Sorry for the lack of posts this week. I've been ill, slipped in ice and been working 9-9 all week. What a complete nightmare! I've done loads of shopping and have some great outfit posts to show you which will hopefully be up on Sunday.
I found a great shop in Cardiff recently, it's been there a while but I'm so busy with work I didn't notice! It's called A Vintage Affair and you can find it in the Morgan Arcade in Cardiff.
Here are a few pictures of what's inside...
Run as a cooperative by four local vintage dealers and designers, the boutique is spilling over with trinkets, charms, homeware, textiles, curios and clothing.
I adore it! I'm going to try and pop in again in the week and have a proper look around because I'm sure I will come out with sack fulls of lovely things.
The shop also started to stock Calon products which are lovely home accessories, handmade in Wales.
My favourite product they make is this Christmas bunting-
(Nadolig Llawen is Merry Christmas in Welsh :) )
If you want to get Calon products online you can get them here.
I like that this kind of thing has a permanent base in Cardiff. As much as I love all the vintage fairs going on at the moment I can't ever attend any of them as they are all held on evenings and weekend and that's when I work :(
You can visit the shops facebook page here.

ReplyDeleteMega cute! I've been avoiding going out, my street is like an ice rink.
ReplyDeleteWow this shop looks so pretty! I bet there's some great little trinkets in there, I need to find more shops like that in my area. Hope you'll feel better after your slip-up soon, my bruise has just about healed from mine. Luckily the ice is a distant memory now!
