@AntiqueRoadTrip @natasharadio That was a cracking find!

[GreenManCollectables @gmcollectables]

@StephConnellArt A part of the country that I have never properly visited, apart from a few brief work trips. Hoping to right that wrong in 2023. Happy new year!

Just found this Weekly Menu in a Victorian ladies magazine called Home Chat. The writers helpfully put it together to help tired housekeepers so their employers were adequately fed each day. We thought we'd share it in case your housekeeper is tired too. No need to thank us...

Good to see these little guys, who we sold at Oswestry Antiques Fair making another appearance in the @BBCBargainHunt compilation today. Suzy & Matt in the red team with their expert @thekatebliss were great fun to meet!

@sammwittings @Peston Imaginary friends and supporters!

@BBCBargainHunt @BBCOne We just sold this lovely pair of Lincoln Imp candlesticks from our online shop, only minutes after Nick Hall's Lincoln Imp had been sold on the programme. Surprising how often that happens. @BBCBargainHunt is good for business! 😆

@LewisCapaldi And to think you were a #LibDem singer back then...where did it all go wrong? 😄

@HansonsAuctions Ming dynasty picnic plates on the bottom shelf? 😁

[GreenManCollectables @gmcollectables]

@PhilipSerrell @CTrevanion @HansonsAuctions A group full of real characters. We are definitely up for seeing that!

@StephConnellArt @Raj_Bisram @BBCBargainHunt Keeping cool for the cameras must have been challenging, today!

[GreenManCollectables @gmcollectables]

@BBCBargainHunt @CTrevanion @thekatebliss @iplauctioneer @BBCOne Good programme today. The woodcarver's work was stunning and we got to see the vintage horse racing game that we were selling there. Blues missed a bargain! 😄

Newly listed, these rare rather scary looking Staffordshire Lions, by Sadler of Burslem. Harder to find than the ubiquitous Staffordshire Dogs, these would grace any hearth (even though they look like need work with their dental hygiene!)

Fabulous piece of vintage theatrical costume! Charles H Fox gypsy style dress. Early 1900s, possibly earlier. Still very wearable.

A nice selection of vintage and retro glassware, and even a Moet & Chandon Ice Bucket, soon to be added to our eBay shop. Ideal for serving your chilled drinks on warm summer days. Cheers!

@hawley_caroline @BBCBargainHunt Congratulations and nicely done! We seem to have followed in your footsteps, buying (and re-selling) the lovely curved iron greenhouse brackets which featured in your intro piece and visiting Cosford for the air show, just a couple of weeks ago. I even photographed that Spitfire!

[GreenManCollectables @gmcollectables]

@izziebalmer720 Not sure about these but, if you really fancy growing some and have a suitable space in your garden, there was an interesting piece about creating your own mushroom bed, on BBC Gardeners World, last Friday!

A new Antiques & Collectors Fayre at Montgomery Town Hall over the Easter weekend. Come and say hello and maybe find a few treasures or bargains!

@CTrevanion @JaneFMackenzie Oh dear. 😄 But having recently briefly met Christina at an Antiques Fair, we can confirm that she is just as personable away from the cameras as on them! 😁

I think @BBCBargainHunt will survive the loss of that viewer...

[GreenManCollectables @gmcollectables]

@CTrevanion @W_K_Restoration The last time I visited Stafford Castle was to watch an open air performance of Henry V and the heavens opened, just like at Agincourt. Hope you get better weather today!☀️
