June 2023 Round-Up

June 2023 Round-Up

The weathers got a lot warmer, summer is now finally here and we're thoroughly enjoying it! 

We've been to a number of fairs and auctions this month, and one of our wonderful finds was a fabulous collection of Royal Doulton 'Brambly Hedge'. In case you didn't know, 'Brambly Hedge' was originally a set of four childrens books by author and illustrator, Jill Barklem, about a community of mice who live in Brambly Hedge, a place based on Jill's birthplace of Epping, Essex. These books gained a huge following, and more soon followed. Due to the popularity of the characters & quintessential Englishness of the stories, a wide variety of collectables were manufactured, predominantly by Royal Doulton, which are still just as popular today

 

Same Service - New Look!

We also unveiled a new look website towards the end of the month, with some upgrades and improvements to make searching for what you're looking for easier.

  • There's a new 'Search For Me' function for every out of stock product, where you can now let us know how many of the items you need, and also now include your telephone number as well
  • If you are looking for items in a pattern where you do not know the name, or are unsure of what it may be, we've also included a feature on our 'Find It For Me Page' where you can now upload up to four pictures of the required item/s to help us identify, and search for it for you
  • If you are looking to sell to us, if you wish, you are now able to also include up to six pictures of your set. This is very helpful for our purchasing team, especially when there is a variation of more unusual items
