Shop Update: Black, White, Pink, Grey and Red


1930s French beaded silk purse

I hope you all enjoyed the holidays!! I'm very slowly coming out of Christmas hibernation mode to get some new listings up in the shop. I took out my needle and thread this afternoon to tackle Elly Maggy Vintage's ever-growing mending pile and prepared lots of fresh pieces to be photographed. I'm looking forward to sharing them very soon! 

In the meantime, I hope you like this latest update, featuring a collection of 30s, 40s and 70s gems. As usual, click on the links to shop the Etsy listings...

Winter inspiration

It's very nearly the shortest day of the year here in the U.K. and the early sunsets mean I'm just about ready to fall asleep at 4 o'clock! With the long nights, there's been less time for outdoors-walking and more time for armchair-festering... But I've been trying to put the long evenings to good use by researching the history behind forthcoming shop items and tweaking a new online Elly Maggy Vintage project... More news on that in the New Year!

I've also been spending more time over on Pinterest, browsing pretty pins and putting together this winter-themed ideas board. I hope these vintage images cheer up your December evening!
