Urgent help needed as may have missed article in printed newspaper where my shop is featured. Does anyone have last Saturday’s (May 2) copy of Telegraph Money please or know someone who might still have a copy knocking about their home?

Hello. Anyone still following this page? I now have a second-hand bookshop (also holiday let with or without running the bookshop for fun) with gifts and local art in Loftus market place amid the tourist gems of the North Yorkshire Coast - the moors, Whitby, Saltburn, steam trains of Grosmont/Goathland, Staithes and many other picturesque fishing villages. I have some left over stock from Once Upon a Belt in there too. Marta x

I am opening a new venture near Whitby. I have some belts and buckles left over that I will have in my bookshop. Would love to meet any customers / contacts who live or holiday that way. I will also be running events and an airbnb like The Open Book in Wigtown for those who would relish the opportunity to play shop for a week with a lovely second hand bookshop near the sea n to explore the many things this part of God’s Own Country has to offer.

A wonderful showing of how an apple shape or any plus size lady can wear a belt to create an illusion! Loving the deconstructed dark coloured jacket idea ❤️

PS am coming out of ‘retirement’ and constant house moves to put some belts up on Julian Etsy page soon and there are some gorgeous plus size belts with super comfy elasticated backs and flattering V shape front. I am not ordering in more belts but do have some stock left 🙂

I should have been selling these with my belts! Bonus point for anyone off the top of their head can name the female who sang about Miss Chatelaine

When Kate Moss buys a belt to wear in the feature she is creating for British Vogue you know you can retire 😁. That was exciting seeing that.
