Woop Woop Woooooop - Van Back on the road!!..

Hello all, just dropping this onto the blog to let you know we now have a van back on the road, that will be available for collections from Monday.. (All be it a pimped out version of the one that is in the garage still)... and possibly we may not have got the writing off it as its all over the shop!!, I may give it the shabby chic look.. i honestly wish i could.. just a pot of farrow and balls bit of wire wool and it would look fab!!.. hmmmm I think our proffessional car sprayer neighbour in Alspray may have a word or two to comment about that!!..

Thanks to Millers auction house we have secured a cheap but fingers crossed reliable van to get back out there. (I think the autioneer thought i was mad bidding on a van i hadnt seen!!!).. and maybe i was.. impulse!!.. had a feeling about it ;-).. may all go wrong.. i seriously have no luck with vans!!

Its sadly been 3 months now that we have been stuck without a van as the old one was being fitted with a new engine!!.. we were told it will be finished next week, but have heard this for months, arghhhh, not only the engine but then a gear box, then a clutch!!.. where does it stop??... so crazily i was viewing furniture at the local auction and just as i was one minute bidding on a sweet little sewing box going at a bargin price of £5.. it was fab so in need of TLC and some refunking.. I found out there was a van being auctioned off!!.. NEXT!!

All hammer and tongs as you do in a auction.. possibly slightly carried away with it, still thinking i was bidding on a £3 shelf!! the price went down too £100 i Bidded!!.. and i bidded again.. just like furniture i have bought in the past!! I couldnt stop!!.. I decided I wanted it!!

Oh MY!!... the other bidder stopped!!!!.. Sooo we are now back on the road :-),

Collections / Deliveries you name it we can help out. dont forget we do have a few things we just dont have room for.. those bizzare creations Wall Units!!, and sadly sofas & armchairs....

Armchairs Pre 1950 I do have a market for if anyone is having trouble finding a home for them.. I have a list of people willing to take them to re-upholster. (infact ill do a seperate blog for that). we will seriously make very few pennies.. but any upholsterers that do take them we always ask for a picture to add to the blog. it seems battered, torn, ripped or with no springs you name it they want it, (but want it for nothing) - fair enough I say, if your going to spend that long on a piece you need the piece cheap, I have an arm full of upholsterers after them. Just let us know.

So...

Collections.. give us a shout, and ill squeeze you in. Hard wood is the best, as we can refurbish it in someway.. paint it, sand it, oil it, clean it, dop it, strip it, wax it, stress it... anything else we will do our best.
