The Peanut Vendor, N16

Every time I visit Stoke Newington I cannot help but gawp at the latest lovelies at The Peanut Vendor. I can however forget to put the pictures up online...therefore please excuse the historical (well a couple of week's old anyway) nature of the images, but I can assure you this shop never disappoints! 

The Peanut Vendor is a vintage furniture shop based on lovely Newington Green and with a very nice online shop too. Visit this shop for quality antiques - everything from utility storage and classic bakeware (as seen above with very cool vintage bunting)...

To brilliant 70s style bathroom accessories...
I simply have to get some of this lighting at home...


And start using these for my filing...
The beautifully styled shop always makes it a delight to visit.

And, when I went, there was even a nice bit of taxidermy! I implore you all to go...at the very least to keep my up to date with what's now in store...

                            

New Vintage, SW11

After getting my car booting fix this morning (I hadn't been for weeks - imagine!) I happened upon a sweet vintage shop that made it well worth getting out of my pyjamas on this lazy Sunday.

New Vintage is a shabby chic fest of revamped antiques furniture, china, accessories and some really lovely fabrics. Plus (I think it's fair to say) the most fabulous and extensive selection of lampshades. 

It has a quirky sense of fun with some sweet pieces like this cheeky gal (who wasn't actually for sale as the owner can't bear to give her up!)

I really liked the use of display in the shop with these overhauled dining chairs strung up artfully. 

There were some really good prices for china...

And other accessories to make a perfect afternoon tea.  

An added bonus is that New Vintage based in a part of Battersea I'm just getting to know at the moment, Battersea Park,  that also has a very nice sprinkling of charity shops to browse. Afternoon vintage shopping fun sorted.
