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!

Man up Friday!


With Christmas the New Year approaching, there will be many parties to attend! We know how dapper our Attic costumers are, and with some great smart jackets and fancy vintage bow ties in, you could look brilliant for all events!

We also hope you like our new wallpaper which is in the changing room, it's had a makeover and is looking very stylish now! 

Just in!

While sorting through donations this morning we were so excited by these accessories we just had to share them with you.
Team this vintage lace collar with a simple t-shirt or dress, pull on these (new!) CAT leather lace up boots (size 3 £24.99), and finally add this fab angora winter cap (£4.99) for a bang on trend and unique outfit this winter.
