Just to
introduce ourselves on ebay we sell any collectables
brought in by locals ( mainly elderly) so our ebay stock may be all
sorts of odd bits plus our prints or items from stock that do not fit
shelves etc .This means that many items are new to sale being in sheds
or garages for years and I try to get the descriptions correct if I do
not know about the object I say as ignorance is always better . All
postage is at cost, which is why it is not normally listed until after
the sale completes, as I caught a cold by some people paying u.k. rates
for the U. S. A. Packaging is recycled covered in brown / kraft paper
and labelled well as it is always nice to receive a parcel even if
purchased by yourself and helping the recycling helps your pocket so
worth it. Additionally I operate a money back guarantee upon receipt of
the goods back if not to standard or as wanted for any reason and do
not hide behind odd names or nom de plumes to sell shoddy or repro
goods.For the prints although we used recycled card everything is well
wrapped with return labels etc. .
.
. . . the shop . . on its own now as the rest of the area is houses but
free parking on the doorstep
.
. . . In the shop we are by trade a map and print specialist from the
wilder parts of Wiltshire (Uk) . We have a considerable stock available
to the trade and private buyers ( one of the larger ones in the country
. . . a natural squirrel here) all with a quick turn around on our
website. This means that we can send items requested by your customers
for them to check normally within the week .
Our
stock ranges from the modern poster to antiquarian prints or maps from
the 16th century. For this there is a return in same condition etc
guarantees . . if the print is wrong or incorrect its cost will be
refunded.. .
Plus
we have a very comprehensive range of furnishings and designer goods (
the ex art training !) from Arts and Crafts period to Deco and 50/70's
Retro specialising in the more useful ie lots of lamps , glass , tables
etc but lacking in dodgy chipped cups and saucers and NO crumb trays or
'faux Victorian vases" and other repro or car boot items. The shop only
has prints and some pics listed online ( after being asked to freight
furniture to the US . . do not even try ) but if anything special is
wanted yell by phone or email as I can send digital pics or if on the
A303 we are about a mile from the road in Tisbury which although a mini
town has a lot going for it from many gastro pubs to a deli/tea shop
open other days on request.Above chief pic packer
. . . . . .the back room
many thousands of prints and engravings Sherpa's and tea/coffee sent
regularly if needed . .
Personally
. . . . .an overworked widowed ex teacher of mainly Art with two
boys a farm
full of waterfowl and poultry and run a few other websites
Direct
email is rosking@freenetname.co.uk . . . . .
.so occasionally life gets manic but then whose life does not . . also
a very sick northern sense of humour and bluntness
beware descriptions if a basket case described as such ! At the moment
not in the market for double glazing salesmen etc due to the loss of
husband then brother and mother is getting frail due to age so
occasionally things go haywire .
yes
always scruffy new stock constantly added
ABOUT
ME . . .Please
understand I am not
glued to my PC. I do have a life . So ask questions ASAP to give me
time to answer them. . . . . I am human,
and being human, I will make the odd mistake. If I do, then all I ask
is that you have a little patience while I sort the problem out. The
only thing it will cost is a little time. I will bear the expense. If
you are wanting an appraisal for insurance or research on an artist or
print normally your time is precious . . . . . so is mine so please do
not send numerous emails asking for a free written valuation for your
insurance company .Telephone or personal queries will be answered
emails asking for written valuations rarely
THE
CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT. . .
. . .Except
when they are abusive, impatient & rude.. . . . . . If you fall
is this category then please do not buy. Also I may be female but can
pack a parcel correctly so please no queries as to competence . . it
tends to get over sellotaped and needs advanced skills to open !
some of the etchings . . the tidiest area of the shop
much of the better stuff does not hit the website so yell if something
special is wanted

Reuse
don't just bin it, could someone else make use of it?
Recycle
Can the materials be made into something new?

Seems
startling but most Antiques and collectables
being preowned are in fact very 'green' and most Antique shops have the
smallest 'Carbon Footprint' of any shop on the High Street with few
toxic chemicals; fewer airmiles etc . Plus the satisfaction of picking
pieces not from clone shops that were made with skill and craftsmanship
from whatever era's design you prefer creating your own environment |
The boss ie me. . try taking pics of
yourself you either look as if you need sectioning or catatonic. . ..
but you may now understand the irreverant descriptions
