A Little Bit Like Christmas!

There's a place in Cardiff called The Pumping Station, it's an impressive Grade II listed Victorian building once owned by Welsh Waters

but now houses over 35 individual stalls selling a variety of antiques and collectable items....

and today I felt like a visit! 

We arrived in the pouring rain, parked the car and took a step inside........and suddenly.....it felt like Christams all over again! 

Here are just some of the things that caught my eye

a gorgoeus 1950's desktop clock/calender

1960's telephone's

{I actually had the red one in my bedroom when I lived at home}

some very pretty birdcages

a stunning 1950's voile dress ~ I LOVED THIS but at £350 it was not to be mine :o(

{the skirt of the dress was small pleats, it had a petticoat lining of what felt like fine tafetta ~ it was simply beautiful but my fuzzy pic does not do it justice at all}

a Route 66 gasoline pump

these beds were awesome

had visions of Queen Elizabeth {I} sleeping in one!

gave me chills, good chills

I loved this little line up, it looked stunning all shiny and inviting ~ the anitque stand clock; the picture frames; the crystal vases and lamps all stood on top of a beautiful sideboard reflecting beautifully in the most amazing wood framed mirror

apart from jewellery pieces I was on the look out for body/dress forms, saw a few but these two ladies caught my eye :o)

a bit of patriotism

a cute postbox

I came away from this alladins cave feeling like Santa had just left the most amazing pressie for me, every corner I turned my heart skipped a beat and my eyes grew twice as big.  A nice lotto win would make some of my wishes come true...

I didn't come away with any jewellery pieces but I did come away with a new addition....when she is nicely settled at home I will introduce you ;o)

What did you do with your Sunday?

hugs

hello gorgeous xxx
