As much as I love taking you all on virtual tours of the National Trust properties we visit, there’s only so much I can show you. That’s why I was delighted to discover (in my latest National Trust bulletin… yes, really) that the National Trust has recently started cataloguing their hundreds of thousands of historic objects online. As of writing this post, there are currently over 750,000 entries available for viewing. That’s a whole lot of antiques to drool over.
If you decide to take a peek, share your favourites in the comments!
That’s SO cool! I love the chopsticks and the coral. I feel like I’m going to be drooling over this bulletin for awhile…

I volunteer at a National Trust property and this (www.nationaltrustcollections.org.uk/object/597990) is one of my favourite paintings in the house. Her expression is so engaging but intriguing. They also have an amazing collection of samplers – unfortunately the pictures don’t do them justice. If you are ever in Somerset/Dorset let me know and I will take you on a tour! I love the National Trust and it is lovely to find a fellow fan.
How kind, thank you!
I think I just died and went to heaven. I can literally see the hours of my life I’m going to lose browsing their archives.
I work on a similar project at a museum, it’s lovely to see people enjoying the kind of work I do!
Hi! Iloooove your blog, so full of inspiration!
I also really like the design of your blog, I am a new blogger trying to set it up with a theme that I like. What theme are you using?
Hi Sofia, thanks! It’s the Thesis theme by DIYthemes. It’s a bit pricey, but well worth it!

Shall have to check that out! Thanks for sharing :D
Oh my I’ve just lost an entire afternoon going through this – it’s been added to my favourites! It’s too hard to pick a favourite but I do love the old dollshouse furniture from Erddig, when I visisted I spent ages admiring the entire dollshouse! x

This selection is so perfect, love those jewels. Makes me think of an ocean siren, dont know why buts it looks like all of those would have been take from a fairytale!
