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!
