Another auction day with Quinneys ✨💎

There’s just something so exciting about being surrounded by treasures and hunting for those hidden gems. I honestly think everyone in the antique trade is a treasure hunter at heart 🥹✨

We’ve collected our winning lots from yesterday and I can’t wait to take you along for pick-up day — I’ll share that with you very soon 👀

This is my last auction day with Quinneys for a little while as I’m heading off to Australia for 6 weeks! 🇦🇺✈️

There’s lots to get done before I go, and I’m definitely going to miss my Quinneys adventures (and all the jewellery 😭💍). But don’t worry, I’ll still be working away behind the scenes and creating content for Kate while I’m away.

One last little treasure hunt before I go… follow Quinneys Antique Jewellery to see all the amazing gems she has to sell

✨Learn something new every day in the world of antiques✨

When I was at Errol, I caught up with my good friend Chloe and her dad, who are the faces behind They’ve been supporters of the page right from the beginning, and I’m so grateful for all their support, knowledge and stories from the trade.

I wasn’t actually sure what these were until I got a proper demonstration — along with a cracking story about their history.

And who knew they were car indicators?! Because I definitely didn’t! 😂

You really do learn something new every day in this trade💛

✨Such a good day at Errol Antique Fair!✨

There were so many interesting bits to have a rummage through. It was VERY windy 😂 but actually really lovely being outside.

I got to catch up with some familiar faces from the trade, meet some new people and even bump into a few of you who already follow me, which was so lovely 🥰

I had some really interesting conversations about how the trade is changing and got to learn so much from people who have been doing this for years. I honestly come away learning something new every time.

I also picked up a few bits and… I STUCK TO MY £20 BUDGET! 😂👏🏻
There were definitely some tempting things, but I’m getting better at the spending self-control!

Quinney’s came to meet me later and picked up a few bits too, which I’ll show you later this week 👀

Now I’ve got loads of content to edit, so expect a little come-antiquing-with-me very soon!

I’ve definitely got the antique bug back and I’m hoping to squeeze in a few more fairs this year. ❤️

✨OFF TO SCOTLAND’S NEWEST ANTIQUES & VINTAGE FAIR! ✨

Today I’m heading to Errol, right between Perth and Dundee, for the very first Errol Antiques & Vintage Fair! And I am SO excited. 😍

There are loads of dealers here, so I’ve got a couple of hours to have a good rummage and see what treasures I can find… BUT there’s a catch.

I’ve only got a £20 budget. 💷👀

What can I find for £20 at a huge antique fair?!

I’ll be filming another video to show you exactly what I find, and later on Quinney’s Antiques is coming to join me! 🥰

I’m also going to be bumping into some familiar faces from the antique world, so I can’t wait to catch up, have a rummage and share it all with you.

Wish me luck… and let’s see what £20 can buy! 😂

Let’s get back to the land of fairy tales… ✨📖

The story continues.

Back in my little creative spot, with my glue, my stamps and a new story waiting to be told. Piece by piece, the magic comes together.

I’m so ready to share this one with you all. 🤍

A wee gift from Miss Quinney 💌 More stamps to add to the collection!

Stamp dealers, look away now… because some of these are definitely going to be cut up and turned into my micro collages 😂✂️

I really need to get back to making my art. If I’m being honest, I was feeling really burnt out from it, so I’ve been focusing my energy on other things—like growing with Kate, which has been SO exciting!

But I’m ready to find my way back to my own art again. I really want to start selling my work properly and get back into creating the little weird and wonderful things that I love.

Any other artists ever felt burnt out from their own creativity? How did you find your way back? 🤍

We love a little bit of lucky woo woo to start the day ✨

May all our dreams, no matter how big or small, find their way to us. Trust that it will all work out exactly as it’s meant to. Everything is working out for us. 🤍✨
