Pre Vintage Fair Preparations!

Although it's a little late, here are some photos of the preparation work that took place weeks before the vintage fair... Hope our hard work was worth a simple smile from you :)

Vintage Case Up-cycling project!

With a little bit of manual labour, patience and creativity,

we can re-cycle unwanted objects and make them one of a kind 

treasures. I hate wasting things, yet I love DIY work! 

This is a win-win situation!

Bunting making! 

Shelley Tea Cups: Cleaning and packing.

Roll after roll of bubble wrap was used to carefully

pack our little gems into cartons, ready for shipping. 

We all had our fingers crossed and hoped for their

safe journey from the UK to HK!

Such a beautiful 3 tier stand

Classic Blue and White

Shining and cleaning our collection of cutlery

Poster Shooting and Visual Merchandising

Did the egg or chicken come first?

HK Does Vintage!!

After weeks of hard work, I am proud to present you with HK Does Vintage @ Rachel's Kitchen! After sleepless nights preparing the workshop to surprise HK with hundreds of vintage cups and cutlery... we hope you all enjoyed a little time travelling back to an era of fine english elegance! 

There was music, cakes, dancing, hot tea and even a vintage baby! The event was a success, much to the support and kind patience of our valued customers and helpers. Without you, the weekend would simply not be the same! Your interest and enthusiasm has inspired me to do this a million times better next time! 

A Million thank you's to all our supporters!

Thanks to my friend Lok for coming from China to help out!

Blue and White

I am currently a lover of Blue and White at the moment. I have an extensive collection of blue and white chinaware at home. Th simple colours make any design an instant classic. Fashion Spring/ Summer  2013 has taken an interest in this classic Wedgewood print. From Erdem, to Carven...designers and high street have reinvented such a traditional print. 

Candy Candy

Oh how much I wish I was Candice White Adley.. Miss 小甜甜. She has such a gentle and loving heart, strong personality that will preserver to any challenge in life and a wonderfully witty character. She is truly selfless, always putting others before her. And lets not forget the adorable freckles that make her so unique (I too have been 'blessed' with freckles by Mr. Sunshine hehe). After visiting Yumiko Igarashi's exhibition in Hang Hau... I indulged myself in a Candy Candy themed night where my sister in law and myself enjoyed our DVD  box set of Candy Candy til early morning!
