
little ones, Alfie and Charlie, who looked so cute in their Page Boy
outfits with white plimsolls and socks – children at their finest
:) <br />

We loved working with Laura as she has an especially keen eye for
design and details, having her own textile art business! Take a look
at her website here: <a href="http://www.laurarosetextiles.co.uk/">www.laurarosetextiles.co.uk</a></div>
<br />
So a massive thank you
to Laura and Toby for enabling Vintage Twee to add these special
touches to your wedding day – we loved working with the colours so
much it was one of those orders we were reluctant to let go of!!!! :)
<br />
<br />
Congratulations to you
both on your wedding day! <br />

wanted to write today's blog post as a special thank you to one of
our lovely brides whose email made me smile from ear to ear when it
popped into my inbox this week! Carla got in touch with some fabulous
images of Vintage Twee's creations at her wedding, which took place
last September with a vintage fairytale theme. It's not often we get
to see our items 'in action' so to speak and so we are always
grateful when people take the time to show us just how they were
incorporated into their special day. So this piece is a massive thank
you to Carla and Michael, who were married on 22</span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><sup>nd</sup></span><span style="color: black;">
September 2012 at <a href="http://www.warwick-castle.com/" target="_blank">Warwick Castle</a>. All images are by the fantastic
<a href="http://stevegerrardphotography.com/" target="_blank">Steve Gerrard Photography</a>, and I think you'll agree that they are
simply stunning!</span></span></span><br />

Twee was lucky enough to create a number of fairytale themed items
for Carla and Michael, including our<a href="https://www.blogger.com/goog_417453761"> </a></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Enchanted Fairytale Favour Boxes</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">. These looked beautiful lay at the place settings of the
guests, and fit perfectly amongst the gold and cream colour scheme of
the day. The boxes contained little brown organza bags which were
filled with special personalised M&Ms bought from Las Vegas on
Carla's hen do – 22 of them to represent the date of the wedding, a
beautiful idea! Carla also let us know that there were no boxes left
on the tables at the end of the evening – music to our ears here at
Vintage Twee! We love that people cherish our items as gifts, as well
as décor, and take them home as a memento of the day. </span></span><br />

also had the pleasure of creating some bespoke </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">lottery ticket holders</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
for Carla and Mike, which incorporated the brown, gold and cream
colour scheme and captured the magical essence of the day. These were
placed inside bags and left at guest's place settings..unfortunately
we didn't make any millionaires on the day but £30.00 between
everyone was better than nothing! </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Carla
also requested some </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">confetti cones</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> to be created from the same
fairytale paper that we made her other items from. These were printed
with different sayings such as Happily Ever After, and Once Upon a
Time and were embellished with a gold bow. They looked so beautiful
placed in a basket for guests to take! Carla's mum also got creative
with some additional fairytale paper we printed, and she made origami
shapes for their wish tree and centrepieces! Each tree had a
different shape to match the table name, such as 'Beauty and the
Beast' which featured a rose and Carla displayed her table names in
Italian to follow her dad's heritage. These are so lovely that
perhaps Carla's mum would like a job here.... :)</span></span><br />

for the rock gig and it's back to work for Twee! We have spent the
past few weeks developing our brand new 2013 ranges and it's finally
time to share them with you! There's so many new additions to the
collection that we thought it best to reveal a different one each
week, starting with our completely unique (and eco friendly) Vintage
Travel Range.<br />

</a>As mentioned a couple
of posts ago, Vintage Twee has recently extended our range after
many, many requests and is now creating handmade wedding invitations and Save the Date cards so we can meet all your stationery needs from
start to finish!<br />
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Our Vintage Travel
Range is perfect for anyone planning a travel or 1940s/war time
themed wedding. This range captures a nostalgic feeling and authentic
vintage appeal from the use of kraft browns, twine, old stamps and
beautiful handwritten-type text. Our fabulous Save the Date cards are
in the style of an old postcard and come with a lovely envelope to send them out to your guests in anticipation of the main
invitation. These can then be followed by our vintage travel wedding invitations which are in the style of old tickets, with your main invite
and rsvp card stored within the wallet. The front of the these have
been designed using a vintage map from the late 1800s, old postcard
text and stamp and finished with a hand tied twine bow to fasten the
invitation wallet. </div>

Vintage Twee has been
hard at work the past couple of months, designing and creating
exciting new products for 2013 which we CANT WAIT to show you! It's
all very secretive at the moment but we have brand new (or old?!)
ranges to wow you with, including a variety of vintage themed wedding
invitations and unique matching table décor and accessories like
you've never seen before! More to be revealed soon but until then, we
have something else to feed your vintage obsession with which is
fresh from the workshop...<br />

occasion, including weddings, tea parties, birthdays and bridal or
baby showers. There are different designs to choose from, examples of
which can be seen on our website <a href="http://vintagetwee.com/shop-decor-bunting.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">here</span></a><br />

The height of the
wedding season has kept us extremely busy here at Vintage Twee HQ,
meaning the blog entries have taken a major backseat – until now!
I have received so many lovely thank you emails from brides and
customers who I've worked with over the past couple of years which
really warms my heart and makes everything worthwhile. It's
especially nice when they send me images from their wedding or
occasion to show me how my work has been incorporated – an extra
nice surprise as it's not often I get to see it once it's left the
studio, all tissued and bowed up!</div>
<br />
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
So I thought I would
share some of these images with you – to acknowledge the fabulous
photographers and companies who have captured these lovely pictures
and to also show you the many different ways that these items have
been used - for your inspiration! Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to send me these amazing photos, it is very much appreciated!</div>

Inspired and facilitated by the wonderful Claire from <a href="http://english-wedding.com/" target="_blank">English Wedding</a> blog, myself and <a href="http://www.niafiori.com/nf/Home.html" target="_blank">Nia Fiori</a> were introduced to the extremely talented <a href="http://chrishanleyphotography.com/" target="_blank">Chris Hanley Photography</a> (and his beautiful riverside studio...) with a view to taking part in a creative photoshoot. The aim: to showcase our brands and capture the true essence of our work in the most inventive way possible! <br />
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ7M3YScdStKn-T7C9Bo4rE9FJpRJYkXN91kIQJkzHjuZWhP_aLYgnv0IJx23VXjaHh29GvEj2gXtKvDOBdZ3F5TwbJYpjaeyfc_LGa-IziwG9pvzWbkN-ZYQTDue8N_sgYm4aGqkm7C1j/s1600/TandF0023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ7M3YScdStKn-T7C9Bo4rE9FJpRJYkXN91kIQJkzHjuZWhP_aLYgnv0IJx23VXjaHh29GvEj2gXtKvDOBdZ3F5TwbJYpjaeyfc_LGa-IziwG9pvzWbkN-ZYQTDue8N_sgYm4aGqkm7C1j/s400/TandF0023.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Now usually being more comfortable BEHIND the camera, Twee and Fiori got together to devise a storyline and set of images which would bring their work to life. Starting with Fiori's infamous doodles over a Starbucks (hold the caramel waffles now there was a prospect of being photographed in sparkly shorts...), the ideas began to flow and a concept was born! Cue the frantic outfit search, prop hunt and multiple plays of America's Next Top Model for tips on how to 'booty tooch'...</div><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Think Jekyll and Hyde. Think work and play. The concept for the shoot was an exaggeration of two sides of two very different characters and work styles.<br />

<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs6lhGmB5l_29FJqvo_HIwXZnDGvf5NUATcjDnhHrzX9VINthakVDw-LsaVvLyFYsiFQTFCbZ0CVJjICDz-SrKzbUfqPB0l4BYRSjLu0gvyu4OWEeEYFUq6_6R6x4UcnZ20KJ4Efa0YNY9/s1600/Richmond+Tea+Rooms+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs6lhGmB5l_29FJqvo_HIwXZnDGvf5NUATcjDnhHrzX9VINthakVDw-LsaVvLyFYsiFQTFCbZ0CVJjICDz-SrKzbUfqPB0l4BYRSjLu0gvyu4OWEeEYFUq6_6R6x4UcnZ20KJ4Efa0YNY9/s1600/Richmond+Tea+Rooms+2.JPG" /></a>Born out of a creative desire that had been bubbling up for years, Joanne braved the cold, harsh world of business and set about injecting lace, pearls and a spot of tea in to every event she could. It's not easy to start a business in this difficult climate, in fact most "experts" would strongly recommend against it. But as with every growing day, the Vintage Twee brand becomes stronger and stronger with requests coming in from all over the world, it just shows just how a cup of patience, a splash of determination and a big lump of hard work can make a small business leap from a pipe dream in to an emporium of loveliness.<br />
<br />

Joanne and Yvonne got the party started with a visit to the Richmond Tea Rooms in Manchester where they enjoyed the signature "Mad Hatters Afternoon Tea". A quirky tea room with a definite theme, it was truly as delicious as it sounds. Presented with slabs of cherry pie and lashings of Earl Grey Tea atop a tipsy table, Ms Alice of Wonderland would have certainly thought it curiouser and curiouser!<br />

Of course a celebration wouldn't be complete without a fancy 'do and fluttery lashes, so Joanne popped in to see <a href="http://bethanyjanedavies.com/index.html">Bethany Jane Davies</a> at the Vintage Beauty Parlour. A favourite supplier of Vintage Twee, the girls often create stunning vintage looks for lots of women. But poor Bethany was unfortunately ill and rather than send Joanne away with untamed tresses, Bethany's colleague Anna stepped in, heated up the rollers and produced some fabulous auburn victory rolls!<br />
<br />
Aiming to give her new look a well deserved parade about town, Joanne was joined by the Twee family, who still love to lend a helping hand in the development of the business, and Nia Fiori, where they all tucked in to delicious food at La Belle Epoque in Knutsford. For anyone who hasn't been there, it's an eclectic mix of old world decor and atmospheric French brasserie style- with the most addictive Baked Alaska in history! Plenty of thirst quenching rum and cokes were to follow as Twee and Fiori continued the night long after the elders had retired!<br />

Attended by Claire, of <a href="http://english-wedding.com/">English Wedding Blog</a>, Katie from <a href="http://www.perfectdaysvintage.co.uk/">Perfect Days Vintage</a>, Nia, of <a href="http://www.niafiori.com/nf/Home.html">Nia Fiori Design</a>s, Vintage Twee helper Yvonne and the latest recruit on the VT train, Yvonne's little son Joe, there were fluffy cakes, cool lemonade, piping hot tea and lots and lots of conversation. The day was made all the more special with a lovely gift from Claire, who, in her stunning calligraphy art, had made a special plaque to commemorate the occasion. A totally Twee afternoon made perfect by being able to share it with like-minded gals (and Joe!), thanks to everyone who came and celebrated the beginning of Year 3.<br />
<br />
So, now in to the third year of trading Vintage Twee is evolving and growing- world domination is close! A heartfelt thank you to all customers, suppliers, friends and family for their continued support, here's to many more celebrations!<br />

</tbody></table>Despite the flurry of snowfall last weekend, the aptly named "White Memoirs Vintage Wedding Fair" went ahead at Stockport Town Hall on Sunday, proving that not even forces of nature can stop browsing brides and their love of all things vintage!<br />

Organised by Rachael from The Social Butterfly Events, the fair was the first of its kind to be held at the historic town hall. Joanne and the Vintage Twee stall managed to make it to this local affair in spite of the mountain of snow on her doorstep- and didn't have to resort to tobaganning down the hill she lives on either! <br />

</tbody></table> It was great to see and chat to so many individual brides all with some fantastic ideas for their upcoming summer weddings. And Joanne got lots of positive feedback on the new Vintage Garden Range which had it's first public outing at the fair. Comprising of a new display and the recent additions to the Vintage Twee collection, you'd be forgiven for thinking you'd just stumbled upon a welcoming afternoon tea party. And with Joanne dressed in a stunning (but hardly thermal) 1950's style dress from Vivien of Holloway and beautiful red peep toe shoes, the Vintage Twee stand really stood out. Also with its debut appearance on the stall was the hand crafted Vintage Twee bunting, cleverly made by the newest member of the team, Yvonne. Assisting Joanne, Yvonne looked beautiful in a floral print dress and cute red cardigan, making sure the Vintage Twee brand resonated throughout the day.<br />

There were some fabulous stall holders there, all delivering high quality products and services. Favourites of Vintage Twee included <a href="http://www.perfectdaysvintage.co.uk/">Perfect Days Vintage</a> who offer a fantastic range of vintage china and prop hire, <a href="http://www.silver-sixpence-in-her-shoe.co.uk/">Silver Sixpence in Her Shoe</a>, specialists in bespoke bridal accessories and <a href="http://www.bethanyjanedavies.com/">The Vintage Beauty Parlour</a> where glamorous owner Bethany Jane Davis was kept busy doing demonstrations of her perfectly styled vintage hair do's and classy make up.<br />
<br />
Trying not to eat any of the scrumptious array of cakes and scones on their display, Joanne and Yvonne concentrated on showcasing the new bridal rosettes, delicately made from vintage music sheets and perfect for special members of the bridal party as well as talking to brides about how Vintage Twee can custom make items to co-ordinate with colour schemes and themes.<br />

</tbody></table>It was a busy day had by all and by the time the last bride-to-be shuffled out in the cold early evening air, all the stall holders agreed it had been a great day and for Joanne, it was lovely to be part of a fair local to where she grew up. Special thanks go to Amedea and Scott from <a href="http://foleyphotography.co.uk/">Foley Photography</a> who were exhibiting too and were kind enough to take the photos of the Vintage Twee stall and items that you see on the blog.<br />
<br />
Time to stock up on hot chocolate and homemade cakes ready to do it all again on Sunday 19th Feb at the the St Georges Hotel in Harrogate for the Vintage Wedding Fair - see you there!<br />

Here at Vintage Twee, the one thing owner Joanne and I both remember as clear as day are the trips we used to make to our Great Aunt Ediths house in Yorkshire every month. The inspiration behind the creation of Vintage Twee which is now a firm favourite on the bridal circuit, our wonderful Great Aunt was born on this very day in 1919, making her an amazing 93 years old today. We used to be fascinated by her antique tea trolley, two little girls daintily arranging the vintage china cups and plates, sneakily stealing some of the delicious buttercream from her homemade butterfly cakes, getting ready to serve to anyone who'd let us! Those magical Sundays went by in a blur of good old fashioned hostessing and weren't complete without the delicate sugar bowl, quaint milk jug and lots and lots of floral patterns!</span><br />
<span color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">We're lucky to have some inspirational women in our family and Great Aunt Edith is definitely one of them. Persuing her passion to be a nurse, she sacrificed her maternal instincts and focused on helping those who needed it. In the 1940's she'd progressed to becoming a matron and successfully ran wards for 40 fantastic years. She was strict mind you and took no nonense off wayward young nurses hoping for an easy life! In fact, one of her favourite stories to tell is how when she was in charge of the Burns Unit, a little 5 year old boy told her in secret that whenever she was away from the ward, the nurses would help themselves to her best rose design teacups and enjoy lengthy tea breaks! Sure she didn't let them get away with that too lightly... </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRnZgFhH-o2b8KvtmUR59QhNSnJzG0_NI7f6fE1pHK32odlNI7diu0oRSkUEOtbXp4B_jgOzS-8T37OzpLCEft3o3x4j94xV-ce9XsVxiOMseLp1h35O3hC7BTfnEIAfKPN-cx9aLxkl7G/s320/Auntie+Edith+001.jpg" /></a></div><br />

</tbody></table><span color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">In between being an inspiring matron, the eldest girl of 4 sisters AND a wonderful tea party host, she loved to bake, garden and spend time with her family. Today, she still lives in Yorkshire but unfortunately suffers from dementia and her previously accurate memory now is somewhat jaded. Randomly she recalls things from 50 years ago as clear as day, living in her own world and believing that all her deceased sisters are still alive. It will be a sad day when we lose this family treasure but until then, we wish her a very happy birthday and a huge thank you for some wonderful childhood memories that led to one little girl finding a passion and turning it in to a successful and enjoyable busines . </span><br />

<span white; color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">A final note in honour of another charismatic and driven woman in our family, our dearly loved and much missed Grandma, Phyllis. Friday 3rd Feb would have been her 78th birthday and knowing her she wouldn't have stopped for a minute to sit down and rest! She sadly passed away 3 years ago but will always be remembered as a woman who showed us what you can acheive with a lot of hard work, a desire to succeed and a cheeky smile. A business owner until she was too ill to do so, she was a trooper who did what she loved and loved what she did. Rest in Peace, Grandma and happy birthday xxxx</span><br />

AND doesn't mean you have to scrimp on your dress budget to pay for it?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCGzKE7XuT_RY_-MGMqCHpX6bRYYzTxNxd3nogWsuEt5R2Q3b_H6BRiTLhK5nOiE9aUP7bY2ge-fwmJWZf0pfTiDoU1qWdCN5wSCh5enGJS1NsZ38C4_dPT8FA_7FmD51Bv6IalBA2x2Fx/s1600/Vintage+Garden+Favour+Bag+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCGzKE7XuT_RY_-MGMqCHpX6bRYYzTxNxd3nogWsuEt5R2Q3b_H6BRiTLhK5nOiE9aUP7bY2ge-fwmJWZf0pfTiDoU1qWdCN5wSCh5enGJS1NsZ38C4_dPT8FA_7FmD51Bv6IalBA2x2Fx/s320/Vintage+Garden+Favour+Bag+2.JPG" width="217" /></a></div>Well, the answer may in fact just lie in the earth in question. How about delivering something that symbolises new beginnings, is eternally beautiful with timeless elegance, and will ensure a yearly reminder of your big day for years to come? Sounds virtually impossible and expensive you might be thinking... but have you thought of the concept of giving seeds<i>.... of course! </i><br />
<br />
Vintage Twee has designed the wonderful new range, "Seeds of Love". Stunning neutral coloured favour bags made from environmentally friendly recycled cardstock with a handful of your favourite flower or herb seeds nestled inside are the ideal gift for wedding guests. Eco-friendly and supporting the growth of natures finest, the idea of giving seeds stems from era's gone by when in fact the guests would give the happy couple seeds from their very own crops. Now we're not suggesting you present your nearest and dearest with a fist full of sprout seeds but something maybe more... how can we say it, <i>wedding appropriate</i> like roses, lavender or even sunflowers. Meaning they can go away and take a little piece of your day that they can grow as a permanent reminder is both romantic and unique. With their twine and sage green detailing they look earthy and homely, like something you'd find on a vintage kitchen windowsill!<br />
<br />

The brilliant double tag allows the guests name to be written on one, with a beautiful quote on love and marriage on the second. Embellished with an vintage ink print of a little bird, these tags can be tied on to your table cutlery or glasses and will be guaranteed to be an instant talking point. For those money-savvy brides amongst you, you'll spot that the second tag could also be used for printing the menu choices, thus saving you the cost (and space!) of menu's on the table! Meaning more room for lots of lovely vintage decor, of course.. <br />

Many brides choose a family heirloom to represent this age old tradition, such as a veil or accessory that once belonged to their great grandmother, or special piece of jewellery to tuck away in their purse. The 'something old' tradition is one that continues to be the most thought out of the 'somethings' as it represents the sentimental connection the bride has, and will continue to maintain, to her family.<br />
<br />

However, when asked to make a bridal bouquet, consisting entirely of the infamous vintage music sheet paper roses, the challenge was embraced with open arms and I set to work!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZnHk7O5MeO5I19EHUELqy6m05U8zklmst2tchcvJ-Xj4Cu6m-hvuc1Ju-5xJafbno64MzxDfEPmjd6wEi7AVoOh0OHeLAL7W3yWf8MKkSZA9McPDemr00NDdCVu7t_YuY9cT5152pC6MP/s1600/Vintage+Music+Sheet+Bouquet++4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212px" rda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZnHk7O5MeO5I19EHUELqy6m05U8zklmst2tchcvJ-Xj4Cu6m-hvuc1Ju-5xJafbno64MzxDfEPmjd6wEi7AVoOh0OHeLAL7W3yWf8MKkSZA9McPDemr00NDdCVu7t_YuY9cT5152pC6MP/s320/Vintage+Music+Sheet+Bouquet++4.JPG" width="320px" /></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">The bouquet contains over 30 vintage roses, a selection of which have been adorned with pearl centres and draped with a string of ivory pearls, which have been carefully intertwined between the delicate leaves. The stem of the bouquet is covered with a champagne coloured satin ribbon and has been adorned with a hand tied ribbon and lace bow which is embellished with a vintage jewel.</div><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">So a bride's 'something old' was actually 'something new' for Vintage Twee and will be available to purchase in the Boutique very soon! It is a perfect alternative to traditional flowers for those brides having a vintage or music themed wedding and, unlike real flowers, it wont perish and can be kept for many years to come as a momentous keepsake of your wedding day.</div><br />

And, true to form as most of my brides can vouch for, I rise to any challenge set me and embrace it with open arms! And in the absence of my Chief Blogger Emma who is currently sunning herself in Rome, I am alone in this task at hand...</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Read on and I shall reveal all...</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I wanted to write a post dedicated to Mr Swayze, who has and always will be, my hero. I was mortified the day I woke up and found out he had gone, it was like a flashbulb memory moment when you know exactly when and where you were when you hear about something significant that happens in the world. Ok, so people die all the time – it's a fact of life and I didnt even know the man - but for some reason he remains in my heart, connected to happy memories of the first time I watched Dirty Dancing at the age of 9 years old (I know, bad parents!) as a pneumonic child who was missing the annual family Boxing Day party. I got a new desk for 'making things on' at Christmas that year (Vintage Twee Reference Number 1) and I specifically remember watching the infamous 'lift' scene at the end through the gaps in the shelving that my dad had only half assembled. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

And admittedly, it wasn't that long ago I dreamt of the same dance at the age of 27, wearing that gorgeous pink dress and silver heels, kicking gold fairy dust into the air as he spinned me around...</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div><br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">To be fair, I've only really ever seen two of his films, and the second is of course Ghost. Cue the tears from 20 minutes in and the weird recollection and recital of Sam Wheat's account number by heart. I even took my sister to see Ghost the Musical in the West End last month to celebrate her forthcoming 30<sup>th</sup> birthday (again, sorry Em). </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

Of course tears were flowing from the first line of Unchained Melody and I awoke the next day full of new romantic ideas for my range! (Vintage Twee Reference Number 2).</div><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Patrick seemed like a loyal, honourable and loving husband who I think would be a role model to any modern man today. If I was asked the ultimate ideal dinner date question then he would, without doubt, be in the top three. I am lucky enough to have a signed print of him which is going to be framed and put up very soon on the walls of my new studio (Vintage Twee Reference Number 3) to remind me of the smiles he brought to me that Christmas I cried because I had to stay home and miss the family party and the chance to gorge myself on seconds of chocolate gateux and trifle.</div><br />

Kind of. :)<br />

And sometimes the simplest of words are the most effective - the ones that make us think, make us smile and most importantly, give us food for thought. Each night at my local tube station a member of staff posts a “quote of the day” at the entrance to the escalator and as I’m on my way home after a stressful, busy day at work, reading one line of inspiration will, without fail, make me laugh, muse or at the very least wonder where on earth they got that one from!<br />

It only seemed right that such an evening demanded the highest level of preening so Joanne and Nia, from <a href="http://www.niafiori.com/niafiori_new_website/_niafiori.html">Nia Fiori Designs</a> booked themselves in for a morning of pampering by the extremely talented vintage hair and make up artist, <a href="http://www.bethanyjanedavies.com/">Bethany Jane Davis</a>.

Joining Joanne and Nia was Katie from <a href="http://www.perfectdaysvintage.co.uk/">Perfect Days Vintage</a> who rocked a 70’s inspired red dress, gold heels and a statement leopard print hat, all three of them posing in the retro digital photo booth for some memorable snaps and a reminder of how fabulous they looked!! <a href="http://www.snaparazziphotobooths.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.snaparazziphotobooths.co.uk/</a><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" color: black; line-height: 14.4pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

It really was an evening to remember and showcased the best the wedding industry has to offer in a wide range of themes. According to the girls it was hard to snap out of the bubble they were in when the night drew to an end… so they “forced” themselves to go for a pizza on the way home just to bring them back down to earth!! I can only imagine the faces in the pizza parlour when their late night customers appeared to have just stepped off the set of Breakfast at Tiffanys!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" color: black; line-height: 14.4pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />

Each image has been aged, embellished with vintage lace and mounted on to gift tag style cards and is completed with natural coloured twine to allow them to be tied to wine glasses, napkin rings, cutlery or tea cup handles. Unique and interesting, they're sure to get everyone wanting to collect the whole set!<br />

In contrast to the Victorian Style, the Vintage Rose collection show 4 different designs taken from vintage postcards and greetings cards. Using pastel coloured satin ribbons for the ties and delicate sparkling accents of gold glitter to highlight the images. Additions of the ivory pearls finish off the look whilst the font used for the name of each guest will be that of a typically authentic vintage typewriter.<br />

Last week, Joanne met the very creative and stylish Katie Mitchell from Perfect Days Vintage for a glass of wine and a chat about how together, they can offer any bride or event organiser the ultimate vintage service.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKAQLHNwjG4QSqJA5Nscy-3dQOA8dVOHSS9_9K6wYPDdVWaDUXDgVYitHq3o0QYlKek8v4ueozqyowDGKLmnM-ugdAEqo6czirRNt_2tmFEcQrq26-TxBC9hP57XT6vm0LKvVEauMf2KMj/s1600/gramaphonecomposition.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKAQLHNwjG4QSqJA5Nscy-3dQOA8dVOHSS9_9K6wYPDdVWaDUXDgVYitHq3o0QYlKek8v4ueozqyowDGKLmnM-ugdAEqo6czirRNt_2tmFEcQrq26-TxBC9hP57XT6vm0LKvVEauMf2KMj/s320/gramaphonecomposition.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.4pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Perfect Days Vintage is the brainchild of Katie who has followed her passion for all things vintage and beautiful and turned it in to a successful business hiring out a range of props dating as far back as you want them to! As a young girl her fascination with antique fairs, eclectic and unusual items led Katie to invest in real treasures which today include a classic1960’s record player, a fantastic 18<sup>th</sup> century walnut dining table, original china tea sets and an incredible vintage typewriter. Perfect Days Vintage now has the props to be able to transform any event with authentic vintage themed style… and if you need further proof, ask Katie to tell you about her own wedding of which you can easily say the theme was decided quite early on! They cater for weddings, christenings, corporate events, photo shoots and much more, clearly showing the quality and validity of their items. Of course, if your longed for item isn’t currently in the Perfect Days Vintage collection, they will do all they can to source your heart’s desire for you, making them not only style guru’s but complete and utter time savers too! And just in case you thought their services ended there, think again. Perfect Days Vintage can also help organise elements or the whole of your event for you, taking complete control of the reins from start to vintage finish, a skill Katie found she had whilst organise her own wedding.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioX9XqZ37kYbgfEdBBK19G78PAkC1FA6n2ZSFeTTUl_adTBzgiibIrPi-yD4ZehKTCGUqRnZH4mlGuDJprAEQiWTU6BImwZiCqTE4ECBv6MaWjQdwI1qJGLmyyi2Pa4FCAN1-wtyZ9Hbvl/s1600/suitcasecloseup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="176" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioX9XqZ37kYbgfEdBBK19G78PAkC1FA6n2ZSFeTTUl_adTBzgiibIrPi-yD4ZehKTCGUqRnZH4mlGuDJprAEQiWTU6BImwZiCqTE4ECBv6MaWjQdwI1qJGLmyyi2Pa4FCAN1-wtyZ9Hbvl/s320/suitcasecloseup.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.4pt;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFelEALbmvgKjye9LqmtVrQS-1S_l43rfN4xIv5EGDYYETacC4GImfPVZ_b3cljrKUm8eAJiagqxjLNATwgRNjt42JKHWM2n7X6hrou0UScb277Ab28KjJIy8WH2J1Fcah-gZepkhSgfzv/s1600/Teacupandmusicsheets.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFelEALbmvgKjye9LqmtVrQS-1S_l43rfN4xIv5EGDYYETacC4GImfPVZ_b3cljrKUm8eAJiagqxjLNATwgRNjt42JKHWM2n7X6hrou0UScb277Ab28KjJIy8WH2J1Fcah-gZepkhSgfzv/s320/Teacupandmusicsheets.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcaf6WeZMo5cTdi4tJ661vrie_2P60U_7_1uTssQLXPP_yteU2OAXt6LL5qD4paH6C7t39d7uSb2BNbOq_6c_dcjuwe9iLxwdlaOoDLVw5cuTLoooY9mkf1GZrMjQsFm3v7r7mGSm-1rRg/s1600/teapotandpurfum+bottle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcaf6WeZMo5cTdi4tJ661vrie_2P60U_7_1uTssQLXPP_yteU2OAXt6LL5qD4paH6C7t39d7uSb2BNbOq_6c_dcjuwe9iLxwdlaOoDLVw5cuTLoooY9mkf1GZrMjQsFm3v7r7mGSm-1rRg/s320/teapotandpurfum+bottle.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> So, you take a company that organises events and rents out vintage props, mix it with a company that recreates vintage table décor and a foolproof formula is born! Hoping to be able to work together in the future, Joanne and Katie have been taking the time to show how the items can work seamlessly together, giving the look, feel and individuality of a really customized event. For example, the pictures here show Vintage Twee’s ever popular Eat Me Party Picks being used alongside Perfect Days Vintage fabulous decorative cake stands. Music lovers will grab the opportunity to showcase a vintage gramophone and can be seen here teamed with Vintage Twee’s music sheet favours. Or, the favourite idea the girls have come up with so far see’s the magnificent vintage typewriter placed conveniently next to the beautiful <a href="http://www.vintagetwee.com/shop-stationary-weddingguestbook.html">Vintage Twee guestbook</a>. With paper at the side, all the guests have to do is write their message and pop it in the book, their words becoming the beginning of a story. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">For a truly professional and memorable service, Vintage Twee cannot recommend Katie and the impressive Perfect Days Vintage highly enough.
