BEEN OUT BUYING!

Err… here is a picture of a plaster Jesus and a leaning tower of toy blocks just to demonstrate that we never know what we may buy on any given day (we’ve been out buying again)

......and that's what makes our business so interesting!

MANY MIRRORS

Crickey! We are building up a large collection of mirrors. This is a somewhat fancy example that would look brilliant at the end of a hallway…

LETTERPRESS LOVE...

Our very beautiful letter press storage/layout thing is now resplendent in the workshop entrance hall. All bow who enter!

SUMMER!

Summer is coming – no, really!

Just in, some very lovely vintage fold up bandstand/cafe chairs. Two of them have at least three different paint schemes showing through and are beautifully distressed - we haven't done anything to them! 

We also have a metal fold up cafe table plus a fold-up wooden slatted top table with two matching chairs. 

Because let’s face it…it has to stop raining at some point!

BEAUTIFUL BOOKCASE!

This post is just an excuse to show a lovely picture of a bookcase that came in the other day. Sometimes less is more with these pics and all the vintage books for dressing furniture were upstairs so…err… less is more when you just can't be bothered to walk that far!

SUNSHINE!!

Upstairs at the workshop when, bless my soul, the room was suddenly illuminated, as if by magic!

After recovering my senses I realised it was the sun making a rare appearance…  Anyhoo it did show off some of the new display space and the rapidly accumulating treasure ready for the open weekend.

STRIP, PAINT OR LEAVE?

The everyday conundrum at the workshop! This cupboard has us a bit stumped. We quite like the paint it has already and we always like to keep old paint on if possible.

However it is green and green can be a hard sell. Grey however always sells! Then again it’s made from good quality pine so maybe we should strip it! It would look awesome but it’s a hell of a lot of work. Back to square one!
