A few words about past tours...
England
Most of us have heard of the famous antique fairs in England - Swinderby and Newark
The name has changed for Swinderby (now the Lincoln Home & Antiques Show) but nothing else. We still found dealers from Europe including, France, Italy, Scandinavia, German, Belgium and the Neatherlands just to name a few! And the variety of antiques is outstanding. Although the USD isn't as strong against the British Pound, we were able to find unique items that can only come from Europe. To quote one dealer on the tour "it's not hard finding the items to buy - it's deciding which ones to buy"
Northern Enlgand Shopping
It's true that the further you go from London the better the prices you'll find. This is especially true in Lancashire and Yorkshire. Over the years, we've developed relationships with large and small dealers in these areas. They carry an array of antiques from period pieces to architectural and salvage to shabby chic and everything in between.
Horncastle and Hemswell Antique Centre
Taking advantage of our relationships with Antique shops, the group was able to "load up at Hemswell Antique Centre as well as spending a day in the historical town of Horncastle. We descended upon one shop in Horncastle and kept the dealers running. We found we were quickly going to run out of space in the van and had to call for reinforcements - Steve, our shipping guru! .
