Faith, hope and charity...

Whoever said it was 'grim up north' was probably talking about Edgeley, Stockport. I speak as someone who lives there. However: I have found a couple of gems in one of the charity shops, namely the one where I found these Kurt Geiger beauties:

Vintage floral maxi-dress:

Vintage silk Jaeger pussybow blouse:

Vintage tea dress:

This last one is quite dull, I admit - but that's where a hot pair of heels comes in handy.
