I'm about to catch up and maybe have a little break. Boy, am I tired! But I don't mind at all, the shop has been very busy all year and for that I am actually very grateful. I've had many interesting pieces come in this year and have definitely had to brush up on some neglected skills! Many new photos coming soon but for now a little ancient ditty for those who have recently asked me about how often to wax their furniture.  Take a tip from the old English craftsmen:

Wax once a day for a week,
Once a week for a month,
Once a month for a year,
And once a year for life.
