Last weekend, we visited Lady Hayes Crafts and Antiques Centre, just up the road from the village of Frodsham in Cheshire. Originally a farm dating back several hundred years, it's now made up of several outbuildings all of which are home to thousands of crafts, antiques, collectibles and paraphernalia - my idea of heaven!
You can easily spend a morning or afternoon there as it's basically rooms full of things to root through. The place was stacked high with china in every colour and pattern imaginable and it's perfect if you're after something a little different for your home. I'll keep in in mind if I ever need props for a work project.
My favourite piece had to be this retro kitchenette with the doors painted hot pink. I think it'd make a quirky shop fixture for the right setting. I also like this set of drawers but sadly I have no space for either item.
As a keen horse rider, this leather saddle also caught my eye, resting on a wooden towel rail.
It's such a great place, well worth a visit if you're nearby. I'll be going again soon with my mum and auntie.
