Victorian birdcages are a shabby-chic staple for interior schemes, but why stop there? I love this 'Freedom' necklace by SilverLining and its whimsical charm.
SilverLining combines vintage pieces with new finds, using quirky items like tiny ceramic tea cups and saucers to great effect.
Better yet, SilverLining is currently offering free shipping on all her jewellery. Check out the shop here.
Do you wander around your local charity stores picking up the odd pretty, but mismatched, china plate? Beautiful ceramics and bone china are so enticing, but what do you do with them? It’s not sense to keep them stashed away in a cupboard, and an entire un-matching dinner service takes some chutzpah to carry off, but what about a pretty cake-stand?
It is, just as it seems, a pile of three plates of decreasing size and two sherry or liqueur glasses, preferably one of each so they are of decreasing size also.
The other thing you need is Araldite – that’s the glue that comes in two tubes, an adhesive and a hardener. Trust me – no other glue will do.
The very lovely Eat Drink Chic has free downloadable labels for oil, vinegar and bit-and-bobs-boxes. They are stylish, have muted, vintage-look colours, and would add the perfect finishing touch to a home-made gift or shabby chic larder.
