Sneak peek in store

Posted in Browse, New Stock | 2 Comments »

Lots of new stock in store at Newspaper Taxi, I have been busy painting, shuffling and re-styling the store. Trying to fit all the new stock in! Lots of pretty bright colours to spruce up the house after a good spring clean.

I’m in LOVE with the Lace curtains, silk pillow shams and piano shawl on the back wall. My friend Harriet just came in and exclaimed how pretty it looks. We want girly whirly vintage style bedrooms just like this. 

Pretty as a picture

I have been painting in my (very small amount of) spare time. Lots of fun to set up a kitchen table top studio and make a big mess for a few days. The end result is a few pretty little pictures. I have sold two already! It’s very relaxing and I enjoy painting and incorporating all of my treasured paper bits. Antique wedding invitations, prayer books, postcards, receipts, ration booklets, paper doilies. I have boxes and boxes of vintage paper and it is really lovely creating works that are based on these tattered memories. I even have an old handwritten love letter that’s from the late 1800’s. SO romantic ♥
