<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The above paintings were done on canvas, which, for me, is not as easy to work with as wood substrate. I find canvas too pliable for my collaging, it moves when i'm working on itand feels sort of unsafe. I do like the finished work but will stick to wood in future.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These were a thank you from gav for a lovely birthday, which was last Saturday. We closed up early and dashed down to The Guildhall in Gloucester to see "Wilko Johnson", supported by "Virgil and the Accelerators" (whom gav's just filmed). Wilko was amazing, i saw him recently at Llangollen Town Hall but I was in so much pain with my poorly back i had to sit at the back through most of the performance, so this time i dosed myself up with painkillers and stood right at the front for the whole performance.....brilliant. We stayed in a 14th Century Inn in the town for the night, which was supposed to be haunted but i didn't see anything worse than a spider!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just back from my hols, proving that you don't have to go too far to simply breathe, relax and enjoy life. I had everything i needed, most importantly the love of my life, then a nice little self catering cottage in a pretty village with a very old traditional foody pub right opposite our front door! Mix in some quiet romantic evenings with nice food, nice wines and morning and afternoon walks along rivers and ancient churches and trips out to the coast - equals the perfect holiday. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I love this, a BT red phone box spotted in amongst the rambling farm buildings from the church, they do get everywhere! This one's pretty neglected but i'd seen another one ealier in the day in someone's front garden being used as a log store! very innovative.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before i went away i purchased this gorgeous victorian quilt from Ebay, it was very cheap but wasn't in fantastic condition, having a huge hole in the middle. However, i had an idea to make some vintage hearts with it to sell in the shop!</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made these in the cottage one rainy late afternoon and once i was over the initial fright of cutting up this gorgeous quilt, it was great fun. I'm no stitcher, but these just need some stuffing, a bit of final stitching and some surface embellishments and i'm sure they'll pass for a bargain in my lovely shop. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The smaller ones are £3.75 each and the slightly larger ones are £4.25 each - they're backed with a gorgeous vintage cream woollen blanket that Gav rescued from a local cafe owner (he actually brought it home for the dog!!) and then i had to rescue it from him.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sunday Morning,I love Sunday mornings, I don't open the shop until twelve, so it's a short day. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I managed to spend Friday in my art room this week finishing off some small pieces of art (ones i'd started about four months ago). I've sold most of what i had in the shop over the last few months with only six pieces left and I desperately needed to stock up.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">HERO to ZERO<br />I was so inspired by everything i saw, i'm hopeless at sewing and could really appreciate all the work that goes into quilt making. There were some amazing artists there using paper and stitch, i discovered the work of <a href="http://www.sredtextiles.co.uk/">Stephanie Redfern</a> and was delighted to find <a href="http://www.janetbolton.com/">Janet Bolton</a> on her stall - I've seen her work in so many books and magazines and saw an exhibition of her work in <a href="http://www.saltsmill.org.uk/">Salts Mill, Bradford</a> a few years ago. There was another artist there who <em><u>had</u></em> been a huge favourite of mine for years. This person (who's name i'm not going to mention here) is an international artist of great renown, i've seen her work in many magazines and she has a huge internet presence and following. I was so excited to find her there as a guest artist, she had quite a large covered area containing her work and i was in my element walking around, especially as she was there working too. I had my camera ready and would have loved a photo for my blog, and looked around for the inevitable "no photography" signs, of which there weren't any, but i still asked, very politely,if i could take a photo - and without even a smile and without looking at me she simply said i was welcome to "buy" a postcard of her work which was as good as a photograph! (hello!!!!). She then went on about how much it cost her to be there (which i did doubt as she was advertised as a "guest artist"). I was slightly taken aback at her incredible lack of people skill, and replied that i already had images of her work from magazines so didn't need a postcard (which were quite expensive anyway), and feeling disinclined to look further i left her to it!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I do understand about copyright and have the greatest respect for all that people do to protect it, but If i was going to copy (which I wasn't by the way) i'd need only to put her name into google for any amount of images i wanted. She's an international, published artist for goodness sake with a huge internet presence. How do people become so precious about what they do and who they are? All i could think was (and this is a bit of a rant) that if being a renowned international artist places your head so far up your backside, then i'd rather do/be something else! So there :p</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway... here's what i started creating after being so inspired by Stephanie Redfern's gorgeous work.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started with a piece of muslin which i gesso'd and then used acrylic paint to stamp on designs with wooden fabric stencils, i then added some random pieces of Liberty lawn fabric pieces i purchased at the show.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now...this has been exciting over the past few weeks! Gav and i have been looking for another property for shop use and have looked at a few in surrounding areas. Commercial properties are very cheap at the moment especially with the demise of the high street, but that doesn't put us off. Here's one we looked at last Monday, it's an old victorian theatre with stage and balconys still in tact and has it's own clock tower! It needs a lot of work, but it's an amazing place.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Blimey, where does time go? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When Gav and i decided to give up our respective jobs and move here to Montgomery and set up our own businesses, i really thought it would be more relaxing, that our lives would move at a slower pace, much slower. Was i just naive in thinking that? Because i've never worked so hard in all my life as i do here! Granted i'm my own boss and no doubt that has it's advantages, but i think it also makes for harder, more intense work because it's for yourself rather than someone else.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's not a whinge about my lifestyle at all, just an observation and despite all the hard work involved i much prefer it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lots of things going on here at both the Armoury and Indigo Moon, our feet don't seem to touch the ground. Except for about an hour after the shop closes and we sit in the garden with a glass of chilled wine!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firstly, this is a piece i've been working on recently, it seems to be taking ages, it's no where near finished and it's all i've done recently too, the shop and the house are taking up all my time at the moment.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We got back late on Sunday, having already planned to open the shop at 1.30pm (instead of 12) and had put a note on the door. Unfortunately, we were later than expected and didn't get back till 2.30pm to find people waiting at the door wanting to buy some things they'd seen the day before. As we were rushing out of the car to open up for them we discovered we were locked out! Nicci had lost her own key for the front door and slid the bolt across and then used the shop key to go out of the shop door to work, thus leaving us completely locked out with customers waiting to get in the shop. However they very kindly and patiently waited whilst gav found his way around the back to retrieve the ladders to climb in through the bathroom window. Turned out to be the best sale of the day!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And gav's next project is to fit the new sink we bought from ikea (like the one in this photo below). We didn't intend too get a sink, but when we saw this one it was perfect. We need new worktops but it's such a time consuming job. Unfortunately the kitchen was a disaster when we moved in, the sink is far too low down and wasn't fitted at an angle so the water could drain out. Also there was no draining area and water soon rotted the top of the wood away behind the tap (due to a leaky tap), it was a mess, and this is a good way to deal with the problem with the least amount of work.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> When that's done i'm going to remove all the doors off the horrible ikea base units and fit skirts (or curtains) like below. I've seen some gorgeous fabric and i have a lot of vintage pieces in my art room so am toying with the ide of making up my own from scraps - but that's just an idea at the moment.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We've had such a nice relaxing few weeks here, despite the initial endless rain and the usual manic house organisation we put ourselves through before we get visitors, however, we reached a calmness that surprised even me and Gav! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We made a decision to halt any further work in the shop as it's now taking up a lot of our time and concentrate on finishing the house. Anyway, i digress, Gav's parents arrived last Monday and we threw ourselves into looking after and entertaining them for the week. Nicci got called into work every day so it entailed some jigging about of the schedule, but we managed to get out a few times. Gav took them off to <a href="http://www.shropshire.gov.uk/countryside.nsf/open/6AAF9B79664EAEB5802574E3003C837E">Ellesmere</a> on the Tuesday where they walked around the mere and had a nice lunch, Wednesday we managed to get to Shrewsbury and looked around the old part of town, including some beautiful stained glass windows in the church. Gav also had an hour in the antiques centre and me and his mum took ourselves off to Waterstones......aaahhh bliss!!! On Friday we went to:</span></div>

He was released in 1942 as a result of the Churchill-Stalin agreement and made his way to England where he trained as a Spitfire Pilot and did reconnaisance work until 1945. He suffered terrible nightmares as a result of his experiences and used painting as a way to exorcise his mind..."</span></div>

I get lovely comments all day long about the shop from our customers, they come from all over the world (i know it's not specifically to come to Indigo Moon, but if they're in the area they find their way here), this week we have our stock making it's way to Australia, Germany, France, Africa, Ireland, California, New York and all sorts of other lovely places as well as lots of places around Britain. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> So it was extra special</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> to find </span><a href="http://www.shoestring-lifestyle.com/1/post/2012/07/late-arrivals.html"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">this blog</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> that mentioned us, i remember the lady telephoning us to ask us to put a sold sign on the cupboard and keeping it for a few weeks, they paid us immediately over the phone, but what they didn't know was that another lady had been in that very morning and was returning with her husband the next day!! She was very disappointed to find it sold, but without a deposit there was nothing i could have done. I'm pleased for the people who bought it, it is nice when something you buy fits so perfectly into the home! Thank you <a href="http://www.shoestring-lifestyle.com/who-are-we.html">Kat and Rich</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yesterday, after a long busy day in the shop and cleaning the house Gav and I set off, around 5.30pm in the middle of a monsoon, for Llangollen, to the Fringe Festival to see Wilko Johnson at the Town Hall. We did it right! By the time we'd got past Welshpool the sky was brighter, the rain had stopped and we looked forward to a nice evening meal and a drink before going on to see the band.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We both love Llangollen, it has some happy memories for us and was one of the first places we looked to set up our business. We got as far as managing to put in an offer on a great property there, but our own sale in Leeds fell through at the same time and by the time we were in a position to look again the sellers had changed their mind. We did look at other properties but they weren't as nice. Anyway Montgomery isn't far away (about 40 mins in the car) so we go there quite often for a night out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our first stop was the Cornmill (right alongside the river) for food:</span></div>

And just as we're recovering from that we have a trip to Harrogate on Sunday for the Gift Show on Monday. My gorgeous girl is coming with us to help us buy, but only on the condition we take her to Betty's!:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before Betty's though it'll be a few hours around the gift show, our main buying spree will be for cards and a few bits of jewellery - that's about all we can manage to look around at the moment, we're exhausted. We'll be able to get there early as we're all staying overnight on the Sunday.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The highlight will be collecting my lovely mother and father (in-law) on Monday who are meeting us at Harrogate to come back to Montgomery for a weeks visit.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">... "The Flowerpot" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">in Derby so gav could recce the band "Virgil and the Accelerators" whom he's filming at their gig in the Marshall Amp factory in Milton Keynes at the end of August. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My gorgeous girl helped with the shop on Friday so we could skive off early. We'd booked into the Jury's hotel for the night (which was conveniently opposite the flowerpot) but had been warned to be there before 6.00pm as the Olympic Torch was going through the centre and the roads were closing. So.....we left at 3pm and thanks to the Sat Nav lady, or maybe it was me programming in "avoid toll roads" that we missed the M6 Toll and found ourselves meandering up through Uttoxeter at 6pm. However, luck seemed to be on our side and just as we thought we were going to have to walk about a mile to the hotel we just managed to whizz down a road that was on the verge of being closed off, spotting the flowerpot and thus the hotel...phew!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After an hours rest and some food we sauntered across to the flowerpot, met up with friends and watched these amazingly 'very young' and extremely talented musicians.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We're quite excited about the few changes we made in the shop this last week. It was done very quickly once we'd made up our minds:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Greetings cards: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> we already do a range of nice greeting cards, but we thought we'd expand the range to cater for a few more people, we sell a lot of what we did have, but we also had a few people saying that we didn't quite have what they wanted.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> We spent most of the week calling around various card suppliers getting stock, i won't go into too much detail but they're a funny bunch. Here we are in a recession, a double dip recession at that, all sorts of financial doom and gloom across the media and they need board meetings before they'll decide whether they'll take your money or not - it's really bizarre. However we did manage to get the few companies we liked on board...and are still waiting for a few others.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> We bought some traditional sweets and some glass jars to put them in, Gav built these shelves and i lined them with a 1890's french newspaper. We still have a bit more work to do on this, but it looks good to start with. We made our own labels for the jars</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.... and printed off some labels to hang on the bag, they looked great in the shop at one pound for a hundred gram bag of sweets of your choice.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">needless to say when i was making up the bags of sweets a few fell to the floor (i'll have to get the hang of it) and this little snaffle hound was there waiting, ready to pounce - she'd just nabbed four fizzy cola bottles here and i had to prise her jaws apart to get them off her - this was me telling her off, her ears go right back when i do that and she always looks to the side as if to say "Who, me...i wouldn;t dare"</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really enjoy making these cards, i've done a few batches now, they look so nice when finished and bundled altogether, so many different colours. I have them strewn out over the counter working on them when we have quiet times and people come into the shop intrigued by what i'm doing, I usually end up explaining the process and doing a demonstration of sorts and getting a few sales!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also did these larger whimsical paintings for cards recently, here are three and i have another seven that i'm working on. These are ready to scan and print onto cards. I have this huge Giclee printer that i haven't had much use out of yet and the plan is to print my own cards from my art work along with some limited edition prints of my collage paintings</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gav and i had an amazing weeks holiday to celebrate (as you know we couldn't go far because of the shop) but my gorgeous girl did a grand job here of holding the fort for us and we managed a week of complete relaxation in luxurious accommodation, with long walks and nice meals, it was just what we needed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was our hotel in Portmierion Village (The Portmeirion Hotel), we had two nights here and the weather was beautiful. There's something really nice about being able to explore the village in the evening once all the visitors had left for the day. We managed to get one of the lookout points to ourselves one evening and took wine, glasses and cheese and crackers to watch the sun set - very romantic!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After Portmeirion we went to Aberdovey overnight, had more long walks along the beach, visited a lovely gallery and looked forward to our evening meal. Didn't manage to take any photographs of Aberdovey as the batteries ran out on my camera.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then we went over to Aberaeron for a few days. I love all the houses here, they're all different colours ranging from Strawberry, raspberry, mint, pale blue, dark blue, orange, red and peach.....no plain whites or even a brick in sight, very colourful. Not much to do at Aberaeron though so we had a day trip out to Cardigan and found a lovely gallery, where i bought a handbag (I know, another one, but Gav offered to buy it and I couldn't refuse......could i?......)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the meantime, Blogger has changed it's look and i've found it the most frustrating thing ever. I'm all for change if it's for progress but come on, saving what i'm writing after every three words is a bit much, it freezes the screen whilst it does this so i spend a lot of time waiting - i'd rather just save it at the end in one go. The new way of doing things is not user friendly i don't know whats going on wit them. Posting on my blog used to be relatively quick, easy and enjoyable and even relaxing (as it should be), i now have to prepare myself for the frustration blogger causes with it's constant, ridiculous and unwelcome changes. </span><br />

Today we're travelling up to Portmeirion and having a few days in the Portmeirion Hotel, nice coffees and walks around the village and through the park. It's very near Criccieth Castle so perhaps a visit there too. I'm just about old enough to remember "the prisoner" of 1960's fame, filmed there.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitAHOlIBYm_5QJHfnt9W0K5fZSy4vPx90hiFZ-A5f0r2b9A9WeI4HFByf8LpTA_c4lcCIfhtqIkITxYzOYL5GZKkilw1veJtvSf254_ol35CIdDecSczlosB79z8LM1xxNQznFM4Cv4B47/s1600/por.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" qda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitAHOlIBYm_5QJHfnt9W0K5fZSy4vPx90hiFZ-A5f0r2b9A9WeI4HFByf8LpTA_c4lcCIfhtqIkITxYzOYL5GZKkilw1veJtvSf254_ol35CIdDecSczlosB79z8LM1xxNQznFM4Cv4B47/s1600/por.jpg" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then...we're back on Friday night as Nicci has an interview on Saturday Morning and we're off again in the afternoon to Aberaeron for a few days as it's our wedding anniversary!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've not had much time to do any creating recently as we've done loads more work on the house. We started on the top floor these last few weeks, there are still a lot of unpacked boxes from when we moved here two and a half years ago so we're busy doing that and getting rid of stuff. The Armoury is looking so much better these days it's been nice to walking around and not tripping over boxes or to have to manouevre your way around dressers and wardrobes in places they have no business being!!!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I've been feeling a tad sorry for myself these last few weeks, i've had chronic back ache which doesn't seem to be getting better, not helped by moving furniture around again, but needs must. This is our new middle floor hallway, finally tidy and free from junk, all around is beginning to feel like a home now. The end room you can see at the bottom of the corridor steps down into what will eventually be our living room and although it's all painted it's still full of junk at the moment. The next door is Nicci's room and the nearest one is the guest bedroom (also full of junk and unpainted). The floor boards here could do with a good polish, they're very old, it's on our "to-do" list.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP97_Cv79bfc5D41UZ4vkpdLrNLpje_pT8HvfPGWCYQ4SkRVmu6DC3N-BwtI0j7D8Y9l-JU_8TOyI8xo-onf4p-1DZq5en5r8jFPfE05L9KxyL1fBcXsuPUjOMLe4SeOVY75lobUO__VkS/s1600/100524_Tina4+072.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP97_Cv79bfc5D41UZ4vkpdLrNLpje_pT8HvfPGWCYQ4SkRVmu6DC3N-BwtI0j7D8Y9l-JU_8TOyI8xo-onf4p-1DZq5en5r8jFPfE05L9KxyL1fBcXsuPUjOMLe4SeOVY75lobUO__VkS/s320/100524_Tina4+072.jpg" uda="true" width="240" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I love these chairs, Gav bought them from an auction last year they have all sorts of scary carved faces over them, very tribal.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin978Dymr7HaM7NGwaZhpV9ADES5kDrzExCOe_0gCtkltbc7olYpuzY4egFk1HqJlg3W3sEceHKbpKevwQKEi3fjiBn564Qr2NASuQwZpM1TOUob8pUPAzWi2vLcnrFXCs3iExwuLj1haK/s1600/100524_Tina4+079a.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="195" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin978Dymr7HaM7NGwaZhpV9ADES5kDrzExCOe_0gCtkltbc7olYpuzY4egFk1HqJlg3W3sEceHKbpKevwQKEi3fjiBn564Qr2NASuQwZpM1TOUob8pUPAzWi2vLcnrFXCs3iExwuLj1haK/s320/100524_Tina4+079a.bmp" uda="true" width="320" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gav was out all day yesterday at an auction in Shrewsbury. Whilst we were sorting out some of the rooms we found boxes and boxes of china tea sets under beds and in cupboards - things we bought to sell in the shop before we opened - we'd forgotten how much we had, so we decided to get rid of most of it and took two, full to the brim, car loads of stuff over to Halls on Monday for the sale yesterday. It all went for a good price, some of it more than we paid for it two years ago, so we were really pleased.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Gav is assembling this shelving in our kitchen at the moment in parts. He bought some old wooden, rustic fruit boxes and had an idea to make new shelving for the shop out of them. We've never been entirely happy with the centre of the shop, but were a bit stumped for ideas as we didn't want to move towards the more commercialised shop fittings and lose the unique "aladdiny cavey" (i know thats not a word, but you know what i mean) feel/look to the shop.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqgENvMwq-cwpwC97KIB6JJy14GQMHvJFcPGDmlFFVPPQtvEilYOLtFLyvA3kT2Sfs1aQc5cZJrqkoSE8Ce2SCccqRE2-UFxuQI1eHBCto-dAUZh3epPYwijuX8epmFyE5fOa_oxjmLDdb/s1600/100524_Tina4+044.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqgENvMwq-cwpwC97KIB6JJy14GQMHvJFcPGDmlFFVPPQtvEilYOLtFLyvA3kT2Sfs1aQc5cZJrqkoSE8Ce2SCccqRE2-UFxuQI1eHBCto-dAUZh3epPYwijuX8epmFyE5fOa_oxjmLDdb/s320/100524_Tina4+044.jpg" uda="true" width="192" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you can see, he's assembled them and used some "1839" chalk paint in various colours to randomly paint/wash over it. He wasn't entirely happy at first but it grew on him. Since taking this photo he's brushed them with an antique brushing wax and you would not believe the difference in the look and colour. The plan is to assemble them over the next 2/3 weeks and fit them on a Monday when we're closed, i think they'll look great.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
