My favourite Etsy seller Ninainvorm who decorates vintage tableware with pretty and cheerful designs has updated her shop! I just wanted to share some of her covetable new ‘Lots of Dots’ range and adorable apples ceramic storage pots!
I also wanted to share this wonderful story taken from Nina’s blog. Nina loves collecting vintage items and nick nacks for herself and for her work, soo f course makes regular trips to thrift shops. I loved this little entry from Nina about some of her finds during these trips. Simply charming…
I think it was about half a year ago that I spotted a really cute cup in one of my favorite thrift shops. It was just a little cup, and to say I didn’t need any more cups would be a bit of an understatement. But on the other hand: one small cup more or less wouldn’t make all the difference, and since it wasn’t too expensive, I quickly grabbed it and took it home.
About a month later I went to the same shop and saw a fun little plate, that seemed vaguely familiar. Hey, didn’t I already have something in that style? I wasn’t sure, but decided to take the plate with me, and at home I was happy to discover that the plate matched with the little cup that I had found weeks before. I didn’t look that carefully though, and so I saw that the cup and plate matched, but I didn’t really notice that they matched thàt good: it was only later that I learnt that the plate had little feet on it, that connected exactly with the polkadot dress on the cup…
Many months later. I’m in the same shop and see a cute bowl with a face on it. I remember I already once saw it there before, and then recognized it as one of those fun vintage bowls that were part of a breakfast set with a face on the bowl and a body on the matching cup. But since I didn’t see the rest of the set that time, and already had lots of stuff to take home, I decided not to buy it back then. This time I was in a good mood and thought: well, it’s such a sweet bowl, who cares I don’t have the rest of the set, let’s take it home…
And of course now you already have guessed what I honestly had no idea of: I already did have the rest of the set home! Only I hadn’t realized… So when I came home with the bowl I finally learned that 1 + 1 = 2, and though the collecting of the individual parts had taken months, now I finally had one of those cute vintage breakfast sets!
I love how at the end of the story, the set is sitting pretty and satisfied in amongst all of Nina’s other finds, as though it was always meant to be right there. : )
