New Shop Opens!

In a time when the word ‘recession’ is still poignant and still affecting most people it is heart-warming to hear of lots of new start-up businesses opening restoring our high streets and using empty shop spaces.

In Bridlington over the last few months I have noticed lovely places opening and they should be celebrated by shopping locally. In Bridlington’s Old town a lovely vintage clothing shop called ‘Wayside Flower Vintage’ opened last year and also fantastic up-cycling furniture store called ‘The Little Vintage Shop’ also opened. In the town centre there is now ‘Behind the times’ and just opened today to the public is a new favourite called ‘Serendipity’!
I was asked to stock some of my new products in ‘Serendipity’ and was also invited to their preview last night (Friday) to celebrate their hard work and lovely products. The first thing I can say about this little shop is that it is co-owned by three lovely ladies who make most of the stock themselves and are very well supported by their family and friends (as last nights packed out event proved)!





Looking around the shop I found lots of quirky hidden gems and particularly loved the inventiveness of some of the jewellery. Another favourite was the hand-made cushions which have the most excellent vintage and comic book inspired fabrics which were just great. It was also nice to see some of my own new products in and amongst these little gems. And the best thing about it all is that none of the items will bust your bank balance with most items costing under £10.00.


You really should go and see these thrifty treats for yourself! The shop can be found at N.2 Prospect Arcades, Bridlington.   

 



Good Luck to these lovely ladies and Long may it continue ;)
