LazyVINTAGE new purchases + honey hive

Below is a bit of info about a fabulous shop I came across recently.  If you are looking for room after room of vintage finds, this is the place for you.

Where:  Honey Hive Emporium, 192 Prospect Road, Prospect (open Saturdays yay!)

Run by a sweet family, Mum, Dad, daughter and even a pooch to welcome you at the counter. This place is full of sweet finds.

Anyone who has been shopping ‘vintage’ for as long as I have knows how scarce stock can be these days (for finds earlier than 1980!). And when you do find the stock shops are selling at top prices even if the garments are dirty and damaged.  This is where Honey Hive stands out. You can see straight away when you walk in and you chat to the owners, they take pride in their finds, repairing some and making sure they're all lovely and clean. 

I can’t recommend them enough!  well maybe not too much…I want some sweet finds left for me!

LOVE it.

p.s. the bottom pics are of two recent finds there – one black velvet jacket with gold embroidery, and a pink silk kimono robe with embroidered flowers. YUM!
