This truly hidden gem is an absolute must for vintage fans in Gloucestershire. Over Christmas I had…read morethe pleasure of visiting home few a week or so and on my final day in the 'shire my Dad and his girlfriend took me to Cirencester for a brief shop before catching my train. We had a browse around quite a few gorgeous indie shops and had planned to rendezvous in a near by coffe shop, as my Dad had gone to look in some less feminine stores. En route to our meeting point he discovered She Unique and insisted on going via the shop before we stopped for coffee and cake. I can't tell you how glad I was that we did so. Although it's about the size of a wardrobe it is absolutely filled to brim with delights. The window display alone is enough to draw one in, with all manner of sparkling pearls and couture style shoes, but once inside you can get a sense of the true vintage items that await you. I particularly fell for one item, a gorgeous hand-made 1920s vintage wedding dress. Oh my goodness it was delightful, utterly beautiful and an absolute steal at £70. Amongst other gorgeous finds were a number of different beautiful shoes, dresses, skirts, quirky playing cards, boxes of jewellery and fascinators and more than I could possibly remember or type. The proprietor was delightful and had plenty of history to tell about the various items that I coveted. She informed me that she is affiliated with the local re-enactment society as well and there's quite a lot happening on the vintage scene in good old Cirencester. If you've yet to discover this gorgeous shop yourself, I suggest you take a weekend to wander around the gorgeous streets of Ciren, and make a stop off here for something out of the ordinary, antique and beautiful.

At first I thought we were coming to a lawn and home goods store. This was based on the first…read moreimpression we had as we drove up through the car park. However, this is a cute little antique store with a variety of things from furniture, to knick knacks, prints, etc. We came looking for antique furniture, and while they didn't have what we were looking for, we did find a pair of unique cufflinks. Location has ample free parking which is very convenient. It definitely has a little something for everyone.

Antiques on High has the proper smell of old things and has an interesting range of antiques. Rather than focusing on big pieces of furniture, which so many antique shops do, it uses its space wisely to host: Jewellery, books, records, clothes, ornaments, pictures, maps and various collectables. The condition of the goods varies, but they're priced fairly reasonably. I find it's best to go in without the aim of buying something in particular, but just to browse. I can't say anything has ever caught my eye enough to want to buy it, but I've seen plenty of other people who have found the perfect addition to their home or the ideal gift. The best bit is the craft section, where there's a gallery of jewellery, leather, pottery, glass and art in general, all produced locally and all promising to be valuable antiques in the future. There's a great range in here and you can get something for less than a pound or spend hundreds of pounds. Equally, you can pop in for a few minutes or spend hours browsing - it's almost like a mini museum. If you like antique shops, this won't disappoint; if you've never been in one, try approaching it. Don't be put off by the prison-like bars in the windows; the staff are friendly and it's a different world inside.
