Last week the turbo on our little van packed up. The garage loaned us a transit van while they repaired it. In an attempt to offset the impending garage bill, we decided that perhaps we should fill the transit with furniture and try and sell it at an Antiques fair (which, by huge freak of nature, was on at the same time and we’d already decided to go).So, on Monday morning we find ourselves, after a 3am start, attempting to sell stuff to the trade. I seem to remember bemoaning the fact that when we are out buying, we are often outbid by the Japanese shippers. Well, having sold a load of gear to them and being paid in nice, new, crisp £50 notes, I can see the attraction of chasing that particular market!
Of course, having received a large amount of cash early on, Kathryn and myself took the dubious business decision to go and blow it on some lovely stuff for the shop. So, coming to the shop very soon; loads of old tobacco tins, loads of old kilner jars, clockmakers cabinets, enamel signs, metal planters and, of course, more cupboards, tables, chairs and other lovely things.
