Ah, its that time again, there's a certain "fizz" in the air (and in the alcohol)-everyone is racing around to buy novelty things that will be in the loft by January 3rd and wondering if 15 pints of milk will do them for 2 days. I loves it!
Christmas seemed to start early this year with the lights being switched on by that local celeb and ex-Python Mr Cleese. We stayed open late enough to see the swathes of people clutching glow sticks and sporting cold, red noses. Since then it's been a shopping frenzy as everyone begins looking for "The Perfect Gift". We made sure we had some vintage sparkles in stock for those who were looking for something a little different, or wanted to jazz up that LBD for the Christmas party!
As an "also"...we recently had some amazing 1920's, 30's and 40's pieces in. We tend to be very picky when it comes to pre-1950 clothing, we see an awful lot of it that is essentially unwearable-badly marked or with holes etc. Our ethos has always been about "wearable vintage", your vintage should be able to be mixed with a good quality modern piece. However, these pieces came in and they are immaculate. Literally, pull them (carefully!) from your wardrobe and put on, they are that good. So exciting. A few items have gone already, obviously, but if you're passing-just pop in and i'll be happy to show them off!
So, back to Christmas-we are forecast snow, but nothing as yet. I know it causes havoc, but it does look pretty! Maybe a gentle dusting, please Santa...In the meantime, hope one and all are home and happy and looking forward to the holidays! Merry Christams one and all!!
