My mother in law and I spent a lovely afternoon mooching around the Shambles in York. It was truly lovely. The streets were all ye olde worlde cobbley charm and the shops were a delight.
One of the shops we stumbled upon was "The Antique Centre York". My mother in law was very patient as I browsed two floors crammed full of antiques and lovelies. My heart racing at every step. I was determined to buy a souvenir of our visit to York and of course what better than a vintage tea cup for my collection and what better place to find one. After an extensive search I narrowed it down to three possibilities. But after some soul searching I decided upon this gorgeous trio.
It's marked "Foley China" and I have a few other Foley bits in my collection. I love the delicate flowers and of course the gorgeous pink. It really is stunning and better still my mother in law bought it for me as a present. Ain't she lovely.
After some tea and refreshments we stumbled upon a delicious little shop called "Scentiments". It sold the most divine cakes I have ever seen. I had to stare at them a bit before I realised they were in fact candles. Look, can you tell they're not actually cakes?
Unfortunately I didn't buy anything from the shop. Candles and a four year old do not mix. But they have an online shop and I forsee a lot of cake candle presents in my friends' futures.
York as a whole was a gorgeous and wonderful place to visit. I would whole heartedly recommend making a visit there. Be sure to bring lots of pennies because there is so much temptation.
