Tracy’s Emporium

There are a few secondhand antiquey type shops in Uppingham, Rutland ranging from proper, proper antiquities on the high st with prices to match to bric a brac type junk shop collectibles at Loros Hospice, with posh junk, small ceramics and silverware, at Legacy run by Mo Cerrone.

In the middle of the road and my absolute favourite, off the beaten track in some warehouses round the back of the town you’d never find unless you knew about it, Tracy’s Emporium, run by you guessed it, Tracy. We used the sat nav and went around the block more than once before we figured out exactly where she was.

What are you going to find.

I’ve been a couple of times and on both occasions I went with something in mind I needed, found that loosely and bought a few other amazing things, you’d never in a million years find, it’s just that kind of place.

Tracy has really good taste, she buys small useable pieces of furniture, she’s got a great eye for understanding how pieces work together and for a shop where everything is hand picked and individual she does have a knack of merchandising and curating her quite large space to show off her wares as beautifully and creatively as possible.

For me it’s a shining example of someone working with passion on something she loves.

Tracy even found me a couple of specific things I mentioned I was on the look out for if she stumbled across anything. I have a quick simple description and she absolutely nailed it and delivered the items and I believe she didn’t charge me for delivery.

If you are looking for mirrors, lamps, small furniture, paintings/pictures combined with a bit of a gallery, never seen anything like that before experience, pop in for browse.

All the things I have bought have been very reasonably priced.

Full biography

My first love is art and home interiors. I am a forty something flower power ex hippy, spiritual not religious, own a set of tarot cards I like to play with and a few crystals, not a fanatic. Like a music festival in the summer. My hairs always been a bit wild child so like to tame my mane, other than that my beauty routine is simple. I don’t buy a lot of clothes tend to know what I like usually comfortable and rewear most of my stuff. Not an activist but definitely concerned about climate change and rising sea levels, gave up eating meat for this reason and I like animals. Divorced no kids. When I buy something I like it to work and I like it to last. Currently in a long distance relationship, my fella lives in London. I am pretty organised and cannot stand big brand and big business incompetence. These days I try to stay away from big companies and big business, preferring to support small instead, the people are usually much nicer and the businesses way more effective. I like to deal with human beings it makes life easier. In my experience forget the customer is always right, I’ve learned the customer usually pays.
