Once upon a time….
I’ve always looked through rose tinted 60’s glasses at the world…wondering if I could bring smiles of fun to my life. Having been into VW’s for several years and having owned a delightful camper I embarked on a truly unique soul searching adventure.
I found a 1966 splitscreen high top in Hungary, I was immediately enchanted…..I was under her spell…. The thoughts of how to get her from Hungary never crossed my mind…oh such fun…. Could I possibly combine two of my passions…. vintage VW’s and delicious ice cream.
The dream became a reality for me in August 2011 when the talented Mr Polly’s Parlour first sketched our fabulous logo…… Many sleepless nights later…I kept wondering ‘do people really follow their dreams’ was I mad….I was about to find out …I paid my deposit and held my breath…………………………………………………
Istvan was good to his word, my VW was loaded onto a trailer and a transit van pulled her through Europe to my doorstep…. Can you believe they drove all night and never slept a wink.
……moments I will savour forever…….
I live in a vintage inspired daydream…and wanted my little van now called ‘Florence’ to carry with her all the flavour and style of a bygone era….pure sweet nostalgia. I love candy stripes and decided on a ‘Neapolitan’ colour scheme….dusty pink and light brown candy stripes at the bottom and a light cream on top….yummy! I love draping her in bunting…..setting out a marvellous vintage table and chairs creating a real centre piece.
I’m fussy about food….I love organic and natural foods so I handpick my suppliers enabling me to deliver a taste sensation with real passion…..whatever the occasion…..Weddings, festivals, birthdays, corporate events, fetes and fairs…or simply as a promotional vehicle.
‘Florence’ can’t answer the phone so please call me..Polly…to discuss any plans you might have…so you can enjoy ‘Florence’ just as much as I do.
