Summer nights...

Long, hazy summer nights are with us again (or at least now and again). Following our previous blog, your garden/outside space should now be beautifully replenished with vintage plant pots. What about accessorizing with these great 1920s wirework lanterns?


Carefully place a tea light inside the faded canvas-lined, wire cages and bring a magical romantic glow to your evening...


We have a limited number available, so snap one (or many) up now before they disappear!

Quality time down at the potting shed...

With any luck the late Spring frosts are behind us, and so attention can now be directed to getting some quality gardening in preparation for those long summer evenings 'al fresco'.

To help you populate your patio, we have lots of vintage terracotta plant pots for sale, perfect 'starter homes' for your tender, young plants.

Most of the pots are 3 to 3-and-a-half inches in diameter, ideal for transferring seedlings, or for starting off your summer herb garden. They'd look great lined up on a window sill or window box.

There's a good mix of pots, all with a nice patina of age and past use - the older ones date from the 1920s and with their rimless tops are particularly chic. Some are impressed with the maker's name 'SANKEY'. We're selling the pots in bundles of 5 and 10 so get in touch if you want to spoil your seedlings with some serious style...

Also, on offer we have some gorgeous old galvanised buckets. Complete with dents and patches of rust, they make characterful planters.


Happy planting!
