BACK TO LIFE!

January is always a bit of a slow month, but things are starting to spring into life.

Car boots are a good way of getting back into the swing of things, and also the fantastic Giant Shepton Flea is starting again as well.

 

 

Have done a huge amount of sorting out at ArtPix Towers over the last month, which included sifting through lots of new and old stock.

Have been reluctant to buy too much new stock, as I have a lot I haven't shown yet, but as always, I end up buying something!


The winter months also mean I can rarely get out into my yard and work on restoring or upcycling any furniture, but I did start on a lovely old carved wooden bookshelf that I bought recently.

Have some fantastic Mid-Century pieces that need a bit of attention as well, and will be out on sale as soon as I can work on them.


Hoping to do another Mid-Century fair this year, as I've stockpiled quite a lot of items that would look fantastic at one of these specialist fairs.

Had a great success at Bristol a couple of years ago, so I'm keen to get back into them.


Carry on following this Blog, as I'm hoping to keep it more updated this year.

Or alternatively have a peep at my Instagram page, as that has daily posts on there.


Bye for now!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

Well, here we are at the start of 2025, and fingers crossed it'll be a brilliant year!!!


I'll be honest, 2024 was awful....

A series of not brilliant things, plus a family bereavement, made it a year to forget.


But onwards and upwards we go!

I'm once again hoping to update this Blog a bit more often, as looking at the stats, it get a huge amount of views.

So thank you to everyone who has a peep at this page, and takes the time to read it, much appreciated!

This is especially surprising these days when the reading Blogs is a dying art!

 

My main online activity now is just a daily post on Instagram, so if you happen to find yourself on there, have a look at my page!


I still trawl around doing vintage markets selling all sorts of vintage treasures.

My tastes often change, so it reflects in the stock I sell, but you can always find bits of Mid-Century, books, ephemera, football stuff, salvage, furniture and anything else.

 

I also restore and upcycle many vintage furniture pieces, plus with my background in graphic design, I do artwork collages and design work.

Have a few artworks on the go at the moment, so hopefully, as the weather is awful at the moment, I can finish these soon!

 

So keep in touch on here (and Instagram) and maybe see you at a market one day!!
