Lisa Reilly, aged 38, gave up her job as a police officer to set up Tilly’s Vintage Treasures in Station Road.

The ethos of Lisa’s shop is ‘reclaimed, reworked and reloved’ and customers can find up-cycled furniture, original Victorian furniture, vintage linens and tea sets as well as games, books and accessories for the home.

Lisa also stocks work from a number of local artists including original watercolours, prints, lino prints, button art and textiles.

She said: “I think the shop is a little bit of London’s Portobello Road in Backwell.

“Stock is sourced all the time so it changes regularly.

“It’s an eclectic mix of old and new items, lovingly sourced to make my customers smile.”

Lisa is also interested to hear from anyone who has unwanted items they believe are too precious to throw away.
