Well what a week! We went off on our travels to the sunny (we were hoping!) Brighton and knowing me I used this as the perfect opportunity to hunt myself down some stunning new china pieces to add to my growing collection but more about this later!
We had already been treated to the beautiful sweeties from Mrs Nicola Savill of Loveland's Sweet Celebration who had created sweetie bags with stunning little hen party labels. She is able to create these for all sorts of events so check her out on facebook http://www.facebook.com/Lovelands.Sweet.Celebrations
Doing what all good vintage lovelies do, we took ourselves off to have a spot of afternoon tea and found this stunning little tea shop tucked away down Brighton's North Laines.
The Tea Cosy at first glance looks like a antiques shop which is right up my street but as you move inside you realise it is a vintage tea room with enough royal merchandise to stock the gift shop at Buckingham Palace!
Playing Glenn Miller (which I promptly brought the CD to play during my afternoon tea at the big day), we settled down to a treat of sandwiches and scones. Of course this prompted the discussion about which goes first, cream or jam!
Having stuffed myself with scones, we decided it would be for the best if we tried to walk off some of our afternoon tea and went a wandering down the laines, where we came across this amazing flea Market on Upper Gardener Street.
I was like a child in a candy store with my poor friend looking on in bemusement as I selected six gorgeous trios to add to my collection with a very blue theme running through my selections. These will all be available to hire as I managed to get these safely across London with the help of my fellow travellers.
No trip to Brighton would be complete without a wander to the famous pier with it's stunning vintage features, though we did take this opportunity to play on the 2p slot machines! We also won a Hello Kitty mug which is not on par with my vintage lovelies but we had fun trying to win it none the less.
Unfortunately the wind was not in our favour and I left the pier looking rather windswept but this gave us the opportunity to explore the beautiful seafront with it's vintage features.
We are already planning our return trip and this time we will be taking the car so we can pick up even more vintage loveliness

Quite an interesting and funny share! Floral décor done at my colleague's wedding party was simply eye stunning. Couple looked so much in love. Photography session was beautiful complemented by the gorgeous set up of Seattle Wedding venues done by the decorators. Dinner was mouth watering and huge varieties of snacks were tasty too.
