Opening of my Unit at Bocking Antiques Centre

So big jump of the high board for me this last week. I took the plunge and opened a unit at Bocking Antique Centre in Braintree Essex.

Really friendly people and a nice mix of Traditional Antiques, Collectibles and Vintage goods.



So here we have a selection of my work from the past two years. Plus a lot of vintage linen, fabrics, buttons, pots, toys, oh so many things I have loved finding.


 From Mannequins to cushions to painted furniture.


My little WW11 cabinet is now displaying my collection of vintage toys.


The last two Diva girls are lounging around on the vintage fabric cushions.


It is amazing how working steadily can produce such a lot of product! I still have loads more at home, but it is looking a little bit empty here now.


Within two days I had sold this fab table. So I am really pleased I took the plunge.

Now I'm going to make a cuppa and wait for Handmade Harbour to open.
