Just did a post it’s called What Mother Made - mother & kids boutique 

Oh my, have some of us been here so long that we are seeing a second generation of baby shops opening - this clearly means the first generation of kids in "Nappy Valley" have grown and many parents moved to pastures new and there's a new influx of young families! 😉

Could just be a bored parent whose kids have flown the nest Rockets?

There have been quite a few lifestyle businesses like that over the years.

Strangely felt the need to refurbish even though it was literally set up to sell children's items! 

Wonder how much that cost

Also saw that the barbers on Grove Vale next to Alpine Dry Cleaners has become another nail bar.  

Saw someone being clippered today, so maybe its both

They have considerably upped their prices since the refurb, in the larger shop at least  (though to reflect generally better quality clothes etc being sold, to be fair) so they can probably afford it.

It's "vintage" now, not "charity shop." 🤣

Annoying for people like me who have always frequented charity shops and found bargains, and now there are loads of people shopping there, and very few real bargains!

I'm assuming it's the same trend for the children's shop as for adult charity shops.
