This week we will climb the three stairs to Room 2.
This small room is crammed full of such a wide variety of things that it would be hard to take it all in during one visit - except that our eyes are always drawn to study the things that really attract us and we only glance at the things that don't interest us.
This is what makes an antiques centre so worthwhile. Each person trading displays their differing interests, making separate parts of the shop attractive to the range of customers coming through the door.
This week we will look at the displays created by Julie and Gill who have cabinets and shelves alongside each other.
Julie has a wide variety of stock, from interesting small antique items, linen and lace to good value attractive bric a brac.
She comes into the shop regularly on Monday - from about half past ten until 3 o'clock.
Gill specialises in glass - named glass from various eras.
She is in the shop on some Saturday's - alternate Saturdays.
This is part of Julie's area showing the linen and lace, which she takes great pride in.
Sometimes she has beautiful cushions and sweet selling lavender bags that are hand sewn by her skilled French hands.
I am sure she has a sewing box at home.
Here is one for another sewing enthusiast.
A set of very reasonably priced Stewart crystal wine glasses from Gill.
Biscuit jar and vase.
Wonderful crystal small tumblers. 
In Julie's cabinet.
All sorts of bits and pieces in one of Julie's small cabinets.
Art nouveau tray - or just a wooden piece of art for the wall.
Looking back from below the steps into Room 3 to Gill's glass and Julie's all sorts.

I really loved to get them out of the cabinet and handle them.
Julie has some small silver or silver plate items.
A pin cushion and a card case from Julie's cabinet.

There will be no Pilgrims Antiques blog next week.
I shall be in the shop on Monday; but I have other commitments for the rest of the week and will not be able to do things at the computer.
The following week we will begin to see what Jonathan has for you.
