Mum inspired me to follow my dreams in all aspects of life including the antique and collectable world." Michelle has used this inspiration and surround-


ed herself with the things she loves, while offering aunique service to customers. She added: "It's weird, Iknow,but Ilove the


smell of dusty old things, the woody,musty smell when you open acabinet door on an old piece of furniture, and the smell of years of history when you open an old trunk -such bliss!" Valerie's Attic has everything from jewellery, ceramics, glass, vintage dresses and lamps, to bronze statues, books and records, and even Gift Vouchers.
