Set the table in style....

As we all know, things move fast in the wedding industry and Vintage Twee will not be left behind! Introducing the latest range of vintage inspired table décor, the first of four new products are the beautiful Vintage Paper Rose Place Settings. Guaranteed to add a touch of timeless appeal to a vintage or music themed wedding or event, these place settings will certainly catch the eye of even the most difficult to please guest!

Each rose is hand crafted from layers of 1920’s vintage music sheets, sourced from antique shops or craft fairs. The delicate petals have been scalloped and accentuated with brown ink to really add an authentic feel- there’s nothing like music and rose’s to really make an event special!
You can see your guests name clearly displayed on the leaf shaped place setting card and you can choose one of two ways to attach the leaf. Why not nestle it amongst the petals, unobtrusive and space saving, it’s the perfect way to achieve maximum effect whilst allowing room on the table for other items. Alternatively, you could incorporate them fully in to your tables and use pretty vintage lace to tie the name card leaves to each individuals napkin.


Not just limited to name place settings, the roses also make stunning decorations without the leaves, or how about treating your guests to special corsages?

A lovely keepsake for your guests, each rose is most definitely unique… and remember, as they are made from genuine vintage music sheets they will definitely be limited edition! The lace used may also differ slightly due to only using vintage lace as supplies are limited! Rest assured though it will always compliment the rose and be just as beautiful!

They are priced at an extremely reasonable £1.50 per rose and as always, Vintage Twee will be happy to discuss any special requirements you may have. As per the well know quote, if you want to say anything, say it with flowers!

Remember the 1940's with Meltham..

If you love all things nostalgic and beautiful just like us Vintage Twee girls, then you can’t afford to miss the fantastic “Meltham Memories” 1940’s event this weekend, Sat 17th and Sun 18th July at Meltham, Huddersfield. Situated in the historical county of Yorkshire, this incredible event will have you blinking back 70 years in a heartbeat. Think vintage vehicles, parades, performers, dancing and a huge sense of community spirit. This year they also have a vintage fair in the Town Hall, selling all manner of hats, shoes, uniforms and jewellery. And guess what….? In the Vintage Tea Room you’ll find Joanne, displaying and selling the latest and greatest products from Vintage Twee! This includes our current top selling item, the cute and unique Party Picks! From 10am-4pm, come along and we’ll raise a mug to the live music from up and coming star Natasha Harper, daughter of the famous Paul Harper. If some reason none of the above convinced you to swing by, then how about getting your hair and make up done vintage style? Bethany Davies will be on hand to give you that 40’s starlet look and in case you want to remember it forever, there will be a professional photographer present so you can get your portrait done!

Vintage Music Sheet Rose Cones

Yesterday I went to replenish my dwindling stash of vintage music sheets from a local house clearance place I stumbled across by chance a couple of weeks ago. While I was there, one of the owners asked if I played the violin (hence the reason for buying the sheet). Unfortunately my talents dont stretch that far (!!!) so I told her what I use the sheets for. She asked me to bring some of my items down to her shop as the BBC are coming to film the place next week for a documentary on antiques and she would like them to adorn her front window with! So, I whipped up a few of my infamous cones and am going to drop them off there tomorrow to display in her shop window. Fingers crossed they make prime time tv in the near future!!! I made lots more for my craft fair while I was at it and photographed them this morning for all to see! They will be available to purchase from Friday 28th May from my website and my Etsy shop!
