The Salvage sisters have had the delight of a few days on the same side of the shuck with Lucy being in Northern Ireland for a few days.
After the trauma of actually having to clear some things out that we couldnt possibly salvage or find room for, at the car boot, we undertook a little intentional rambling around NI to unearth some new treasure hot spots I’d heard about on the vintage circuit.

I have never had a reason to go to Greyabbey before, but that is where the lovely Keri Johnston has opened the most beautiful space to retail her very attuned collection of vintage, retro and kitsch memorabilia. After a gorgeous drive about 20 mins out of Belfast hugging the coastline, we were excited to find this little town has a plethora of antique shops and the like. With the warmest welcome, we pottered through the three room space on two levels, laid out to eye watering, heart quickening, I want-all-of-it perfection.
Keri’s enthusiasm and warmth is exuded throughout her shop to inspire you even more than the fabulous lay out. Get on down there if you get the chance.
Watch this space for our next treasure ramble..
This is the same shop as Elaine’s friend Trish! Keri and Trish must be in partnership! Thought there could be only 1 vintage shop in Greyabbey! It’s lovely isn’t it? !!
Ah brill Jill! Couldnt see another one so was wondering about that, and yes think i met Trish too! we’ll tootle up some day! x
Yes I really love Greyabbey and all the vintage nooks and crannies. Loving your website Gemma and Lucy
Thanks Louise.. I had literally never heard of it till last week! x
Very exciting to see such a beautifully presented and interesting looking vintage shop only down the road, I look forward to my next trip to Greyabbey. Did you know there is also a cracker tea room there where the teal is served from beautiful vintage silver teapots!
Good tip Jenny, missed that, will return in hunt of a silver served cup of tea! x
