Went into one of my favourite antique shops in my local town Honiton, Devon yesterday, and saw they had a few shelves to rent. After chatting to the lovely Caroline Bushell who runs this bustling 30 year old centre along with Ann and Phil Barton, I decided to go for it and rent the shelves.

Really excited about being able to show off (and hopefully sell) some of my growing collection in town. Apparently Fountain Antiques has an excellent customer base including celebs like Kirstie Allsopp – who has bought bits and pieces for her latest series Kirstie’s Homemade Homes. They have lots of tourists visiting the shop in the summer and regular clients and local traders all year round. There are thirty different sellers displaying their wares in the store, and there really is something for everyone. From furniture to housewares and retro kitchenalia, vintage pottery, antique jewellery and linens to beautiful art work, woodenware, tools and garden equipment.
I’m off to Exeter boot sale on Sunday to top up my stock and hopefully find some oldy worldy treasures to grace the shelves of The Fountain Antique Centre. Will blog again on the treasures I unearth and must remember to take a photo of the finished shelves in the centre to show you all…wish me luck!

Write up something about yourself here, or even about your site.
