Vintage Norah....a lifetime of gathering.

In the beginning around 1918 in the suburbs of Birmingham, England, a little girl came into the world. Her father was a cooper, her mother helped out and raised the family.

When Norah was six, her mother died and in diaries left by Norah which were found later, she recalls her mothers funeral with great detail. A sadness she carried with her through out her life.

Norah loved to rummage, to find a bargain and over the years she was able to 'store' many, many, many things!!!!

She had a soft spot for hats....we came across nearly 230! Bags, gloves, oh my it goes on!!
Many of her 'gatherings' have been spread around to help with fundraising and even for others to earn a 'bob or two'.

Some of her jewellery have been recrafted into new pieces. You will find them among the listings here. (She sure knows how to keep me busy!)

For me, a grand daughter, she has given me a chance to enjoy 'being a little girl again' sorting through all of what you see here in the shop...it is an ongoing process.

This has extended to being on facebook, twitter, pinterest and there is the blog which has little snippets into her back ground.

All what you see have a story to tell, like all vintage, but on this occasion I know where and who they came from.

Please enjoy as much as I enjoy bringing this all together.

(Nan, 93 years to gather,another 93 to sort out!!!!) x

Update 2016: Since the opening of Vintage Norah, you will be glad to know her items are spreading worldwide...yep she is everywhere, right down to New Zealand. Some items have gone to museums, TV studios, galleries or revivals.
Some have been the finishing touch for a wedding oufit,a birthday gift and even a 'must have a go with these' gift!!!(Hair grips.) xxx
