We Need You

We need you to think of us when you are emptying out your attics... 
We would really like to fill our wonderful Attic Emporium up but we are struggling to get donations of quirky, vintage, retro and antique items.

What you may see as odds and ends another person may see as a treasure. So make someones day by donating your bric a brac, clothes, books, household items, toys and games to us and help raise money for a wonderful charity.  

Steampunk 2013

For one weekend our local streets of Lincoln are transformed with people wearing ingenious outfits. With inspiration from the Victorian times, American West, 1950's and an Alternative World here comes a world of fantasy. 

Come and see what we have in store... So many unique individual items ready and waiting just for you. 

Also in store... We are loving the idea of tea duelling, so much so we dedicated a window to it.  Come and see for yourselves.

We are looking forward to your inspirational visit!

Mad Hatters Tea party

Just incase you haven't seen our fabulous tea cups in the window we thought we would share a few photos. We have got some beautiful cups and saucers in, at just £2 pounds a cup or £2.50 with a saucer, they would make perfect gifts or would look brilliant at a tea party.

Quirky mis matched crockery is all the rage, it can give a great twist to traditional afternoon tea. Or see our previous teacup post for creative inspiration with ideas like creating candles and birdfeeders!

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?!
