The Curator Behind the Collection

I’m Nikky, the curator behind this collection of vintage homewares and small treasures. I’ve always been drawn to pieces with a quiet presence — objects shaped by time, softened by use, and made with the kind of craftsmanship that’s hard to find today.

I source each item slowly and intentionally, choosing pieces that feel warm, characterful, and beautifully made. Alongside the classics, I’m especially fond of the one‑of‑a‑kind finds: the slightly quirky, the unusual, the pieces that stand out because they couldn’t belong to anyone else’s shop. Those are the moments that make vintage special — the unexpected shapes, the bold colours, the charming imperfections that give a home its personality.

Living in Cornwall means I’m surrounded by markets, makers, and old homes with stories woven into their walls, and many of my finds begin their journey here. Whether it’s a pastel ceramic, a mid‑century texture, or a brass piece with a gentle patina, I choose each item with the hope that it will bring a little beauty and individuality into its next home.

Thank you for being here — it means a lot to share this growing collection with you.

BEHIND THE EDITS

I began organising my shop not by product type, but by mood, tone and palette — the way we actually experience décor in our homes. Instead of rigid categories, each edit reflects a feeling: the light a piece throws, the atmosphere it creates, the colours and textures it harmonises with. It’s a more intuitive way to browse, guided by shape, energy and aesthetic rather than labels, helping you find pieces that speak to your style and settle naturally into your space.

Each edit is designed to help you move through the shop in a way that mirrors how you decorate a room. By browsing through mood and palette, you can start to imagine how a piece might sit within your own space — the light it reflects, the contrast it adds, the softness it brings. These suggestions aren’t rules, but gentle guides to help you pair shapes, tones and textures with confidence, making it easier to visualise how different pieces could work together in your home.

The Earth Edit

Grounded, tactile and quietly warm, The Earth Edit gathers pieces shaped by natural materials, organic textures and the soft, lived‑in tones of clay, stone and soil. This mood leans into weight, warmth and simplicity — pieces that feel rooted, handmade or timeworn, offering a sense of calm, depth and connection to the natural world.

The Pastel Edit

Soft, airy and quietly uplifting, The Pastel Edit brings together pieces in pale, powdery tones that feel light on the eye and calming in a room. This mood leans into translucence, softness and subtle colour — items that brighten a space without overwhelming it, offering a sense of ease, freshness and delicate charm.

The Style Edit

The Style Edit brings together vintage fashion and accessories from across the decades, celebrating the silhouettes, textures and details that define each era. From the soft romance of a Y2K tulle‑trimmed dress to the sculptural drama of a 1970s faux‑mink coat, this edit leans into character, craftsmanship and the quiet thrill of finding a piece with history. It’s a space where timeless shapes, nostalgic materials and era‑led styling come together, offering a curated glimpse into how fashion has evolved while still feeling wearable today.

The Coastal Edit

The Coastal Edit gathers pieces that feel light, breezy and quietly sun‑washed, shaped by soft blues, sandy neutrals and the gentle textures of shoreline living. This mood leans into calm, open simplicity — items that echo sea‑worn materials, pale woods, glassy tones and relaxed, effortless styling. It’s a space for pieces that bring a sense of clarity and coastal ease into the home without leaning into theme or novelty, just a natural, airy calm.

The Neutral Edit

The Neutral Edit brings together pieces defined by calm, understated tones and gentle, natural textures — a palette of creams, soft browns, warm greys and muted stone shades that settle quietly into any space. This mood leans into balance, simplicity and ease, favouring items that feel timeless, versatile and softly grounding. It’s a space for pieces that add warmth without weight, creating a harmonious backdrop that works effortlessly across styles and seasons.

The Jewel Edit

The Jewel Edit brings together pieces with depth, richness and a sense of quiet opulence — colours and materials that echo gemstones, metallic finishes and saturated, light‑catching tones. This mood leans into drama and elegance without feeling heavy, favouring items with lustre, faceted surfaces, deep hues or refined detailing. It’s a space for pieces that add intensity and character to a room, offering a touch of vintage glamour that still feels curated and contemporary.

The Bright Edit

The Bright Edit gathers pieces full of colour, pattern and joyful visual energy — items that lift a space instantly through bold tones, playful details and expressive design. This mood leans into vibrancy and personality, celebrating pieces that feel spirited, eye‑catching and full of character. It’s a space for colour‑lovers and statement‑makers, bringing a lively, uplifting atmosphere to any room without losing that curated, boutique feel.

The Monochrome Edit

The Monochrome Edit brings together pieces defined by clarity, contrast and modern simplicity — a palette of clear glass, deep blacks, bright whites and sharp, light‑catching forms. This mood leans into shape over colour, favouring sculptural silhouettes, reflective surfaces and clean architectural lines. It’s a space for pieces that feel contemporary and refined, adding structure, balance and a quiet, modern elegance to any room.

The Metallic Edit

The Metallic Edit brings together pieces defined by shine, reflection and sculptural light — items shaped by brass, chrome, silverplate, gilt finishes and softly patinated metals that catch the eye without overwhelming a space. This mood leans into contrast and luminosity, favouring pieces that add a touch of glamour, clarity or industrial edge. It’s a space for objects that lift a room through gleam and texture, offering a refined, contemporary brightness with a distinctly vintage character.
