We’ve been cutting and sewing galore over the last few weeks getting a few new festive bespoke props ready to add to our vintage catalogue.
The first one I’d like to welcome is our Vintage Christmas bunting! Wooooo! 
We’ve sewn three different flags to red (or green) tape – cream floral, red gingham and green polka dot. They’re all double sided, so ideal to hang across the room and can be admired from all directions!
Stay tuned for more ways to spruce up Christmas in your home 🙂
