Happy Monday one and all!  It's that time again...!

Some of you will already know that, after the success of reuniting a family with their mother's World War 2 air raid identity bracelet a month or so ago, I was sent another bracelet by someone who had seen the last story.  They asked if I could help reunite this bracelet with its family.  So, of course, I agreed.

This week's blog post is dedicated to my search for the family of Grace Wilson and how, through the power of sharing and caring, we managed to track down Grace's closest living relatives and return the bracelet to where it belongs.

So, as always, get yoursel' a brew and settle in for this weeks story...

Hello one and all!  Thank you for joining me once again for my Monday blog post!

This week I had the pleasure of chatting to Isabel Balmer, whom some of you will recognise from popular BBC antiques show, 'The Antiques Roadtrip'.  Not only that, Isabel is an auctioneer at Wessex Auction Rooms in Wiltshire, so I'm sure some of you will also recognise her from there.

It's another good one!  So go that kettle on, settle in and let's see how Isabel got into the trade and what catches her eye in the world of antiques...

Hello one and all!  It's Monday again and you know what that means!

If you've been following my blog, you'll know by now that I've been catching up with industry legends to find out how they got into the trade, about their favourite finds and their biggest regrets, and to get some advice for myself and for anyone else thinking of getting into the trade.  These short interviews will continue to come out over the course of the next few months, depending on who I can persuade to take part.

This week I had the pleasure of chatting to Hoof Brocante's very own Adi Higham, whom some of you will also recognise from new BBC1 antiques show, 'The Bidding Room'.

Now, here's a fun fact for you.  I actually appeared on the first series of 'The Bidding Room' and Adi bought my item! If you're interested, you can read more about my TV appearance here.  Enough of these shameless plugs...! Let's get down to business!  Get that kettle on and let's find out about what tickles Adi's fancy in the world of antiques...

Hello there and happy Monday to you all!

If you're a frequent flier with Source Vintage, then you'll know by now that I have been busy approaching industry legends for advice on the antiques trade. I have been finding out how they got into the trade, their favourite finds and their biggest regrets, and there are some words of advice for anyone thinking of getting into the trade.  These little interviews have and will continue to come out over the course of the next few months, depending on who I can persuade to take part.

So far we've chatted to 'Dickinson's Real Deal's' very own Tim Hogarth and 'The Urban Vintage Affair' and 'The Bidding Room's' Natasha Francis.  So, remember to follow me on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter (or even better, all three!), to be notified of my new posts.

This week I was lucky enough to chat to the delightful and ever so charming Gary Pe from popular BBC antiques show, 'Bargain Hunt'. So, as always, get that kettle on and let's find out about Gary and his love of antiques...
