Arundel Weekend, Creative Writing Workshops, Kempton Antique Fair
Good Morning
from
Arundel Eccentrics Antiques.
Hope you had a great weekend.
Arundel was busy.
The weather warm. It was like summer most days.

| It must be amazing to be up there in the clouds high over Arundel |
We had a weekend event at our warehouse.
" Shop early for Christmas"
It was great.
An excuse to leaflet the town and tell people we are there.
Thanks to all our friends who came to support us.
It was lovely to meet some new people.
Some have lived in Arundel as long as we have.
We had never met before.
You tend to think Arundel is a small town.
Clearly not as small as we thought.
Our warehouse doesn't look much from the outside.
but step inside and you will be amazed at how large it is...................
and the eclectic collection of items we hold..............

strictly speaking we are decorative antiques,
but this time of year we go wild and fill the place with gifts
Here are all the vintage boxes and bowls that I work on.
Some are painted and then decoupaged.
Some decorated with gilt.
watch out for our
Tartan Chests of Drawers.
They are all 19th century chests and hand painted by an artist friend from Arundel.
She is making a fantastic job of them.
We are very excited about them.
Photos to follow very soon.
We are hoping they will be as popular as our
Victorian Bamboo.
Yep these are all sold.
On their way to a new life in the US
Kempton Antiques Fair.
Kempton tomorrow.
Have to rise at silly o'clock.
Have to rise at silly o'clock.
So...its up at 4 am and heading for the m25.
I still can't quite believe I worked nights for 7 years.
Mind you, I was better at staying up all night then rising at daft o'clock.
Doors open 6.30 am.
Then its every man for himself LOL
Its more hectic than Ardingly.
Over and done with in a shorter time I suppose.
Well worth a visit.
I could spend all day there going round and round.
You spot something different every time.
