Antiquing with Paula Sutton, Queen of Vintage Cottage Core | Hillhouse Vintage & Louisa Sugden PART1
Welcome to another antiquing adventure, this time with none other than the queen of vintage cottage core herself, Paula Sutton, aka Hillhouse Vintage.

Waterside Antiques is a true gem, boasting three floors filled to the brim with vintage treasures and antiques waiting to be discovered. From quaint trinkets to timeless pieces, there's something for everyone in this treasure trove.

I'd love that but she is a busy lady. Hopefully we will do it again in the future.
My three rules to ignore when antique hunting 'do I need it, can I afford it and where can I put it' !

Hallo Louisa, I’m a Norfolk girl, aged, but a girl at heart. I lived in Newton by Castle Acre and can relate to everything you do. I love being able to share window shopping with you. Why would anyone be minimalist when you can be surrounded by such exquisite items. I have a weakness for French farmhouse ‘stuff’. So glad to have chanced upon your videos.

The sponge on the little letter writing bureau is for wetting stamps - from the days when you would need to lick them to stick them, but wouldn't want to because the sticky substance was made from animal products and tasted vile.
