This weekend I took a delightful little tour around some spots I’ve recently found or heard about with my friend Cassie of Olive Owl Art<\/a>. If it’s a rainy Saturday afternoon- antiquing-snoop around in NI you’re after, this is your guide!<\/p>\n

First up, a real treat, recently popped up in Belfast City centre – Drummond Reid, just off of the Ormeau Road on Sunnyside St. They have moved in from Saintfield in the last number of months, and I’m glad they did! You’ll find a really broad range of items from classic to shabby chic to funky retro if\u00a0 one may describe ‘antiques’ as such! They have caught the vision for the current rage on mid century furnishings and have some fab examples..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The owner hard at work, and delighted to tell you anything you need to know!<\/p><\/div>\n

The owner was full of facts about his stock, and happy to share them. Nice to meet you!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Moooom, not more!<\/p><\/div>\n

Next we popped in to ‘Smithfield Market’ out the back of Castlecourt. I wouldn’t plan a trip downtown just for this, but if you are in the area, nip in and take it in, it’s a bizarre few aisles of shops\/units. The antique shop is possibly too much for even Mary Queen of Shops to organise, but is worth a dig. However, everything I wanted the owner seemed to want too, and there isn’t much room to browse, think this one is for collectors who really know what they’re after!<\/p>\n

We picked up a flyer that day for a Collectibles and antique fair on the Lisburn road, which it appears is on every second Saturday here<\/a>. So we mooched on over. It was a few tables in a hall affair, and well worth the look. Its amazing how many collectors\/dealers there are out there, and in this kind of setting the prices are still reasonable.<\/p>\n

I got this great, and very official ‘Miller’s’ guide for \u00a32 so I can at least own pictures of 50’s items, if I cant fit them in my home!<\/p>\n

Here’s a good link to a\u00a0 guide<\/a> to some other places if you’ve still got the energy!<\/p>\n

And I’m excited to find MKVintageUSA who I mentioned in my last post will be at this fair in Newtownards<\/a> this weekend.. maybe see you there!<\/p>\n

Someone who knows*, tells me Ballinderry Antiques<\/a> is worth a look too, want to come?<\/p>\n

*This person shall remain nameless as he’s meant to be on Ivan’s side!<\/p>\n
