I've something to show you...and a giveaway ! ;-)


Take a seat and enjoy with me,

A mug of coffee or a cup of tea.



After that, we'll stroll around

a new shop...in a Devon town.




This shop is good enough to eat.

Once inside, ohhh... it's such a treat!



Vintage touches on every table.

With information on each label.




To leave empty handed...there is NO HOPE!

There's even some rather delicious soap.



Hangers, lavender and hearts.

This shop is top ....of my charts!




Every gorgeous floral curtain...

You will love.. of that I'm certain!


It's just so much to take in...
So when you finish...you begin again!





Tenth time around...feeling tired?

'Is a bed what madam desired?'



This shop is the answer to so many prayers...

And I have not even showed you around... UPSTAIRS!!



A patchwork wall...green and pink
A unit with a kitchen sink.

New home, new name, for this lovely shop.
If you come to Devon, Ashburton's your stop!


VINTAGE EMPORIUM
18, North Street
Ashburton
Devon
Formerly 'Sarah's Lavender Box'
But you knew that anyway, didn't you?
;-)
~~~~~
And finally, a giveaway!
Before I go for dinner.
A 'Vintage Emporium' scoop of 'something nice'
for the lucky winner!
A simple comment will be fine!
Good luck,
I hope you enjoyed my rhyme!
~~~~~
(Phew..I need that cuppa now)
;-)

    Oh, wow! Even I, not particularly a vintage enthusiast thinks this is gorgeous! Now I shall have to go to North Street as well as to The Ark in East Street for my favourite soap!

    I very much enjoyed your superb rhyme, thank you, and what a pretty shop.

    "I have relatives who have a home on that very street, now I for one find Vintage Emporium very sweet, I shall ring my relatives and ask very politely, whence upon can I come for cake and tea "

    ;0) I shan't give up the day job, yours was much better :0)

    Beautiful shop! I actually checked the AA route planner to see how long it take from where we're going on holiday in July but I don't think my other half would be too keen driving over an hour for a shop heehee

    A little too far away for me to visit .... which is probably a good thing for my finances.

    You have such lovely shops in your part of the world - it is probably just as well I don't live there, I would be quite impoverished!
