We came home from our seaside holiday via the picturesque town of Hay-on-Wye. Hay is best known for it’s book shops.

There are also many other interesting shops. I was enchanted with ‘The End”. This shop has a lovely collection of old linen and textiles plus vintage clothes and handmade items. Rather than totally renovating the interior of this shop the owners have retained much of it’s original decor in all it’s faded glory.

I picked up some lovely little tea cups from a charity shop, they were just about to get taken to be recycled as no one wanted them. I also bought a vintage children’s book from the Castle Bookseller (pictured above).
