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!

First Aid, vintage style

 Hello!

I've had this vintage first aid case for a while and have posted one or two pictures of it on Twitter and Instagram, today I'm just putting them all together here. 

We found it in Norwich, the case is mid-century but the dressings and plasters come from the 60s/70s and 80s (some have production dates).

The date on this leaflet is 1957.

Thanks for looking. If you're interested in using or buying this (or anything else) get in touch!
