Today's work at Pilgrim Antiques, Dorking.
The pram had disappeared and babies were strewn everywhere!
That was the scene that greeted me at the shop this morning.
First I gathered up the dolls and made them more comfortable.
After a cup of tea I set to work to reorganise where the twin doll's pram had been.
Now that doesn't look like too much work, does it?
I moved the 1950's domino stool to the gap where the pram had been and re-arranged a bit.
I spent the next 2 hours re-arranging - more than just the dolls of course.
The coal scuttle took pride of place on the kitchen table.
More kitchen things.
Not what you might expect of a Clarice Cliff platter.
But it is CC.
The shape is very 1930s.
I seem to have acquired novelty teapots of late. They are all well known makes and have some age to them. The cockerel is 1930s.
I spent much of the afternoon re-pricing things that I have had for too long - including most of these ornaments.
Then I was pleased with my day's work.
Sales have been fair today.......4 things for me.
Bill copes fine with single sales; I do keep an eye on things and go to help when things might be a bit more complicated.
I especially want to be alongside him when people want to sell things to us.
The weather has been poor.....wet and temperatures quite low.
But I have felt happy.
