‘Carl Larsson meets Suffolk’ crossed with your ‘Mad Maiden Aunt’s House’ is how former interior designer Anne Marie Jacob describes her latest venture, Elly Botilda, the Vintage and Antiques shop that she has recently opened in Uggleshall, Suffolk with her mother Mille.

For all those who love rummaging around in such places, this is a real Aladdin’s Cave of collectables with more and more pieces being brought in daily as Anne Marie and her mother scour the county for new finds.

Anne Marie says, “What we have done is consolidated several years worth of  finds and weekly visits to auctions to create a shop within a barn. I change everything once a week, recreating a different ‘theatre set.’ We have all  our old jazz LPs playing in one room, and a mini cinema on the TV of all the old classic movies playing from Gone with the Wind…through to The Glass Bottom Boat.

From charming patterned tea sets to Victorian day beds, lacey linen, magic wardrobes, school clocks, charming chandeliers, turn of the century postcards and prints, old school trunks the shop houses everything one would need to complete the charming country cottage look.

You will be warmly welcomed  and offered  tea and cakes whilst you browse. What could be better any day of the week?
