. brighton rOcks . partOne .

hEllo all . sO brighton is now behind me but i wanted to share some of the lovely things i spotted whilst i was down there . on the way down we stopped at lewes a gorgeous little town just outside brighton . first stop was lunch at the needlemakers, which has been wonderfully converted into a little haven of independent shops & a cafe whose menu left me completely spoilt for choice & cakes which left me drooling !

of all the shops there my favourite has to be mary's . a tiny little shop crammed full of old fashioned sweeties, hand made pottery, cute screen prints, cards & all sorts of things that make you want to hand over your purse on the way in . 

downstairs was the aladdin's cave that is revive-all . an amazing collection of books from my childhood, shelves of enid blyton's, shelves of teacups & crockery, rails of vintage clothes, purses & jewellery, the kind of shop you could get lost in for the whole day & still not have seen everything .

a wander into the town via the famous lewes flea market & a last cup of tea in lewesiana before heading off into brighton just in time to catch the sun setting over the pier . . .

. lOvely lewEs .

. have a rOcking good day .
