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!

Welcome baby Alvin

Hello my precious Mr. Alvin Lau. We are all honoured to have you in our lives. I know this post is a little behind since you came into this world in December 2013, but you are fast becoming one of the most important things to me. From now on, I promise to be your Aunt, your friend and I will protect you, laugh with you and teach you to play piano...because it's a known fact that musicians attracts the girls haha. 



Hehe 20 something years ago i had the same pose
Your first pair of shoes...a promise to be with you every step of your life :)
                               

It's been too long, lets catch up over a nice cup of tea!

It's been too Long! Let's catch up on a nice cup of tea! Ever since moving from Yahoo, i have completely neglected my blog. Unfortunately I feel like many blog friends and vintage lovers have been lost.  From now, I promise to keep in contact with all of you again! 

Since my last post, semester two of university has taken up most of my time. Considering it's the last every year of my studies (unless in the distant future i want to continue my PHD...you can never stop learning),  I am trying my best to concentrate on my projects. However, unlike my undergrad studies, I am trying hard to balance my social life with work and this time round, I have made some lovely new friends from all around the world and all walks of life. 

Stay tuned for a quick summary of my past three months in the next couple of posts!


Anyway back to this post. Since i've been away, I have still magically managed to find time to treasure hunt for more vintage chinaware! Exploring markets and antique fairs gives me the chance to escape work... it's my guilty pleasure. Also since my entire family are also vintage lovers, we try to make it a family activity. I love sharing my passion with Mama and Papa and all we are waiting for is Rachel to come over from HK and we are ready for our road trip across the UK to continue our treasure hunt!



A dreamy afternoon nap with macarons and lots of TEA!!!

Royal Crown Derby trio

Adorable blue Shelly cup and saucer


I generally love blue and white designs, the gilding 
adds to the elegance of the long and lean shape .

Sometimes the most simple design can leave 
the biggest impression. 
This is understated elegance

Hand painted coffee and tea cups. 
Around 1910-1920, unmarked.


50's cake Doilies 

Rare Shelly pink tea set! So difficult to find
and the condition is excellent! This is going to 
be my wedding dowry haha!

Charlseton Brunch


As part of Glasgow does Vintage, the city hosted a 1920s brunch... where pancakes and waffles were served with Charleston dancing!!! What a fabulous idea right? Although we were amongst the youngest ones there that day, my cousin Craig and I still had a great time learning some new dance moves haha!

Summer Vintage Fair!


These photos were taken a few weeks ago at "Glasgow Does Vintage' festival. I have been excited for it all summer since it's the perfect place for vintage lovers to get together. The weather was perfect and the whole city was filled with vintage lovers of all ages who are ready to embrace the end of summer!
