Love Leigh, Christmas lights & DOV discounts!

Well hello there.

So close, so very close to Christmas. So close in fact, the Christmas lights in Leigh are being turned on TOMORROW! 

The event includes stalls, entertainment, fair rides, live music and a procession. Plus food and drink: including roasted chestnuts and HOT. MULLED. BEVERAGES. And of course the lights get turned on. 

Then on Saturday it's the Love Leigh Road day. Where you're invited to experience all the wondrous shops, cafes and restaurants along the Broadway's younger, cooler sibling of a road, Leigh Road. I hear there will be lots of discounts and promotions going on! Check out the Facebook page for more info. Or follow @loveleighroad on Twitter. Another great local Twitter account to follow is @LeighonSeaSS9 who have all the current news and info on Leigh life and events. 

So, at What the Butler Saw it's a late opening on Friday for the Leigh lights event. And we - Den of Vintiquity - will be there with 10% off everything! Even already discounted items! 

We'll also have 10% off on Saturday too, for Love Leigh Road. So for Christmas present buying - get you tush to Den of Vintiquity!  

Check out some of the items we have in at the moment. 

Last weekend we brought in a painted cabinet that has had lots of interest. It's vintique and painted with Farrow & Ball's Incarnadine. The photo does not do it justice. 

If you can't get to Leigh, but see something you like, contact me!

If you do come down, make sure you wrap up warm. 

So, hope to see you tomorrow and Saturday for all the fun!

Norfolk vintage haul

Oh hello, another post! 

Here you will find some pictures of our weekend in Norfolk, including a recommendation on one of the best villages to visit, and some brilliant vintage items for Den of Vintiquity. 

If you ever find yourself in Norfolk, you must visit the village of Heydon.

Picturesque doesn't even begin to describe it: I always imagine Miss Marple will walk by. 

After viewing an auction, we stopped off at the village to get some bread for lunch from Husk...

...as well as getting bread we ended up in the tearoom with a soup and cake brunch!

On the way home from Heydon, we stopped off at an antique shop in Martham: Child. In. A. Sweet. Shop. Here are just some of the items we got, can't wait to get them in the unit.

We've had vintage milk bottles before and they were very popular, pleased we've managed to get some more. 

Excited about putting these Pelham hand puppets into the unit too!

 Look, look, look! Kodak Brownie 8mm Movie Camera.

 And finally, another Pelham puppet.

These items will be in the unit by next weekend. If there is anything you fancy though contact me here, on Twitter or by email.

Until next time
