Spring Colours

Despite the mixed weather we've had lately, we're getting really excited about Spring being round the corner and have injected some lovely fresh colours into The Attic to brighten up these bitterly cold days. Not to mention that love is in the air with Valentines Day in less than two weeks. 
If you hadn't already noticed, we like to have fresh flowers in the shop and try our best to get as much life out of them as possible. This extends to once the flowers have dropped as we make confetti using the dried petals. It's really easy to dry petals if you haven't done before. Simple carefully remove the head of the flower from the steam, and gently pull the petals away. Lay the petals out on a try (or similar large surface) being careful not overlap the petals, and leave in a warm dry place. Voila - you're own homemade confetti. 
Coloured glass and dinner services made from oddments are super fashionable, ever-so practical  and most importantly, mega affordable. We have a wonderful selection of vintage glasses om all shapes, sizes and colours which all look stunning together and make a great talking point when entertaining. 
Finally, we have some fab new items of clothing in our Attic wardrobe - but hurry as they're already flying out!
