点评:I love Kirkgate Arcade in Otley. It's like stepping back a 100 years with its quirky independent retailers selling anything from old clocks and jewellery to books, toys and collectors’ items There is even a proper ironmongers’ selling everything from solder to brass screws!
I went back again after Christmas- and now there's a great new kid on the block! A tiny outlet, "#Out of the Eaves Furniture” is run by a former Spanish teacher and translator who is now working hard on her real passion to give unloved, broken and forgotten pieces of furniture and homeware a new lease of life and beauty and stop them going to landfill.
Her business is a treasure trove for unique pieces of restored and reimagined furniture and homeware without the designer price tag.
I'm a fan! Well worth a visit!
翻译:我超爱奥特利的柯克盖特拱廊。那里仿佛带你穿越回一百年前,古色古香的独立零售商们出售着琳琅满目的商品,从古董钟表、珠宝首饰到书籍、玩具和收藏品,应有尽有。甚至还有一家正宗的五金店,从焊锡到黄铜螺丝,各种五金配件一应俱全!
圣诞节后我又去了一趟——现在那里新开了一家很棒的店!这家名为“屋檐下家具”(#Out of the Eaves Furniture)的小店由一位前西班牙语教师兼翻译经营,她现在正努力投身于自己真正的热爱——让那些无人问津、破损不堪、被人遗忘的家具和家居用品重获新生,焕发美丽光彩,避免它们被送往垃圾填埋场。
她的店简直是个宝库,里面有许多独具匠心、经过修复和改造的家具和家居用品,而且价格亲民。
我太喜欢这家店了!绝对值得一去!
