Three Sisters Decorative Platters

Il_570xN_141244583 
Three Sisters Decorative Platters are siblings based around the USA who come together to create nostalgic decoupage platters.

Each platter is handmade and designed around a particular theme. The current selection includes such retro themes as The Beatles, Elvis, TV Shows from the 70s and 80s, 60s Hippie and the one pictured here, 1970s Album Covers. All of the cut out images are sealed under the glass, so the platters are quite safe to eat off, although not suitable for microwaves or dishwashers.

The platters cost just over £22 each and can be bought via the Three Sisters’ Etsy Store.

   6a00d83451cbb069e20147e2eb8ffa970b

 

Uoldbag! are in the business of taking old bags and suitcases and turning them in to something new and beautiful which references their origins.

This suitcase has been decoupaged with an original vintage crochet pattern and then embroidered by hand over the top so that various elements are picked out in colour.

The case measures 41cm/27cm/13cm, has it's original lining and also comes with a key for the lock. It may not stand up to the rigours of the luggage carousel but would make a great overnight case or trinket box.

It costs £190 from Uoldbag who sell their wares here.

Decoupage Telephone

Normal_IMG_7915 

We’ve seen plenty of retro telephones that are shaped like this, but we haven’t seen any decorated in the same way as this Decoupage Telegraph by Viva Fabric.

The classic style phone has been covered in brightly coloured vintage fabric using the decoupage style. The phone itself is still fully functioning, unimpeded by its unusual decoration. It still has its original cream cord and rotary dial.

The phone costs £90 from Viva Fabric on Not on the High Street.
