Hello,
Spring is upon us, the season of re-birth, one of my favorite times of the year, and it is certainly easy to understand why. The earth comes back to life after a long cold winter, and first flowers begin to bloom and the colour begins to return after its winter slumber.
Spring is also a favorite time for home improvement projects that could not go forward while the weather was too cold. Whether it is a small decorating project like installing new light fittings or a large project like adding a new room, the spring is one of the best times to work at improving the value and livability of the home. In the spring, the weather is neither too hot nor too cold, and the home decorator has plenty of daylight in which to work.
It is no wonder that the spring season is one of the busiest for antique dealers, notwithstanding that the biggest fair of the year also takes place in September, in Sydney at Royal Randwick.

The world of antiques can be fascinating and beautiful, but confusing and when listening to people with years of experience you may think they are talking in a foreign language. If you want to get ahead in the world of antiques then you need to understand what others are talking about, so here are a couple of technical jargon terms explained in doggie language.
The term antique can be confusing to start with, traditionally, an item is classed as antique if it is 100 years or older, however in some cases an item can be considered antique if it is fifty years or more.
Firing cracks is a term that is used in the collection of pottery, this occurs during the baking of the pot in the kiln and it is not actually classed as damage.
See you soon, at the new showroom where I will be waiting to greet you once again …
See you in the showroom soon! Cossie.
