About Itsy Bitsy Vintage
Vintage china, bunting and props hire and a party styling service for Lancaster and Morecambe.
Itsy Bitsy Vintage Description
Itsy Bitsy Vintage was established by Carol Bean and Carole Hunt in 2011 in response to their shared passion for vintage china and textiles. Run for seven years as a china hire, prop hire and vintage styling business, it closed in November 2017. Carol nows runs a vintage shop on Etsy, ItsyBitsybytheSea, selling vintage and retro homewares. Please follow my new facebook page Itsy Bitsy by the Sea to keep up to date with my love of all things vintage, my vintage styled home and treasures I find along the way both to keep and sell.
This page will continue to host photographs of all the many styling jobs I have worked with my partner Carole, and as a sole stylist, many featuring images by my husband Jonathan Bean Photography. This page, along with my Itsy Bitsy Vintage Pinterest account, provides loads of great styling inspiration to all vintage lovers and brides to be. Don't forget to also check out my photos tab and click into my albums.
I've loved being part of this work (there are many suppliers involved in creating the perfect look for a big day or party) and hope that Itsy Bitsy Vintage will contune to inspire you for many years to come.

What a find! A rare (unused) mechanical musical Heatmaster teapot dating from the 1940's. A nursery item for very special children, perhaps used at tea or playtime.
Spring inspired vintage items newly listed on my Etsy shop, Itsy Bitsy by the Sea, perfect for Mother's Day.
Share with your parents and grandparents.
Can you help?
We're gathering together stories at present, and I'm particularly seeking interesting messages sent from holiday makers on Morecambe postcards to inform my vintage art work. Do any of you have any old postcards or stories to tell (or your parents perhaps?) as a holiday maker in Morecambe during the 50's, 60's and 70's?
More tea Vicar?
These are so sweet, sister bookends posted by my sister.
Itsy Bitsy Vintage is now closed, this page is an archive only. I may from time to time post information about projects, or vintage events, that I am involved in, otherwise please follow me on my new page Itsy Bitsy by the Sea for all things vintage found and treasured. I post regular updates on stock for sale on my Etsy shop. In the meantime if you are planning a party or wedding and want some vintage inspiration you can still visit my old website at www.itsybitsyvintage.blogspot.co.uk.
We hired props from Carol for our 1920s wedding Welcome Table - looked great, we were very pleased indeed. Thanks Carol.
Many thanks to Carol for the excellent service provided for our Brief Encounter themed evening at Lancaster Town Hall. The simply gorgeous vintage china made all the difference to the evening, and Carol's amazing attention to detail and sound advice ahead of the event, meant everything went off without a hitch. Thanks so much, Julie
Itsy Bitsy did an amazing job creating a vintage theme at my brother's wedding, at The Midland Hotel. Thank you.
I'm in love with all these tables .... Just fantastic carol x
I hired Carol's beautiful china for my 50th birthday afternoon tea and gor lots of compliments on how lovely it looked. It made it so much more special. Moreover the customer service was excellent and Carol was so helpful in helping to arrange delivery and collection. I would defintely use Itsy Bitsy Vintage again.
Carols knowledge of period design is unparalleled. She is a must have accessory to your vintage styled event.
