If you are looking for a stylish outfit to wear for Whanganui Vintage Weekend the Hospice Boutique in Victoria Ave can get you kitted out.
Manager Jo Hodder says the shop has a big selection of suitable clothing and accessories in stock and they will go on sale from Monday,January 14.
"We want to help celebrate Vintage Weekend and raise money for Hospice at the same time."
Hodder says Bruce Ardell is lending a car from the collection at his Fordell museum to be displayed in the shop.
"It will be parked on the floor in front of the window so people can pose with it and take selfies.
