This weekend my husband and I drove to my parents house in East Yorkshire.
This in itself was scarey as it was the first time my husband drove on a motorway as he is a new driver!
{If i could have had a flask of gin to give me courage I would have done! }
However, in the end he did very well and we survived!
As I have mentioned before my mother was an antique dealer for many years and everytime we visit I come home with more treasures I have 'borrowed' from her.
This time I brought back a large amount of cushions that she wishes to sell- created from antique embroidery and fabric.
I also visited my most favourtie junk/vintage shop in the world!
It is hidden away and only open randomly when the owners feel like it!
As we drove past, I saw it was open and dived in-of course!
It is a place of total chaos, but that is what I love about it.
There is one wall full of old library drawers stuffed with vintage textiles.
{I could not get the best pictures I am afraid as they are a little funny about taking photos}
I, of course, purchased things- it would not be right to leave without something yes?
Lots of vintage silk hankies ready to make into cushions and also use in my freelance work
A stunning embroidered bag
A gorgeous vintage bird tin
Also a few more items which i need to take photos of then will share.
Do you have any junk/vintage shops like this near you?
Happy Sunday

Well done to your husband on braving the motorway - I'm 27 and yet to pass my test so he has more courage than I do! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour Mum's cushions are beautiful (oooh, eeerrr!) and don't get me started on that beautiful treasure trove of a junk shop. Good thing I don't live nearby or I'm certain my place would soon resemble the shop itself!
