Spring Clean

Have you seen our Vintage inspired Spring Cleaning window?? 

We had a wide variety of fantastic shabby-chic household accessories which will style up your annual Spring Clean no end! 

Feeling Peachy

Despite the stubbornly cold weather, we're adamant that Spring is on its way, with evenings becoming lighter and sunshine beginning to pour through the window when we wake. As ever, we're trying lift everyone's spirits with bright hues in The Attic, and we particularly love the peachy colour of this retro suit. Equally, if you're trying for the retro look but don't want to go full out vintage, why not invest in one of these turbans? In bright colours they're on trend for Spring/Summer 2013 and create a vintage look without going OTT. 

You will also find scattered around the shop and in The Attic our new promotional flyers and invites for our Vintage Shopping Event on March 14th. If you'd like to attend, please RSVP to sbhlincolnhigh@gmail.com and we'll put your name on the Guest List! 

FYI Our flyers and invites were produced by the lovely chaps at APS Printers in Lincoln. We'd highly recommend them for great value, high quality, fast turn-around printing! 

You Are Invited!

If you didn't know already, we are hosting a late night vintage shopping event on Thursday 14th March from 6-9pm to launch new season stock, with the help of Hair & Beauty students from Lincoln College, as well as Photography students from the University of Lincoln.  

If you'd like to attend this unique event please email sbhlincolnhigh@gmail.com and we'll add you to our guest list! 

Romance

Following on from yesterday's post, we're feeling all lovely and romantic today as our Vintage Valentines display goes into The Attic window. We fell in love with this fabulous vintage dress the moment we laid eyes on it and have been desperate to share it with you! 

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!
