Heartfelt - the official opening!




Just wanted to share a few more photos from this gorgeous new shop...
Today was the launch party with pink champagne & delicious cupcakes...
The live models in the window were a great idea, don't you think?
I know, it is about time I renamed my blog.. The Heartfelt blog!

As promised in the previous post.. chandeliers  and mirrors from France...

and saucy Victorian boots.....

Nostalgia at number 1 opens for business!








Today I made a special journey....


I drove to Shepton Mallet in Somerset to wish Niki all the luck in the world in her new venture.......




Here are some of the delights that awaited me in the shop.


Each surface and shelf was brimming with vintage treasures...
From pretty china to sumptuous eiderdowns....


Pictures, mirrors, frames, vintage dresses, shoes, shoe stretchers, baskets, padded coathangers.. and so much more. Niki and Dave have obviously worked extremely hard, and it really does show. It has all come together beautifully. Jolly 30's music added to the atmosphere, and meeting a fellow blogger, Isabelle was an added bonus on a misty Thursday morning in Somerset!

If you are in the area do make a visit, and if you are not in the area, it is worth a journey!
