The seed was sown for this little collection one day whilst sorting through my secret hoarding of vintage linens.  On one shelf, in a forgotten box, was my little sewing case that I made when I was only 7.  I spent hours, when I was younger, collecting and making things, some useful, some not so useful!!

I was excited about creating a new range of stationery that was so very different to my printed collections but still holding on to my passion for all that is vintage.  The style and trends of the vintage tea party, the home spun and the make do and mend ethos and the pretty florals of english country gardens has brought a wonderful eclectic mix over the last couple of years. I wanted to introduce a new twist for those in love with vintage as a source of inspiration for their day.  That day may be a wedding, a birthday, a tea party, you may wish to send one of my products as a gift or a little treat for yourself such as a brooch, lavender pillow, a hair clip, a sewing case or a 'boudoir' sign to pin to your pretty armoire!!! 

Each product is made from vintage and retro haberdashery and linens therefore items will differ in detailing and colour.   The more personalised side to this collection, such as invitations, menus, place names, will be made to order but we do have lots of products that are already made and ready to go to new homes such as the reception signs, door signs, lavender pillows, sewing cases, buttonholes and table numbers.  All you have to do is simply email info@vickytrainor.co.uk to request a particular product's catalogue (if available) and I will email the images through to you.  Alternatively alot of these products are available to purchase today over at my Etsy shop. The linens that I have used were a little unloved and unwanted due to their slight imperfections so I  have recycled, re-loved, re-stitched and cared for each individual piece to bring a new precious creation that you will want to keep forever or pass down through time.  I hope you fall in love with this little collection...
