Welcome to another instalment of 'Blog Post Monday'.  Thanks for joining me!

I've been busy again this week sourcing interesting pieces for you lovely lot.  I had a trip to Sheffield and had a wonder around their antiques quarter, which was rather good fun.  It was during that trip that I found a lovely piece of jewellery in one of the centres and it's this piece that's the subject of today's post, well, more the material that it's made of actually...

So, as always, get that kettle on, get your black jewellery out and let's see if we can't work out some ways to tell the difference between Jet, Vulcanite and Horn...

Welcome once again to another instalment of 'Blog Post Monday'.

I've had another busy week sourcing new stock for you lovely lot and on my travels, I came across an interesting little curio with subsequent research revealing a rather fascinating little tale.  I've decided to dedicate this week's blog post to this special piece of folk art.

So, as always, get that kettle on and gather round, as I regale a folk tale of old...

Welcome once again to another instalment of 'Blog Post Monday'!

I went on a lovely little buying trip this week and found some rather fascinating little pieces, which, all bar one, have been sold to 'Source Social' members before even hitting our website! Unbelievable! The one piece that is yet to sell, however, is the piece that I have decided to dedicate this week's blog post to.

I do love a curio, always have done, always will do, and this piece is up there as one of my strangest purchases.  The long and the short of it is, I saw a set of silver teeth sparkly in a cabinet at an antiques shop and they came home with me!  Even the sales assistants looked at me like I was odd! 

So, as always, get that kettle on, take a seat in the waiting room and let's examine my silver find and have a look at the history of bejewelled dental prostheses...

Hello and welcome once again to another "Blog Post Monday".

This week I found a lovely piece of antique memorabilia.  Memorabilia from a fight that was taken up by a group of people during the early 20th century, for the right to a basic, well, human right...!  I'm talking about the Suffragette movement.

The piece I found is a beautiful rolled gold watch with a powerful message to the face.  A stark reminder of the struggles women endured at the time and continue to endure today.  And, in light of me finding this memorable piece of memorabilia, I thought I'd dedicate this week's blog post to it and the brave women of the Suffragette movement.

So, as always, get that kettle on, pull your mums, grandmothers, sisters, girlfriends, wives, daughters, nieces, aunties, cousins and friends in close to you, tell them how bloody amazing they are, and let's remember the Suffragettes and how relevant they still are today. 

Welcome once again to another instalment of 'Blog Post Monday', or should it be 'Blog Post Bank Holiday Monday', this week?

I've had a busy week of sourcing new stock for you lovely lot and I thought, for this week's post, we could have a look at a few of my finds and I'll explain how you can go about getting exclusive first dibs on any new stock that tickles your fancy, before it gets added to our website.

So, as always, get that kettle on, get those wallets and purses out, and let me tickle your fancy with a few new additions to the Source Vintage collection.
