Our buying trips have been few and far between this year due to the weather. Lots of antique fairs have been cancelled so we’ve been relying on more local sellers to keep us stocked up. However, we did manage to get over to a big (ridiculously cold!) fair this week and picked up a few choice items.
Thankfully we’ve found lots of taxidermy for the shop – including an arctic fox in a case stalking a rabbit, some stoats and a magpie. Sadly, a Scottish dealer who was supposed to be keeping aside some ‘special’ items for us decided to sell them...Kathryn is relieved! Although we did pick up from him the most fantastic metre long ‘blue’ fish on a plaque – but it’s so nice I’m keeping it...along with the bust of Mary and baby Jesus (do not attempt to break into my house at night, it will freak you out! As would the stuff pictured here...strangely, we weren’t tempted).
