Recently I found my weary ass in the shadow of Cardiff castle for the Armed Forces Day celebrations. As the host I was on duty with pinup poise and grace at all times but afterwards my face hurt more than ever; so rewarded myself with a small excursion to the delightful chocolate box town of Cowbridge. I had heard rumours of an Eggs Benedict with my name on it, so with my friend Hayley we headed Cowbridge bound the next morning.
After a thoroughly wonderful face stuffing of eggs, Hayley took me to a shop she knew I would love. We entered the vintage realm of '
Happy Days'. Every pore in my body oozed with vintage lust. Everywhere I looked were trinkets, furniture not to mention music and clothing of the vintage/retro variety. My eyes darted rapidly about the place, mentally placing each and every one of the goodies in my house.

| Customised by one of the owners! LOVED IT! |

| A small selection of the clothing area. |
 |
| The kitchen set up area...adorable. ALL for sale! |
Also in the shop is a tea room which I am reliably informed sells delightful cream teas and cakes. I bought some fudge that lasted me all of 10 secs it was that yummy. Some of the space is rented to like minded vintage inspired artists and creatives so you can find some unique gifts as well. In the back there is even a dress maker! Now how many vintage stores can boast that?
I will be back for sure so if you are in the area I recommend you go. I was so surprised at how low priced all the items were. I saw a mint condition pink 1950s ballgown for sale for £55!!! Now that is good value!
