With the party season warming up, here's something to keep things cool

Although it will keep things cool, this vintage Insulex ice bucket is just the right lovely warm colour for a Christmas party. Keep the drinks cool, but keep the atmos comforting and warm!

Mistress Kate Signed Artist's Proof Enid Elliott Linder

It is finding little goodies such as this which makes the hours trawling round car boots and charity shops worthwhile.

Vintage Kitsch print Dupont Paperboy

Typical of the images you would see on the walls of many British homes in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, along with others by JH Lynch, Tretchikoff, Dickens, Palmero etc.  This is a print by M. Dupont. I don't know anything of the artist, so any info would be welcome.

Knitting 20's and 30's originals by Nancy Vale

This is one we always look out for on our travels - when we find a copy it doesn't stay with us for very long - there is always someone who wants it. It is a 98 page book collection of original patterns, with other bits and pieces from the period peppered inbetween the patterns, such as period adverts etc.

Vintage Kenwood Mini A 361 food mixer

A must have in every kitchen of the latter part of the 'mid-century' period. These looked the part, did the job and were affordable. The same still applies, if you are wanting that themed look in your kitchen. This is a collectable that sells at a very affordable price.

Vintage Kay Football Bagatelle

Something for the boys. Would look smashing hanging up in a bar or a games room.
