Made For Each Other..because some people simply just are.

2014 has been a busy one for us here at Vintage Twee however we never let a year go by without a new addition to our range! Our brand new 'Made For Each Other' collection is full of vintage handmade charm and is perfect for those couples who, well, simply just are.

The complete Made For Each Other range

Inspired by our love for that 'just crafted' feel, the range contains unique Save the Date cards, invitations, place settings, table names and menus which have been designed to create a feeling of vintage romance and affection through the use of a dusty pink, ivory and cream colour scheme.

The items feature a selection of handmade style embellishments such as crochet lace, unique tape measure ribbon, silken thread and cute buttons for a traditional and nostalgic feel.

Save The Date Postcards
The Save the Date postcards feature a vintage image of a cotton bobbin reel to illustrate the hand crafted theme. They are also printed with a 'made for each other' stamp, as are the invitations which feature these words on an adorable card bobbin tag wrapped in lace and attached to the bundle.

Card bobbin place setting tags
Wooden bobbin place settings



















There two different types of place settings to choose from so you are spoilt for choice! Choose between the beautiful card bobbin tags printed with your guests name or opt for the wooden bobbins which also make ideal favours as your guests can take these away as a keepsake from your special occasion. These are also a cute addition for place settings at baby or bridal showers!

The table names have been created in the shape of a card bobbin and have a length of silken thread for you to attach to your table centrepiece. Why not recycle some vintage sewing machines to really enhance the 'made for each other' theme! The menus have been created from a dusty rose and ivory cardstock with crochet lace, button and tape measure ribbon embellishment. They are free standing so you can place these around the table for your guests to read!

Lillian and Fredrick, 06 August 1933
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!

Feast your eyes on these festive baubles….

You may think that Santa’s still a long way off delivering his pressies, but at Vintage Twee it’s been at the forefront of Joanne’s mind for the last few weeks! It’s most definitely time to cast aside those half broken supermarket baubles and treat yourself, your wedding or your Christmas party to an array of Vintage Twee’s festive creations.


The first Christmas range from Vintage Twee offers the most beautiful and delicate baubles, absolutely perfect for a Christmas wedding or event. They enable you to envelope all the things we love about this magical time of year… the romance, the colours and the festivity. Made from pieces of vintage patterned paper which is cleverly decoupaged on to each bauble and sealed with an antiquing medium, they really will complete your party look in style. Different styles include the Vintage Pearl and Satin Ornament, and the lovely Vintage Music Sheet Christmas Ornament. As always, Vintage Twee uses real vintage materials where possible and this is no exception! The music sheets used to creative these unique ornaments were rescued from a charity shop where the only place they were heading was the bin! Taken from a 1940’s music book, it became all the more special when Joanne found the pictured note written inside the front cover. What more romance could a girl ask for at Christmas?!



Available from the Vintage Twee Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/vintagetwee and priced at an extremely reasonable £4.50 per bauble, they go on sale this week!! Be the envy of your friends and guests and hang up a little bit of vintage history year after year…
