I recall a few responses of hers delivered with a bit of a snippy sigh to anyone querying stuff which highlighted the edges of her vintage bubble - children's plastic toys, children's modern clothes, owning a television, eating anything which wasn't homemade, reading anything other than 1940s women's weekly etc. I always thought the people querying it were a bit annoying, but it clearly irritated teapots.

I guess it’s because she wants to be authentic or at least seen as authentic and having modern contraptions gives the game away.
Alena said that she knew people who didn’t allow photographs to be taken in certain areas of their house because it was messy and wouldn’t look go for instagram. I would imagine that’s Teapots and Mrs Warr. I think Teapots has forgotten that she’s meant to be a mother and wife first (her choice, I’m not judging her for it) and instead fell into the trap of wanting to be well known on Instagram.
The only person that I follow now who lives in a vintage way is real_vintage_dollshouse mainly because she doesn’t take herself too seriously. She enjoys dressing in vintage clothes but you will often see her in modern clothing too. She has a genuine interest in the 1940s and when her and her mum bought their house they fixed it up and bought things for it from charity shops etc. It seems they weren’t focused on it being authentic or historically accurate, but more about if they like it or not.

Sian did say on a few stories she has a lot going on at home..exam time for her children. Its car boot season, I'd like to see her hauls !

Lydia & Katrina have gone..maybe they got some nasty messages following Alena's blogs mentioning them?

I get that she said she's busy but the fact teapots and Katrina have gone and now Sian is still AWOL... Something big has definitely happened! It's too suspicious. I would love to know 😂 Anyone got any theories?

No theory sorry! I don't think for a moment they've fallen out.

Katrina has always been on/off of IG.
No idea about Teapots, may have become all too much? And as I said above - the remaining 3 of The Bleinham Circle may have received nasty messages after Alena mentioned them derogatory in her blog.

I'd say Sian has been knee deep in messages where are the other two particularly Teapots, she had a huge following.
 
I don't think she named them did she? It was fairly obvious to people like us who have been following the saga since the beginning but I'm not sure her more general readership would put the pieces together?

Having done some Facebook sleuthing I can see that Lydia has done her best to anonymise herself on there. She's removed her surname from her Facebook name and all her pictures are just landscapes, I think there was a picture of her and her husband before.

Would have been fairly obvious to many who followed them a while, particularly knowing The Bleinham Circle.

How do you remove your surname from Facebook?
 
Teapots had an insta story a couple of months back where she showed a picture of some
post which accidentally had an address visible. She posted again later saying it was her previous address and she hoped people wouldn’t be “silly” about it. She seemed a lot more relaxed than I would have been. Anyway the talk of why she’s disappeared has me wondering if it’s linked to that.

Sorry should say that I hope that’s not the reason she’s gone and that it’s something mundane.

rememberingtheoldways has been at a quilting workshop with her girls.

Guess who didn't attend?

I remember back in the blog days Hen loved to post her quilts and talk about the workshops she went to. With Cake! She never answered any questions about the crafts. I guess you were supposed to go to her workshops.\
 
Michelle - Rememberingtheoldways posted this week saying the past year has been an unhappy one for her..Their house move a couple of years ago was a mistake. I could not help but really feel for her..having all this to deal with and Henhouse, MrsWarr & Teapots good friends, disappearing from her life.

They've moved to the Yorkshire Dale's. I very much look forward to seeing their new home and do hope this is right for them.

As much the last move wasn't right for them, the cottage was simply so charmingly beautiful. The old range in the living room ❤️

Oh and MrsTrufflepigs move has fallen through, her buyers must have pulled out.

Yes, she posted that they pulled out on the day they were due to exchange. How horrible for her.

I saw Michelle's post too and my heart went out to her. It truly sounds like she's had an awful time and I'm sure the many falling outs have contributed to that. She seems very genuine and gentle and I hope the new move brings her happiness and healing.
