About

Hello, I'm Louise & I've been selling online & at fairs since 1999. I live on a smallholding in mid-Wales, UK. 

I sell antique & vintage textiles, toys & all sorts of decorative things that appeal to me & that I'd like to keep if I had unlimited space. I love a story behind an item & am particularly interested in the lives of women & children in the past, whose stories are often not recorded in the history books but whose presence echoes down the years through their surviving personal items. I like to think they'd be happy to know that the items they made, used or simply treasured were being looked after & enjoyed all these years later.

As well as this website, I have been selling on Etsy since 2014 & I sell at some fairs & fleamarkets.

To see my Etsy shop, visit  oldenglishroses.etsy.com  where I have over 12k positive feedbacks. My Etsy shop runs alongside this website but has different stock. I can combine purchases from both when shipping, if required.
