Brick lane.......
On the way back from Columbia Road, we visited Brick Lane, an old haunt of ours, from years ago and just on the corner is a vintage warehouse called 'Beyond Retro'. Now this warehouse/jumble sale type shop claims to have around 10,000 items for sale, and I can totally believe it....just look at the clobber!
So of course we had to pop in and have a look....I had my camera set so that the flash didn't go off and took all these pic's to show you what it was like, Fred kept telling me to stop! because they wouldn't allow it if they knew....but what the heck!....I just couldn't resist!
So heres a few snippets into this East End Boutique....Honestly girls, if you are ever over for a holiday....do not forget to let us know, we will be able to take you to many haunts that we frequent around London and beyond! to make your holiday truly superb!
This is all so vintage chic....check out those gloves!
And just up my street....Primary colours - I love 'em!
Spot the Jellies!....Honestly folks this was a trip down memory lane....there was many more shoes, heaps of bags and jewellery...there was a mens section with all kinds of accessories for them.....which was great coz while their browzing you can be left alone to look too!......The pretty petticoats took me back to being a girl in the 1970's, I used to have a ruffly petticoat like that in my dressing up box!...didnt we all!...but did you dance around the living room in it to the Bay City Rollers!! Hmmm P'haps NOT!
I have been a window dresser in my time and would of love to of stayed there all night to arrange the shelves and pretend I was shopkeeper again.....Ill have to blog about my shop I have got pics somewhere....thats another story!
This place is heaven.....I wonder if they need a new assistant!
WOW look at those!.....
On the way home I thought I would defintely blog more about the East End....You see Fred is from this part of London and I am from the West End....thats why I always feel at home with 'cath'! (all of her shops seem to be there!) I think I will blog more about where we came from - it should be interesting as Fred's family are typical Eastenders, salt of the earth and all that!....and my family are typical Westenders........all very worth blogging about!
To be cont'd......
Luv Happy xx
