Today I thought I would take you on a virtual tour of my favorite antiques/vintage/allthingsbeautiful shop!
It is called 'Dairy House Antiques' and is in Semley near Shaftesbury, but it is a bit of a hidden gem. It is in quite a big building and there are lots of fascinating rooms to explore. My favorite area is downstairs where there are drawers full of fabrics, lace, ribbons, and an abundance of buttons and all things crafty! Unfortunately the lighting wasn't brilliant in this room so you will just have to imagine the rest.
The other rooms are full of all sorts of things; clothes, furniture, books, crockery, garden implements, the list goes on...
I really loved these little 1950's shot glasses, I almost bought them at £25 but I didn't have quite enough money. I may live to regret this forever!
If you are ever nearby you must visit this lovely shop. There is also a reclemation yard around the corner which is worth a visit. They have lots of furniture and other pretty bits and bobs to look at, as well as lots of old doors and things made of concrete!
What are your favourite treasure hunting spots? I would love to hear so that if Chris, Pip and I ever go on adventure near you we will know the best places to go!

This looks like a lovely little treasure trove! (: I love all your embroidery silks, I have tons stored away someplace but I never get round to using them! I also love the dismantle instructions on that blackboard! (: xx
ReplyDeleteIt really is! I hope i get round to using my embroidery silks, I have just taken up embroidery so I do hope it isnt just a phase!
DeleteOoooooooh at the embroidery silks! I'm using so many at the moment and get stupidly excited about trips to my local haberdashers to buy more. Talk about wrapped up in rainbow colours ;) - there are some lovely floral shot glasses around at the moment (they crop up on eBay a lot) so hopefully you'll find some to love just as much soon! x
ReplyDeleteOh I do hope i can find some more! Maybe when i finally buy my own place i will feel more justified buying some.
DeleteI know it well! Its fabulous, isn't it?!

Oh Hi! How exciting! I love your floor, everything is so bright and airy. Are you often about there? I live in Southampton so it's quite a drive, but my mum and I like to go together when I go to visit her. My parents live near Fordingbridge, so not quite such a trek from there. I'm sure I will be visiting again soon! :)
DeleteThis looks like a place just to my liking!
ReplyDeleteLove all the little bibs and bobs, just by looking at your pictures I can already tell there's a few purchases in there that I'd like to purchase! :)
Definitely a little hidden gem, you must be very glad to have found it x
