Fleetville Vintage Emporium and Scally Dog

A recent visit to see a fabulous friend in St Albans (Yes that would be you Sara) ended up with us pootering about in Fleetville Vintage Emporium. Located in an area I wouldnt expect to find such a treasure trove considering the huge supermarket, terrance housing and hardware stores next to it. This emporium is huge! Plus There is another called Scally Dog behind it. Equally as packed to the rafters with everthing from fireplaces to werewolf heads (hee hee).

Whilst not entirely dedicated to one era there is a lot of late 50s, 60s and 70s items. Everything from household goods to stockings is here and so well priced. I fell in love with far too many items that I think my boyfriend was about to drag me out before I bankrupted myself. Damn it.

Whats also wonderful about this place is the cafe...tea and biscuits anyone? Surrounded by kitsch items it felt very homely.

Go see it! Go shopping crazy.

Address: 221A Hatfield Rd

Cafe...kitsch lust.

Scally Dog find.

hee hee found at Scallydogs

50s Wedding Inspiration

Well I am not getting married but that still doesnt stop me looking at sites for inspiration mainly for costumes.

I came across Fifties Wedding website whilst searching for tiaras for a new act. A quick mooch about on the site was well worth it. They take each part of the wedding, break it down and blog endless articles to help you find just the perfect piece.
