My good friend Jackie (*no relation to Joan)

This post has been a long time coming. It has been on the back burner for a while (mainly as I have been waiting for a picture from a friend but it has yet to arrive... he knows what I am talking about). Anyway, during my fun-filled summer, I spent occasional stints in my hometown of Midleton, Co. Cork, Ireland. If you know me, you will know I am NOT a massive fan of this little town. I have been mildly homesick for homecomforts, like family and friends, here in London, but if I could move a group them to London, this niggling feeling would be gone.
Midleton and I.. We don't really have anything in common. Except for Jackie Browne's Vintage Homeware and my awesome family.
Jackie is an absolute Legend. Hailing from Whitechapel (my new haunt) she tells incredible stories. But that is not the point of this post. The point is, if some day you drive through Midleton, stop on the Main Street and check out her shop.




I found vintage Prada there. Odhran got an amazing blue velvet blazer there. I want to dress my house with her furniture. I spent afternoons working with Jackie (ie talking men, vintage clothes, men, London).

I know some of our readers may never get the opportunity to see this shop, but I had to share it. And if our Irish readers do pass through Midleton, go in, tell her Fiona recommended the shop to you.


Peace, fi xx
