This week we take a look at one of Jonathan's areas.
This area is in Room 2, just up the three steps from the room by the entrance.
He tends to be searching for stock dating from Victorian times to the 1930s. It is normally decorative and useful. His area is crammed full of table ware and ornaments of a traditional style - lots of blue and white, flowers, ornaments and figurines.
Sometimes he has silver.
Jonathan is a very strong figure within our community, but is often busy selling at fairs.
He normally spends some time at the shop on Wednesdays. I suggest if you want to chat with him you should phone first to see if he will be in.
A general view of this area. Jonathan's stock can be found in both cabinets and open shelves.
Another general view.
Pretty china and ornaments in one of the cabinets.
A variety of things in the same cabinet - showing that glass can be found too. He particularly likes cranberry glass, but often has sets of drinking glasses.
Victorian Staffordshire dogs.
The ever popular Royal Albert Old Country Roses range of china.
Blue and white.
An ornate decorative centrepiece for the dinner table.
Miscellaneous china - a lovely vase.
Paperweight and chintz china.
Royal Winton Chintz has always been popular.
See the price ticket for the glass paperweight - Jonathan does not over charge for things.
I hope that none of us do.
An interesting selection of "Men at Work" figurines.
The china at the front could be Crown Derby - it is certainly their style.
Quirky bust amongst the white and gold china.
Elegant 1930's figurine and a figure from the Royal Doulton range.
More blue and white.
And just when you think you understand what sort of stock Jonathan has to sell, you can chance upon something completely different.
I think we are all like that - we have a leaning in one direction, but we don't rule out other interesting possibilities.
This is the famous mushroom cruet set by Carlton Ware - 1960s or 1970s.
We will see Jonathan's other area in a few weeks.
Next week I will delve amongst Sue and Brian's stock to share with you.
Next week the clock's go forward an hour and today has been brilliantly sunny in the south of England all day.
Maybe we really have turned away from Winter now - daffodils nod in the breeze everywhere.
The longer days and sunshine will encourage us in the shop to be out finding more for you and of course it will encourage many into the antiques shops of West Street too.
