HEWSON BOOKS
I am also a Co-bookshop owner with my husband. We own two bookshops, with a third shop in the pipeline coming soon. The first bookshop is literally a teal blue wooden cabin in Kew Village, next to the Kew Gardens tube station, called the Kew Bookshop. The second shop is in East Sheen, and called the Sheen Bookshop, opposite Waitrose. We also run a website where you can purchase books online here:-
Vintage Jewellery Fun 
Hi, I cam across your site whilse researching many pieces of costume jewellery we’ve bought over the years. After some 30 year of dealing in fine antique and vintage items, I’m finding the costume market very interesting. Your site is so informative – thank you!
Hi Elaine
I’m so sorry for the late reply – however I’m so glad you find this site of great interest. I have run my Etsy shop since 2014 and find this WordPress blog to be a great accompanying website.
I will be doing articles on the history of most of the big brand names from the 50s and 60s as there is so much knowledge to impart to other sellers and collectors.
Kind regards
Wendy
