A Beginner's Guide to Antique Majolica
|
Happy Wednesday Reader, The more time I spend in England, the more I appreciate antique majolica. It's just so . . . extra. ☺️ Colorful, ornate, and sometimes totally strange. It's the perfect Victorian era decor, with all it's quirks and over-the-top-ness. I'm sharing my burgeoning love of majolica with you all today over on the blog, and offering a quick intro into the history of this kind of pottery. If you're curious what makes these pieces so unique, you can click below to head over and read more.
Your Continuing Fascination with Bread BoardsOn Monday, I released Collection Four of the First Arrivals, which was a restock of English bread boards and rolling pins. Six of the seven bread boards I listed sold within the first 3 minutes of being live in the shop, and the 7th was gone by the 20 minute mark. This was by far our fastest collection sell out, and I continue to be so grateful for everyone who chooses to shop with me. This one though honestly kind of blew my mind! There is still one board in stock from Collection One, it's a very old and primitive board with a unique character. And I have 3-4 more I will make available in coming weeks. But after that I am out, until we make it back to the UK in 2027. That's it for today, short and sweet. I'll see you all back next week, and if you have any majolica pieces to share with me, just hit reply and send me a photo! I would love to see them ☺️ |

Happy Wednesday Reader, Word has gotten out about this England container shipping thing I'm doing, and so lots of people have started asking me about my business. I can understand their curiosity . . . it's not quite the normal business you encounter every day. But one thing I often hear during these chats is something like, "that sounds really interesting, but antiques don't fit into our home style." I get it 😉 You say antiques and people start to imagine a room that looks like it's stranded...
