I’m opening a shop!

Mr Robertson begs to intimate

I have always wanted to have a shop.

One of my dreams is to have a shop that sells a mixture of antiques, ephemera and good stationery. When you walk into this dream shop you’d say, “how long have you been here, it must be a hundred years”. There would be mahogany fitted cabinets with brass fittings, printed papers to wrap things in and of course a tuneful bell on the door. My newspaper advertisements would begin as many 19^th century ads began, Mr Robertson ‘begs to intimate’.

Obviously my main shop inspo is of course the holy temple that was Cockle Cowe’s

My shop would be called ‘Randy for Antique’ - stealing the line from Philip Larkin’s poem ‘Church Going’. The line is proceeded by the equally brilliant description ‘ruin bibber’. I digress...

I’m not quite at the stage of a permanent shop yet but from 10^th to 20^th June I’m opening a pop-up antique shop in Bridge Street in Berwick-upon-Tweed.

54 Bridge Street (the shop I’m using) back in the 1960s

I’ve been having serious clear-out of my store, house and studio and very excited to see it all gathered together in a shop.

There’ll be furniture, antiques, pictures, books, ephemera and other bits and bobs. Follow me on instagram to keep up to date with whats heading for the shop!

My shop will be at 54 Bridge Street, Berwick-upon-Tweed, TD15 1AQ and will be open Wednesday 10^th – Saturday 13^th and from Wednesday 17^th – Saturday 20^th June from 10am to 4pm.
