A vintage boutique which recently opened its new store enjoyed a visit from a BBC show.
Vintage by the Sea in Saltburn was visited by the team from BBC Antiques Road Trip in its new shop.
Expert Natasha Raskin Sharp and her team also uncovered two items for auction during the visit.
Taking to social media, Vintage by the Sea said: "We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming the BBC Antiques Road Trip team to our new shop, and they couldn’t have been more lovely.
"Expert Natasha Raskin Sharp and her crew were so complimentary about the space and yes, they definitely uncovered a few treasures while they were here and chose two antiques to go to auction with.
"Of course, the real stars of the show were our shop dogs, Ruby and Bella, who are currently perfecting their “pawtographs” after all the attention.
"A busy but truly exciting bank holiday weekend for us. Feeling grateful, energised and very proud of our little seaside shop."
The vintage shop had previously been on an episode of the BBC show which aired at the end of February, just before the shop made the move from Marske to nearby Dundas Street in Saltburn.
The store announced at the start of the year it would be closing in Marske with a "heavy heart" on February 7.
But on February 10, owner Clare announced the business would be starting a brand new chapter after securing a new venue in her hometown of Saltburn.
In a social media post, Clare described the closure as "bittersweet".

She said: "It’s been a really heart-wrenching time for us because we've put so much work into this shop and have been here for three years.
"We were doing really well up until last summer – we’d built up a strong customer base, and we were even planning to add a tearoom at the back of the shop."
Despite the challenges in Marske, Clare described the Saltburn shop as already feeling like home and you can find it at 6 Dundas Street East, Saltburn.
