I have said before that we are very fortunate to have people in the shop who create interesting window displays. I would like to record all of them. The window changes every couple of weeks.
This time I decided to try and capture a little of the window from inside the shop. This avoids having reflections of West Street in the picture if I stand outside and photograph through the window.
I am not sure that this week's method has worked very well.
Each week I will look for a theme to demonstrate the range of things that we all sell within the centre.
I can never guarantee that what you see will still be in the shop.
I mentioned last week about a Hornby Dublo train set that had just come in. It has sold already.
This week I shall show you animals. I try to pick something from everybody's section.
But some themes do not suit everybody's stock.
I thought that the animal theme could show that our stock can range from Victorian (and earlier) antiques, good collectable pottery, interesting collectables and also bric a brac.
The cheapest item I am showing today was only £2.

JS specialises in glass, but has other interesting and stylish items too, including this pair of lustre butterfly vases.
JC has lovely linen items. This week she brought in some of her lovely lavender bags in white lace and broderie anglaise. These are a bargain at £7.
She also has all sorts of bits and pieces, including this cat string holder and some frogs.
JN has lovely quality Victorian items. He has several pairs of Staffordshire dogs at the moment.
SBG is selling this gurgling fish vase. There are so many different types and makes of these fish vases to appeal to all collectors.
MAB and JSB who work together have this Poole Pottery dolphin and the decorative plate with great tits on.
JW has some Sylvac dogs. That little green one looks so sad - come along and give him a good home!

This Tony Wood cat tea pot is also in MC's section.

PM has a lot of animal ornaments at the moment.
This stylish threesome are from the Carn Pottery, Cornwall and they are signed.
More from PM - a large porcelain tile showing a cat and dog nestled together and a Siamese cat and a USSR lioness.
More cats from PM. The Large one is Beswick and the small one is Goebbel.
And finally a fun item! A rabbit which has been decorated with decoupage using the Beano comic.
It would be an ideal Christmas gift for somebody who likes something quirky.
Look again next week to see what the theme of the week is.
