What a fantastic morning I have hadin Ramsbottom (a little way North of Manchester) . After a tip off that it might be a good place to have a hunt for some new additions to the Alice’s Vintage Pantry shelves, I made the trip up there early this morning to be met by cold rain and a lot of closed shops. A cup of tea and half an hour later, closed signs turned to open and I began the search through a number of charity, antique and vintage shops. A few hours on with cold soggy feet, and a lighter purse I am delighted to share these photos with you…great finds that will soon be making an appearance at our vintage tea parties…

Special thanks to the lovely ladies at Jesse May’s Tearoom…not only do they serve a good cuppa, sandwich and piece of cake, you can also bag yourself a vintage bargain from their collection of vintage items for sale…well worth a visit.
