I am still looking for a couple bits and bobs for my homemade bridal bouquet... particularly some…read morepretty buttons/brooches. However, I don't want something brand new, not to mention brooches aren't really popular trend these days, so selection would be slim anyway. I thought I would check out some of the charity shops on my way to Asda for my weekly shop. What I didn't realize is that Granny's Attic is not a charity shop, it is an antique shop. It is small, nothing like those antique emporiums with endless rooms of random items that have probably been there for some time. From the window I spotted some brooches, particularly some blue ones (my something blue is the only piece missing) so I decided to pop in. Just an FYI, it is a small shop and it is full of beautiful, very breakable items. Of course I had my backpack on with my reusable grocery bags so I didn't want to actually move around for fear that I would end up buying a bunch of shattered teacups and plates. Sure some of the items are... well they would probably continue collecting dust, but some of the items, for example some of the tea sets are wonderful and would make for great gifts. I think the prices are reasonable for antiques... you would be able to find some inexpensive items if you are on a tight budget. While I think the cheapest item in the store, I have spotted, is £5.00, I have also seen a tea set for £12.00. Even though I have seen far too many episodes of Flog It, Bargain Hunt, and Antiques Roadshow, I still cannot identify really valuable items from your average old item so I cannot vouch for whether it is a treasure trove, but you never know if you don't stop in. The staff member there was very welcoming and offered to show me the brooches in the window. I didn't buy any on this trip, I am currently waiting on a couple that my mom has posted to me, but the lady did tell me that they do have new items coming in on a regular basis so there is always nice selection to choose from. There is very limited parking one store down from Granny's Attic, but if you have stopped at Asda for a shop, you could pop down as parking is free and right behind (and slightly above) the store.
