A few of our favourite things

Our primary source of inspiration when it comes to dressing the shop is usually dependent on what treasures we've had kindly donated to us. However, we also love getting visual ideas from the many magazines we stack up between us. 
We got a particular flurry of excitement when flicking through the February 2013 issue of Real Home magazine, as infamous yellow walloper we have in The Attic made a grand appearance! Pick up a copy of the magazine to find out where it's from! 

It's no secret that we absolutely love The Simple Things magazine. Both Carol (Shop Leader) and Rachael (Deputy Shop Leader) are subscribed to the magazine, and the minute it drops through their letter boxes their phones are buzzing with excited messages to each other. We particularly liked this piece on 'Junk Shop Finds'. As a rule, we really don't like to think ourselves as a Junk Shop (!), however this feature gives great ideas on up-cycling, reclamation, and how to style & source quirky and unusual finds. 

It's also not the first time The Simple Things have featured vintage style mirrors as part of their styling. We still have a lovely selection of these types of mirrors starting at as little as £10 - a great cheap, light reflecting, and beautiful lift to your home this January!
