Introducing Helen
Helen’s vintage calling started at age three, with entreaties to her grandmother to recite tales of the ‘olden days’.
“I have always collected and accumulated things … driven by a fascination for social history, and an artistic passion for texture, scale, form and colour,” says Helen.
Helen’s true vintage career began at age nine, with her first collection – one of antique bottles dug up from the “Bottle Dump” (a gully near her childhood home).
When her trove of vintage treasures began to outgrow her home, Helen decided it was time to share some of her pieces. Thus Elegant Vintage Hire was born.
“Becoming a business meant I could keep collecting!”
Helen says her most beloved pieces are her cheerful yellow teapot with custom design metal cozy, made in England and her cup and saucer by Johnson Bros. England (a sentimental reminder of the 1950s).
“I use it every day for my morning cuppa. I love how the felt-lined cozy keeps the tea hot throughout the morning. Tea should be drunk by the pot-full, right?”
