Vintage shopping

Following on from my previous post, here are some of the things that I bought from Niki's shop. It is hard to go there without coming out empty handed, there are so many beautiful things to tempt you....


I bought a further three pale pink roses as I have an idea of what I'd like to do with them.


I love these colours


I haven't decided yet in which room this picture will go.


The box in itself is so pretty.


This beautiful tablecloth with pink edging

During the week I received some fabric which I recently bought online

Late 19th century beautiful wide satin ribbon.


Vintage towelling fabric


Beautiful blue cabbage rose fabric


Vintage Sanderson curtains

The piece of furniture I spoke of in my last post is being picked up tonight, so no pictures just yet.

VINTAGE FAIR NEWS FLASH: A new fair is being organised by Clare from Daisy Darling (Sorry had trouble adding link) and Lizzie. It's called The Vintage Bazaar for more information, please click on the link.

Nostalgia at No.1 - Shepton Mallet is OPEN!

As many of you are probably aware, Niki's shop Nostalgia at No.1
opened it's doors for the first time today. I am lucky enough to live not far from Shepton Mallet. Soon after dropping off Miss P at school, I headed for Shepton Mallet.

Yesterday's post on Niki's blog was very tantalising, it was full of gorgeous pictures. I spent a good half an hour last night taking in all those beautiful items on display.

As I entered the shop, I was given a warm greeting by Niki. The shop feels very homely and welcoming. The lighting creates a warm and cosy atmosphere. If you like the photos you certainly won't be disappointed as you walk around inside the shop.
I didn't take any pictures to begin with, too absorbed with taking it all in.




















Niki and her husband have put a lot of work in to creating this beautiful shop and it certainly shows.

It was lovely seeing Lizzie again who also popped in with her husband. Whilst I was there, several people came in and expressed their delight as they walked around.





Naturally I came back with a few things, which I am very pleased with.









If you like vintage, antiques and handmade items, I urge you to have a day out in the area and visit Niki's shop in Shepton Mallet, it really is worth the trip!

After I left Niki's shop, I popped over to another lovely shop just a few doors away called Number 21, owned by Belinda and her husband. More about that shop in my next post...

A bientôt!
