For those that dream of slow living, those that love the perfectly imperfect, those that love a piece with a story to tell, the quirky one off finds that offer a glimpse into the past. I love the timeworn pieces, the patina on furniture and handstitched repairs in textiles. If you love a rummage, finding beautiful interior pieces, the unusual and the gloriously weathered then you will love our Autumn Collection which really will be a cracker of a gathering.
A fabulous line up of experienced antiques foragers are getting ready to deliver English & French finds for you to browse this Autumn. More introductions coming soon.
Details pinned at the top of my page.

We are counting down to a very special Autumn Collection so keep tuned to see who is joining us. I am over the moon that beautiful Jo from Lola Pearl Vintage is back with us. Those that are familiar with Jo will know that she adores French & Italian interiors. From exquisite textiles that she loving repurposes, to candlesticks, mirrors, lighting and so much more. Jo has the eye for interiors and loves to source irresistible timeworn furniture, decorative antiques and those one off stylist pieces. She also offers a number of beautiful French & Danish magazines and interior books for those looking for inspiration. We can't wait to welcome Jo and her gorgeous trove.

Sorry for the lack of posts, I've been busy with dried flower wedding orders and generally distracted with flowers but I don't think I will ever tire of them. Thank you to the lovely people that have chosen me with the most important day of their lives. It is really appreciated and I love every minute of the process. In other news I will be putting my mind to our gathering this autumn and we have a lovely full house of your favourite exhibitors and I can't wait to introduce them shortly. I would also love to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone that has purchased from my happy Place. Yesterday felt as though Christmas had arrived early. One of our posh Botanical candles is heading to Utah and I can't remember what is heading to Australia and Africa, it all seems a blur now, but what a day. Every penny helps to pay my bills and support my daughter through Uni. Thank you so much xx
Wishing you a peaceful evening and hoping to open more days in the run up to the festive season.

A lovely surprise snippet of Howden. My daughter sent me this little video of the town otherwise I would be still oblivious to this lovely mention. Thank you so much

We have just received a delivery of another batch of what has become your favourite tealight collection. These plant-based beauties smell lovely as well as being packaged beautifully. The perfect gift. I've always loved nature, especially hares and birds so these absolutely fit with the ethos of my happy place. I've become a little too obsessed with tealights but thankfully all in a good way. We are trialling some other brands very soon so you will be spoilt for choice and I will find peace at last with tealights.
I've just poured myself a big cup of ambition, my go to song when times feel tough (the world is definitely duller without Dolly) and I'm feeling unstoppable and hopefully this will help me get through the busiest season ahead.
I hope the power is back on in Howden today. Thank you to everyone that shopped in the dark yesterday and kept me company after much of the town shut down. Power or no power, you will see me later today in my happy place with Happy Dolly vibes, probably with a big jumper and a flask of hot tea as it is a little nippy.

Summer is moving on and we are turning our attention to preparing for our Autumn Collection. The weathered horse, which lives on my landing, came from Worcester-based Emily Grace Vintage and the beautiful antique mannequin from Norfolk-based Wayward Rose is put to work in my Happy Place, often wearing a wreath. Two beautiful businesses offering exquisite original French & English decorative antiques that travel especially to be with us in Yorkshire. This is what makes our gatherings so special, bringing lovely folk from all corners of the UK to be with us. Stock is always fresh to the market and always irresistible. My pennies are being saved.

A little bit nippy in my happy place yesterday. Luckily I had a big jumper in the back.
I'm so thankful for the rain and the foliage is getting a little more lush everywhere and I have enjoyed a little break from my watering can duties. We have introduced some lovely thoughtful books, with lots of gorgeous images. A perfect little gift for those that love simple pleasures and slow living.

Our special little candles are in another league, making the most beautiful and thoughtful gift for those you love and adore and especially for those that already have everything, you know the ones that are so difficult to buy for. The little Georgian sauce boat is a recent find, along with the shabby Edwardian wooden glove box, bought from one of our exhibitors, Su who will be joining us this October. The oil painting, which really made my heart skip a beat at our Spring gathering. It was sourced by Jodie, who also has the eye for beautiful old interior pieces. I can't wait to see what both have in store for us this Autumn. It will be the one not to miss as we are all working our little socks off to source irresistible pieces..... and then somehow manage to let them find new homes.

Details for the last two gatherings of the year. Booking for our little festive number will open late September as the festive season is the busiest and I'm sure there will be lots of events on the same date so early confirmation will be required.
