*Large Distressed Old Style Home Sweet Home Sign*

 
This weeks *Product of the Week* are these super fab
 
This is a super large sign.
It has a fab 'made from wooden planks look' with the words Home Sweet Home in very distressed sepia toned writing, with lots of added 'old worn' bits too!

It is a really good large size that would look good hung on a wall or even better propped up against a wall.

The sign measures 81 cms tall & 51.5 cms wide.
It has 2 hooks on the back for wall hanging.

They are £40 each & you can find them *HERE*

*Banksy Wall Tiles*

 
Have you seen these Banksy wall tiles?
 
Create an amazing graffiti wall but without the risk of getting told off by the Police!
 
The Banksy inspired tiles are £74.99 per sqM from *here* ~ they say they are a great way to add style and a 21st century urban cool to any room.
 
I think they would be ok if you had a very minimalist bathroom!
Perfect for a urban bachelor pad methinks!!!
 
Urban cool or just too darn messy for you?
What do you think?

*A Little Bunch of Spring*


The last few days have been wonderfully delicious weather wise here.
Long sunny days with the sunshine bringing a welcome bit of warmth.

Today is cloudy though but I thought I would nip out into the garden to bring a bit of Spring into our home.
As some of you know we moved into a new house just before Christmas (which we are fully renovating) so it is lovely getting to know our new garden. We are very lucky as we have quite a large garden now which is well established with lots of trees, shrubs, plants & flowers.

The garden is just starting to come alive with colour although just a little bit late this year due to the weather!
I nipped out & took some cuttings to pop in a simple white jug.
We have quite a number of daffodils about to appear but we have only had about 5 actually show their sunny yellow faces! I did feel a little bad about cutting these to pop in the jug but I thought in no time we will have a whole host of them & these will bring a little Spring cheer to the house.

I also cut some Viburnum & some of the wonderful pink flowering current shrub we have & also a plant I'm unsure about,  it may be a Peony but I'm not entirely sure as I'm unsure about it's leaf shape, so if you know do let me know. It is the stem at the back with the large bud. 
I also added some fragrant Rosemary too.
It makes a wonderful wildflower cottage-like bunch of Spring, don't you think?

Have you got out & about in the garden yet?

*New Logo Design*


As I said in the previous post there are lots of things going on behind the scenes
whilst we are closed & one of the things is a new look!

We have designed a new logo for Vintage Amethyst which you can see at the top of the blog & we
have also been busy designing a new website too!
So once we are open again ~ which I am hoping will be next week (sorry it has taken so long but these things generally do don't they!?!) there will be a new look website.

So I hope you like the new logo & are looking forward to seeing the website changes too!
