What a scorcher this weekend promises to be, and with that in mind we've worked really hard to bring you some fantastic new ladies fashion in wonderful, bright summery colours. We're open all weekend so don't forget to pop by and grab a bargain as we have all your favourite high street brands including H&M, Zara, Jeager and even Michael Korrs (to name just a few)! 

We've also totally revamped Menswear to keep our dapper gents looking. well.. dapper! There's many a pair of designer jeans and shirts to be found, along side some fab accessories and some perfect gift ideas.

This last week saw a huge run on our fantastic selection of furniture, so yesterday we received six new pieces of quality vintage/retro pieces. We particulary love the vintage Laura Ashley Chesterfield.

Have a fantastic weekend and enjoy the sunshine! 

Wimbledon

Anyone for tennis? 

We're celebrating the start of Wimbledon with a vintage inspired tennis window.

Bright & Beautiful

As the sun is shining and people enjoy the Lincolnshire Show this week, we thought we'd keep things bright and beautiful with our window. It is always such a pleasure to hear the wonderul positive feedback we get about our quirky, eye-catching windows. The displays reflect the fantastic high quality donations we have so generously donated to us, including ladies fashion and vintage/retro lifestyle accessories in our Attic. 

If you missed it, here's a pic of our last window display as we embraced the release of The Great Gatsby with a touch of  Liberace, Behind the Candlebra!

 

Which has been your favourite of our window displays? 

Father's Day

 

Treat Dad to something different this Father's Day with many of the quirky gift ideas we have to offer in The Attic. From vintage cameras and binoculars, to games that will remind him of his childhood, pop by to find your perfect gift for him this Sunday.

The Simple Things June

It is no secret that we love The Simple Things magazine, and the latest June issue does not disappoint! 

As soon as we saw these Zinc trays featured, we went to take a snap of a fantastic heart-shaped zinc tray we had in the Attic for £10, but it had already been sold by the time we got the camera out! 

Following on from our post about Homes & Antiques magazine, we were inspired to see this feature with a simple glass vase and vintage books creating a dress and simple spring/summer look for the home. We have a plethora of vintage books in all shapes, sizes and colours for you to accessorise your home with (or read)! 

We were also very excited to see this fantastic patterned paint roller. While we don't have a roller in store (yet), we do have some stunning wooden printing blocks which are selling very fast at £10 each.
