This is a second hand/antique shop, named for my wonderful dog, Norbert. Gone but never forgotten. Everything is handmade, naturally.

|
|
The view through the stained glass door.

|
Suitably cluttered!

|
A little bit of everything one could need to furnish a home, from an upright piano to a croquet set. Or maybe a spinningwheel for the parlour, Madam?

|
Pictures for your walls, lamps, books and ornaments.....

|
From here on are the separate items I have made specially for this shop. |
|
I'm very pleased how this chest of drawers stained antique pine has turned out.

|
|
I've been itching to make an old school desk like this for ages. It closely resembles the ones I sat at in junior school. This shop has given me the excuse to make lots of things that won't fit in to an ordinary shop or room.

|
|
Another example of something I longed to make but had nowhere to put it.

|
|
A cork-topped Lloyd-loom bathroom clothes bin.

|
|
Tea, anyone?

|
|
The boxed set of croquet equipment. Would take 2 people to cart it about, I think.

|
|
A bedroom washstand which I would normally never get the chance to make as I don't fancy making a bedroom. Maybe I'll get the urge one day.

|
|
A kitchen table almost exactly like the one in my own real kitchen. With a coal box and a writing box.

|
|
The piano and stool. The stool opens and is full of music for the lucky customer.

|
|
A nice clear stained desk. I was very pleased at how this turned out. Perhaps the knobs are a little chunky though. Those top drawers are very small.

|
|
Not too happy with this though.

|
|
A cricket set - stumps and bails, balls, bat and pads, in a faux leather holdall.

|
|
A pouffe and umbrella/walkingstick stand.

|
|
A side table with a gong (minus bonger) and some ornaments.

|
|
Mirrored hall stand.

|
|
Blanket box/ottoman with "bamboo" trim and a wine table.

|
|
Either a modern sideboard or the bottom half of a kitchen dresser (hutch).

|
|
Shelves with books and magazines for sale.

|
|
A coffee table with a box of books to sit out on the pavement.

|
|
Please, take a seat.....

|
|
Copied from a xmas bag printie in a magazine. Shown WAY more than life size. It looks better real size!

|
|
I hide this at the back of the shop on the side wall (hence the funny angle) to make it harder to see!

|
|
I just love peel-offs!

|
|
Whose family, I wonder?

|
|
Another one best hidden at the back!

|
|
They get worse, not better!

|
|
Very elegant ladies.

|
|
And a final one of the whole kit and caboodle.
