Birds yard

Firstly how have i never been to or heard of this wondrous place before?! From the second i walked in i was in love it was like walking into Ariels cave in the little mermaid, so many treasures under one roof. I literally swooned when i walked in and the first thing i spotted was the smeg fridge it the kitchen area of the marvellous tea room on the ground floor. It is a vintage lovers dream, old fashioned sweets to buy, teacups, teapots and lots of other vintage pieces to buy. Heres a few pictures i took while i waited for my delicious toasted peanut butter and nutella sandwich to come.

How cute are these menus made from old books?!

The sandwich in question check out the sparkle!

how cute is the table set up?!

The main reason that i had gone to this magnificent place was to see the lovely Chloe from lifes big canvas and have a nosey around her shop which is great! Chloe sells amazing jewellery and there is something for everyone and every taste. I ended up buying a few things and the hubby bought me a present too.

Firstly here are a few pictures from Chloe's shop

Chloe put this in as a free gift which was so nice of her

I got 2 new glasses chains a flamingo and another cat

This was my present from my hubby its the cookie monster

On the same floor as Chloe is Aurora Vintage which has some amazing pieces. They have both clothes and accessories, there was a number of bags that caught my attention! The shop is very well laid out with plenty of space to move about and some really creative ways of hanging stock. Here is the link to their ebay store and Facebook page.

There is also dora's gift box which sell some amazing toys including paper dress up dolls which brought back some lovely memories for me as my nan got me a few of these when i was younger. I think they make great gifts for young children and i really loved mine.

Now we go up another level where you can find blonde fury hair if your 'do is in need of some attention. As you know i have the hairdresser fear but i was at at ease straight away talking to Chloe she was very friendly and i got chance to see a cut she had just done and i must say it looked lovely.

Then there is the birds art room run by lovely cray fish who is an amazing artist and prints her designs onto bags, tshirts etc. There was a lovely aztec cat design that i spotted straight away, which I'm sure will be sold out in no time.

And finally there is bird shell a great place for more vintage, there was so many amazing pieces in there. There was also some hand made accessories including a ring made from an unused typewriter key. I spotted this while i was there and bought it straight away i love it. I mean who doesn't love a good bit of headwear?! It was made by Melissa Dawson who's shop can be found here

I really thought Birds Yard was an amazing place full of great people, shops and an amazing atmosphere. If you are in leeds then make sure you visit i assure you it is most defiantly worth the trip! Let me know if any of you go and what you think

XOXO
