There’s been a French antique/craft market in Abingdon this weekend. I wondered if it would lure people away from Art & Stuff, but in fact I managed to sell a rather fetching Victorian hat box to one of the French traders! I like to think it was my (perhaps less than) expert French which helped to swing it! He had been into the shop on Friday and we had been discussing a rather fine French cold cast bronze I have in the shop. Explaining the niceties of cold casting in French was a bit of a challenge!! Anyway, I hope they come back to further my international trade…
