First of all, let me wish you a belated welcome to 2010! January seems to have flown by, but fortunately the winter wonderland weather that caused so much excitement has now receded a bit and we are back to standard UK fare - mud, rain and not much sunshine. Let's hope we don't get a repeat performance until next winter.
On the antique and collectable front, February is a busy month with several major fairs lined up - Newark (4/5 Feb), Derby University (20/21 Feb) and Detling (27/28 Feb) - plus countless smaller, local fairs around the UK.
For those of a romantic bent, Valentine's Day is coming up shortly. Why not treat your Valentine to a unique gift that won't be found on every high street in the land? Our stock can be viewed by price range using our nifty price range pages - just click on the links in the navigation bar near the top of the page.
Finally, do remember that if you are visiting any fairs around the UK this month, we'd love to hear your thoughts on them - just drop us a line. If you are planning to travel any distance, it's also worth checking that the fair is still on - cancellations do sometimes happen, especially at this time of year.
Best wishes,
Perfect Pieces
