A little pinch-me moment for Hiraeth Vintage 🥹

We’re in the October issue of Country Living Magazine!

Seeing Hiraeth Vintage there in print, under “Where to buy”, described as an “online emporium run by a husband-and-wife duo” honestly feels like such a huge win for us and the business we’ve built together.

This made me smile so much because it instantly made me think of all the hours Dom and I spend sat at the kitchen table with cuppas, tag-teaming every pile of Observer’s Books that comes through the door - checking them over, inspecting condition, working out editions, photographing, listing, wrapping and eventually sending each one off to its new home 📚

Hiraeth started in 2021 as an idea and a love of old things, so to now see our name in the pages of Country Living, in a feature celebrating something that has become such a lovely little part of Hiraeth, feels incredibly special. As soon as I found out we’d been included, I jumped straight in the car to go and find a copy 😂

Even more excitingly, lots of you found us through the feature too. We’ve had such a lovely flurry of Observer’s Book orders that we’ve spent the last few days filling the shelves back up again with lots more titles.

When you’re working away behind the scenes every day, it’s easy to forget how much something has grown. This feature really made me stop for a second and think, wow, we did that.

Thank you so much to everyone who has bought something, shared Hiraeth, followed along, opened an email or simply told someone about us. Every bit of support has helped us build a business that we’re incredibly proud of.

Hiraeth Vintage, in Country Living Magazine. I think I’ll be smiling about that one for a while! ❤️

Lots of love,
Alys & Dom xx

Beautiful new treasures and a little update from me ✨

I’ve just added a collection of gorgeous pieces to the website ahead of a huge sourcing trip I’ve got planned!

I’ll be setting off on the road for a few days tomorrow morning in the hope of coming back with lots of beautiful pieces for Hiraeth Vintage - I’m so excited as it’s been a long time since I’ve done a sourcing trip like this.

I’ll be away until the 2nd of September, so if you’d like anything dispatched before I go please place your order by 7pm this evening - any orders placed after this will be dispatched on my return ❤️

Swipe to see my favourite new additions and head over to the website to browse the full collection.

Thank you so much for your continued support, it means the world to me.

Lots of love,

I think this might be one of the most special little antiques I’ve ever found 👞

A rare 19th century Victorian cordwainer’s apprentice shoe, completely handmade in miniature to demonstrate the skill and craftsmanship involved in traditional shoemaking.

Despite being small enough to sit in the palm of your hand, it has been made with extraordinary care - a carved wooden sole, hand-worked leather upper, tiny metal eyelets and lacing, and a row of individually hand-riveted nails running around the edge. Essentially, a proper shoe made exactly as a full-sized one would have been, only in miniature.

Pieces like this were made by apprentice shoemakers, or cordwainers to practise and demonstrate that they had mastered their trade, which makes them such fascinating pieces of Victorian social history as well as beautiful examples of craftsmanship.

More than 100 years later, this one has survived so beautifully. The leather has the richest dark patina, the wood has mellowed with age, and all of those tiny handmade details are still there to see.

Rare, beautifully preserved and full of history - I genuinely couldn’t believe my luck when I found it.

Now online at Hiraeth Vintage 👞

From garden to table 🌿 🫜

Such a proud moment this afternoon! I harvested my first radishes from my garden, sautéed the leaves in garlic and olive oil and chopped the radishes to enjoy raw in all their peppery goodness 🤩

I started planting seeds very late this summer as our garden wasn’t much of a garden until about 4 weeks ago, but we prepared raised beds and I’ve started planting us much as I can to grow myself 🌱

There really is nothing like the feeling of growing something yourself from seed, tending to it, harvesting and cooking something delicious up!

Here’s to all the other delicious vegetables doing well 🤞 😋 🌿 🪴 🫜

I’d like to introduce you to Y Fuwch Fach Goch | The Little Red Cow ❤️🐄

Oh my goodness, I absolutely love her! She’s beautifully hand-carved from wood, with the loveliest little red splotches and even a tiny working brass bell around her neck. Just such a gorgeous, joyful little thing!

She’s now waiting on the Hiraeth shelves for her perfect new home, alongside lots of other beautiful treasures I’ve added to the website today 🌿

There’s been a huge vintage restock, and the Vintage Under £35 collection is finally full again too - lots of lovely little finds, gifts and treasures to discover ❤️

Lots of love,

Important Hiraeth business today: and we’ve decided we should make this one a giveaway… what should their band name be? 😂❤️

Possibly the tiniest marching band In the world - four little vintage wooden musicians, all handmade and hand-painted, right down to their rosy cheeks and teeny instruments.

Come up with a name for their band and leave it in the comments below. Dom and I will go through all of your suggestions and choose our absolute favourite on Wednesday 19th August at 7pm - and whoever came up with the winning name will become the new manager for this little band 🎺🥁❤️

So… what are we calling them?

We can’t wait to hear your suggestions!

Oh my goodness, honestly… I’m completely in love with every single piece I’ve added to the website today 😍

I’ve had such a gorgeous day photographing and styling all of these treasures that I’ve collected for you - and this little collection of studio pottery might be one of my favourites in a while. So many beautiful glazes, textures, hand-painting & intricate details - pieces that just feel really special.

They’re all now online and ready for you to fall in love with too ❤️

Lots of love,
Alys ###
