More lovely donations

Afternoon everyone! I am enjoying a lovely cup of tea and a naughty slice of millionaires shortbread from our resident artisan bakers The Angels Share. Today we've taken delivery of some beautiful baskets and gardening tools, getting ready to inspire you all to get out there in the Springtime and grow your own.
The painters are now in and our shop is changing colour from the old cream and red of the reception, to three (not 50!) shades of grey, it's looking gorgeous.
We've also had a brilliant donation today of a beautiful vintage bone china tea set with little pink roses on and gold trim, take a look, they're soooooo pretty :-)  Keep your donations coming, they're all gratefully received and very kind of you all. Bye for now LostandFoundLass xoxox

More developments

So, this week sees us inch even closer to opening with our counter being built and our new floor being laid. We all had to fight the temptation to not write our names in the wet concrete before the lino went down-it was tough ;-)  We're looking very industrial at the moment and that theme will be continued with the lighting that should be going in on Monday, fingers crossed!    The whole look will soon start to come together super fast, think 60 minute make over, but far more classy and spread out over 3 weeks, and as soon as that happens we will be able to confirm our grand opening date. We're hoping for mid-March.
We've ordered some lovely new stock of gorgeous lunch boxes and picnic blankets, being very optimistic with hope in our hearts that it will be spring time soon and that the sun will shine for us. Although, it has been a beautiful day today with the sun streaming in through The Station's glass roof, so it must be on the way.
We've had a few lovely items donated so far and vintage is definitely back in fashion with Hollywood star Gillian Anderson wearing the vintage look very well at the BAFTAs this week,wearing a 1949 Balmain vintage gown.
 In the meantime, we are still appealing for stock, Sundays are a great day for having a clear out at home, so if you've got a box of bits and bobs for us (think 40's,50's,60's), please do drop it into The Station, you're donations will all go to help the future of the building. Have a wonderful weekend , bye for now LostandFoundLass xoxoxo

Happy Valentines everyone! Hope you're all feeling loved up! We're certainly feeling the love today for our new stock of gorgeous retro pocket money toys. We've also had a visit from our fantastic shop designers Kevin and Janet from Red House in Bedale www.redhousebedale.co.uk they brought with them a shelf unit, here's a sneaky peek at it to give you a little preview of the style of the shop.........exciting times!! Bye for now LostandFoundLass xoxox.

Work begins!!

Sooooooo our very exciting new project at The Station, Richmond has begun! In March 2014, we will be opening 'Lost and Found' the Station's very own Vintage Lifestyle shop. 
It will feature a mixture of new goods and donated stock with a very vintage and retro theme to it. We are in the process of converting our reception area with drilling and hammering going on all around me as I type. I will be regularly posting updates and photos as Lost and Found begins to come together to keep you all up to date with the latest developments. I will also be posting pictures of any unusual, interesting donated items that will be on sale in the shop.  We are appealing for donations of any vintage and retro items, hats, coats, gloves, handbags, costume jewellery, small pieces of furniture or railway related items. All profits from the shop will contribute to the future of our lovely Richmond Station.  Bye,bye for now LostandFoundLass xx
