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!

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!

Catch up... Over Coffee
Just a quick catch up of some of the things i have been up to since my last post! To be honest university has occupied most of my time, working hard day in, day out...I guess this is training me up for real work in the future right?! haha. Hard work still deserves some time to relax right? I can't imagine anything better than a nice cup of coffee and some comfort food to fill me up and get my engines going!
Coffee outside V&A museum
One of my favourite exhibitions in London! Steampunk, gothic and eerie romance...that is me summed up!
Barista art... this is on my 'to learn' list...any offers to teach me?
Enjoying a rose lemonade
Delicious Lebanese food!
1920s slip dress showcased at the V&A
Since my last blog, there have been many celebrations... birthdays,engagements, anniversaries... I've been able to share some special moments with the people i love!
Coffee, tea and memories with old friends...
Waiting for my nice cup of English brew...
A few cups of coffee is definitely needed to get me through these books!
Starbucks, Prêt a Manger, Costa... I really am a coffee addict! Although I would much rather support local cafes...
Silly times with coffee...ahhhhhhh....
