Lovely Leonora

Leonora is my newest creation...she is a soft and gentle beauty. She has stunning French beaded daisies, intertwined with vintage crystal, jewellery, buttons and millinery flowers...off white...sparkling....

....Love Me, Love me Not....

She is a true Parisian charmer... sophisticated & a true classic.

She is now available in my shop

It feels good to be back, however it will be a slow start, I plan to gently get back into the swing of things this year...Life has taken such a different pace since having August....it can be such a whirlwind being a Mama!

Hi my name is Emma and...

...I have given up trying to work in a pretty, ordered space...I will never be the tidy girl of my dreams, the one who has everything in the right place...

I like messy...messy works for this Vintage Magpie.

About a foot of clear workspace is all a girl needs!!!

Don't judge me ;)

A sneaky peek on the work bench today....

....I have been working on my new online shop....working hard creating bouquets that will tickle your taste buds!

All these buttons will be lovingly wired and find a home in one of Vintage Magpie's Divinely Decadent Bouquets.....will it be yours???

(P.S I made this cute bowl on my hen do....and think it is a wonderful....polka dots are a firm favorite of this Magpie!!)



I adore this soft cornflower blue in these wired flowers....do they fit your colour theme?



I'm feeling the lovely feel of Spring and it is making me very creative...our flat is basked in glorious sunshine...the first of the year...blue skies and chatty sparrows on the beech hedge, are what I can see from my window.....

Inside there is beautiful flowering blossom

J'adore Spring!!

Are you feeling the beauty of the season?

My Aim for 2010

I have made myself a little blog promise... I am going to TRY and post everyday...phew this could be tough, but it is my aim for 2010.

As much as I would love it to be all about Vintage Magpie Bouquets, I really don't think that is going to be possible. So I will be posting about my plans for our wedding and what lovely things I have been lucky enough to come across on the wonderful World Wide Web.

This hopefully will give you lovely bloggers new and exciting things to inspire your beautiful minds!

It's back to work I go!

From Amsterdam to Brighton, both so beautiful and such great fun!!

I had the most amazing 2 weeks, from seeing my favorite painting in De Haag, to sitting in Amsterdams famous squares soaking up the atomophere, to lying on the beach, and a baking hot day in London. Chilled out, relaxed and with the best company a girl could ask for.

But enough of the holiday talk.....back to work I must go!! I have lots to do, and last minute brides to madly make bouquets for. Lots of photos will follow to show you what im up to....i hope you enjoy!!

Happy holidays everyone!! xxx
