We hope you will enjoy browsing these pages.
Each week I will try to reflect the many and varied things to be found within our shop.
The shop has 5 small rooms in a building that used to be a butcher’s shop – you can still see the steel rings in the ceiling from which meat was hung.
There are 19 of us sharing spaces and cabinets.
I shall make sure each person's stock is featured during the next weeks.
We are situated opposite the home of one of the Pilgrim Fathers.
Our window displays are superb and change every 2 weeks.
Do come in and see us.
Next week there will be more.......
This week we have a wonderful Halloween window, which is attracting lots of interest.
It is difficult to photograph the window displays because inevitably the window catches reflections of buildings across the street.
This is a small part of the area used by SBG. They have a lot of good old brass and copper and many things of interest. There is also jewellery in some cabinets.
JN has masses of wonderful china and glass and silver ware, mostly Victorian and early 20th century. You can find furniture in these areas too.
WGM has "boys' toys". He loves his old (and not so old) model cars, trains, soldiers, farm animals, cameras, military items etc.
SK also has things perhaps with a more masculine bias. The telephones that he lovingly restores are his.
JW sells a lot of Lloyd loom furniture - enjoying a renaissance just now. She also has pine chests of drawers and small cupboards. She also has china, ornaments, linen and lace and fashion items, concentrating most on the 1930s.
MC loves art nouveau and the arts and crafts movement. But just now has some lavish fur coats for sale.
This is a part of JW's stock again - linen, lace, christening robes etc.
TJ has half the back room, which was a cafe until last year.
She has a tremendous variety of small furniture, china, glass and jewellery.
PM loves the 1950s and 1960s. She has little sections devoted to kitchenalia, juvenile things, masculine interest, pretty things and most of all the china and glass of the 1950s.
Here is a PM shelf of juvenile things - see the Mabel Lucie Attwell child's dish.
