Quality for less!

We've had some very generous donations of quality brands - perfect investment pieces for this season. 

Bright coloured cardigans are ideal transitional garments as the weather warms up but there's still a chill in the air. We also love this silk and velvet Jigsaw party dress - a timeless classic suitable all year round. 

Raise a Teacup!

Here at The Attic we are always getting beautiful vintage tea sets in, each with unique and different patterns and designs on. 

With Christmas fast approaching we thought we would give you a few gift ideas that are so lovely and different and would make the perfect unusual gift!

How about creating your own candle in a lovely vintage teacup? You can buy wax and wicks cheap online and whats great is you can choose whatever colour or scent you want! and once its used can be refilled again!

I found this great step by step guide from HeyGorgeous.com. Just click HERE for the link! 

And if candles aren't really your cup of tea there are many other options. 

Such as using them for little plant pots for your flowers and herbs! how lovely would a row of mismatched vintage teacups look on your kitchen windowsill with your fav herbs in? 

Or a cute little bird feeder?!  Or to serve deserts in?!

Or if your feeling super creative.. Tea lamp?!

The teacup possibilities are endless really, so get creating!

Bank Holiday in The Attic

We've had an absolutely fabulous bank holiday weekend here at the High Street Shop. With the Fete on the Strait as well as the Kind Vintage Fair on Saturday, the shop was absolutely heaving all day!

You might have also seen us clad in Vintage on the High Street distributing flyers promoting The Attic with links on to this very blog! The Attic has been wonderfully busy all weekend, with many a happy customer leaving with vintage/retro finds. 

We've been open throughout the entire bank holiday weekend and have enjoyed the holiday atmosphere that has hit Lincoln High Street. Not to mention the (by and large) fab weather! Britain battered by rain?? Not in Lincoln!
