Back on Etsy

2010-09-17T12:03:00.000-07:00

We've been away from Etsy for ages until this week

when we finally got around to putting some new

(old, that is vintage)

stuff in the shop.

Lots more to add , it's all quite exciting really.

Free Range Hens

2010-07-08T13:17:00.000-07:00

Not what you'd expect to see is it?

Shocked and appalled at the condition of ex commercially kept free range hens as high lighted by The Chicken Daily.

If anyone is still reading this blog go over to The Chicken Daily and see for yourself, use one of their photographs and raise awareness within the blogging community. Please...

Elderflower time again

2010-06-26T12:27:00.000-07:00

Golly can't believe we are at the end of June already, the hedgerows are full of Elderflower and I'm reminded that only a few posts ago I was linking to a recipe to Elderflower Champagne. I'm obviously not blogging enough!
Anyway this time the link is for Elderflower Cordial and once again it's our Renaissance friends who are providing it.

Mad March Hare

2010-03-19T12:14:00.000-07:00

Goodness me what a bad blogger I am, only one post so far this year!

Feeling a bit like a mad march hare at the moment with far too many things to do.

Or maybe that's The White Rabbit - "I'm late, I'm late..."

Best Wishes for 2010

2009-12-30T14:14:00.000-08:00

Well another year is almost upon us, let's hope it's a good one.

Happy New Year!

Elder

Have you ever tried Elderflower Champagne?
It's a lovely, refreshing fizzy summer drink with only the slightest amount of alcohol.
It's also very, very easy to make you'll find the recipe here

Wordless Wednesday - with a few words

2009-05-13T05:00:00.001-07:00

Although posts have been few and far between we haven't turned our backs on blogging yet!

Many thanks to those of you who still take the time and trouble to visit us from time to time we will get round to catch up with you very soon. Promise.

Wordless Wednesday

2009-02-26T03:21:00.000-08:00

Just discovered Wordless Wednesday, okay I know it's Thursday but what a great idea especially for such a recalciltrant blogger as I. And yes I know this hasn't been exactly wordless either but I'll try harder next Wednesday!
Many thanks to thosewho stopped by to welcome Caton Darling & Moore back to blogging, it was lovely to hear from you and much appreciated.

About time

2009-01-20T10:15:00.001-08:00

We thought it was about time we came back, especially when we noticed that the nasty, dispicable spammers have been visiting. Sorry about that.

They have also invaded the old Typepad address - does Typepad sell off old blog addresses for advertising? Anyway it would appear that we are now into gas fires.

Gas fires, insurance, credit, payday loans etc, etc are nothing to do with us we are just into vintage. Still selling on Etsy.

The china figurine is above is our latest listing, you can find it here.

Promise we won't stay away so long again.

Rainy Day Roses

2008-07-06T06:39:00.000-07:00

Rainy days again but at least the roses look wonderful in the rain.

The Party's Over.....

2008-07-01T04:15:00.000-07:00

Well the party at Vanessa's might be over but I've rustled up a few treats just in case anyone pops by.

The Mad Tea Party

2008-06-28T10:13:00.001-07:00

Everyone is invited to Vanessa's party over at A Fanciful Twist, she is celebrating her 200th post with a party and not just one giveaway but 3!
I love a good tea party don't you? One with lots of sandwiches and cake and pots and pots of tea.

Anyone care for a cup of tea?

(China available from renaissanceshop.co.uk)

Milk?
Sugar, one lump or two?

(Pressed glass available from renaissanceshop.co.uk)

And how about a little something to nibble upon?

(Cake stand availbele from renaissanceshop.co.uk)

It's Party Time

2008-06-27T05:04:00.001-07:00

This Saturday the amazing Vanessa Valencia is hosting a blog party to celebrate her 200th post, you can find out all the details at her blog A Fanciful Twist.
I'm going to host a little tea party using vintage china and vintage pressed glass, lots of flowers and cake of course. But first I'll have to decide what to wear, I think I'll have to get some of that vintage fashion advice.....
Hope you can make it to the party, see you there.

Welcome to our new blog home

2008-06-24T07:40:00.000-07:00

Hello I'm so glad you've found us here at the new blog home of Caton Darling and Moore. Come on in, grab yourself a cup of tea or coffee, or maybe you'd prefer something a little stronger?

Stay a while and we'll chat about all our usual bloggish things like flowers and books, gardens and cookery, and all things vintage and don't forget we have cake too.
I've still got lots of "housekeeping" to do before this blogger blog feels like home but hopefully it will be fun, so please call by again.
