ANTIQUES AND THE JOYS OF ONLINE BANKING

The sun has been shining for days and in England it doesn't rain any more. For the small business in this digital age good weather is a help and we have had more people in the shop.............but not for long as the King's Road is about to be dug up from the middle of April until the end of June. It seems that we will be marooned in an island of solid traffic so one naturally turns to the digital world for communication.

This morning my illustrious bank bought in a new "improved" online service, oh dear.........it doesn't work! Nor is expected to work today..........the old system is gone the new is not there. So forget the money side of things and enjoy the weather!

We do however have new stock arriving. We have the most fabulous early 18th century Beauvais tapestry. Almost 11 foot wide and over 6 foot high with good colours and in perfect condition.

Meanwhile in the country it has been so warm that everything is in advance and our geese are now sitting on their nest on the island and the barn owls have laid the first egg.

LARGE PICTURES MONSTERS AND OTHER THINGS.............

One of the largest pictures I have ever bought is finally about to get to the shop, a wonderful landscape in an amazing gilt frame,

Including the frame you need a pretty large room 6'7" high by a massive 11'9" wide or as we in Europe say 202 x 343 cm!

Paintings seem to be what I am buying at the moment soon to come are a couple of wonderful 19th century canvases one of a vegetarians nightmare,  the other of a magpie eating a camembert cheese

 

All of these paintings will be added to JULIA BOSTON  soon

In the meantime I have added a series of monsters to the 

children's name picture characters, brightly coloured and fun for kids they have joined the mice, clowns and dogs....
