How Amy’s passion for vintage turned into a business...

rest spilled over into Amy’s home in Skelmanthorpe.

That’s when a labour of love became a business and mum and daughter launched Be Our Guest, hiring out tea sets and crockery for party organisers looking for something a little bit different.

Amy, currently on maternity leave from her job in a school kitchen, said: “We loving what we’re doing.

“After Ida’s Christening party we didn’t know what to do with everything and that’s how we came up with the idea for the business.

“It was wasn’t difficult finding all this as mum’s a bit of a shopaholic,” said Amy.

“The items tend to be the kind of things most people’s grandmas would have had, probably from the 1950s and 1960s, but they are all lovely things.

“We have so much I don’t know how many we’ve got, but we have a massive pink section, then we started on blue and yellow and we have gone a bit crazy!”

Ida’s Christening in September kicked off the business and it’s been all go since then.

And it’s not just about tea either. Amy reckons cocktail parties will be just as popular.

Once the business takes off Amy hopes to expand into events organising.
