What this did give us was an opportunity to go hunting.
But alas our options around Solihull proved fruitless; not a single item of interest spotted anywhere. We'd resigned ourselves to not finding any new ceramics.
What we'd not really counted on was seeing an antiques centre on the way home. It's just on the A452 south of Solihull called the Barn, or something like that. We thought we'd give it a try. I'm kind of glad we did as right inside the door they had a everything for £2 cabinet which had a Bay Keramik vase in it. Not for long.
A further look around the place and I'd added a Scheurich 289-27. Happiness all around and so we headed off for lunch.
Thing is we picked the cafe at Hoar Park craft centre for lunch where there happens to be an antiques centre alongside all the craft shops and so the early afternoon saw the Scheurich's big brother 289-47 tag along for the ride home.
One day off, lots of official stuff done and three more vases. Almost sounds like mixing business with pleasure.
And the vases are pictured below.
