I have to confess – I have only bought one thing from this Oxford vintage shop. It was a black sparkly jacket and was a gift for a friend. However, I do love the mannequin displays in the windows at Reign on Cowley Road and the layout of the shop makes it easy to browse. However, It just doesn’t have …
Witney Warehouse is a home furnishings palace! It has a mixture of new and vintage pieces spread across a vast warehouse space. From the outside it could be any old unit but the interior was inviting, and as I visited just before Christmas – a Winter Wonderland feel. The pieces ranged from small candle holders, clocks, mirrors, upcycled coat hangers and …
The Old Flight House is possibly the most beautiful shop I’ve ever visited. In the small village of Weston-on-the-green in Oxfordshire you can find this vintage, antiques and interior haven. It’s a big site with many different units within it and also a cafe for a quick break in between the browsing. Each corner I turned another gasp came out of my …
This week I had the pleasure of visiting Emmaus Sheffield. It’s only a short walk from the train station but in true form I got lost in the middle of an industrial estate – thank you Google maps….! The community and shop are set in the former cutlery factory, Sipelia Works, on the side of the canal. It’s a grade 2 listed …
I’ve been with Emmaus Oxford for just under six months now and things are really starting to ramp up with the development of our new shop. The shop will be on Barns Road in Cowley replacing our current superstore in Marston. I’ve also purchased half the shop in this time and think my house could be used as the Emmaus …
Although as I type it’s raining outside, I’ve brought a bit of sunshine to my wardrobe through these new pieces. I was working in my shop on Saturday and had been mulling over these pieces all week and before the end of the day I made my way to the till. My colleagues are used to seeing me wearing a …
I took a stroll down Cowley Road and was pleased to see two new independent shops had opened up. Inky Fingers sells a range of comics, graphic novels, art books and more – as well as some snacks and drinks. A place to read, chill and shop. The next new gaff is The Bear & The Bean. I love the art work …
Over the past week I’ve been home in Liverpool visiting my family and celebrating my friend’s 30th. For the party I chose a floral vintage number from the Gloucester Green market in Oxford and wore my Vivienne Westwood bridesmaid shoes that my lovely friend Georgia got me. I also got to visit the Emmaus Merseyside shop in Seaforth. It is …
Gilt & Grain sells a range of vintage furniture, furnishings and affordable antiques. The shop is based on Holloway in Oxford and is a treasure trove of unique items. It reminded me of a shop in Liverpool called 69a (but a lot more upmarket and clean!). There were lots of curious items to browse – from small home pieces to …
This week I had the pleasure of visiting Emmaus Leicestershire and Rutland. I went to their two shops – a massive superstore with a cafe and then onto their boutique clothes shop. Lots of vintage gems and pre-loved items and defo worth a visit. And I had some of the best cake of my life and a home-made pasty so a …
