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)
;-)

Gorgeous rhyme... so apt for the shop. I should have guessed that was where it was... it all looked very familiar. I must rush over soon and take a peek at all the new goodies. thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteLove Yvonne x
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
ReplyDeleteMel xxx
Oh my - what a gorgeous shop - why does it have to be so far away!!
ReplyDeletei'm sorry its taken, so much time, to try and think of a pleasant rhyme, to describe her shop, of all things pretty.... when all i can think of is a dirty ditty!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous shop: I can just smell those lovely soaps.
ReplyDeleteAshburton is definitely on my "to visit" list! ... ;0)

Great poem, Sal, it made me smile as did the photos of the lovely shop:)
ReplyDeleteA little too far away for me to visit .... which is probably a good thing for my finances.

Bonne journée !

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!
