<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 11525957, member: 23"]One of my favorite antique stores in Chatham seems to be under new management. It was a very high-end store for years. We were over there for First Night celebrations yesterday and stopped in. First, I noticed that instead of pre 19th century items, most of what was shown was 1890s-1940s. The tasteful, hand written price tags became big, ugly printed ones and the descriptions were iffy. Here's an example. An open salt in the shape of a Toby jug but the description says, "Blue Willow". The price is ridiculously high and I'm no expert but I am not convinced it's Staffordshire. Very disappointing. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]544318[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
