Second Childhood......




Cow & Ghost have just returned from a very enjoyable trip to Devon. Lots to see, lots to do and lots to eat. 

We particularly recommend Exeter and its beautiful cathedral and a visit to Sidmouth is a 'must'. It's like towns used to be. A huge selection of independent shops

We also visited the National Trust's 'Coleton Fishacre'. Formerly home to the D'Oyly Carte family, it is an 1920's arts and crafts gem. As you can see in the photos, it is also very 'hands on'.







The trip gave us plenty of opportunities for stock hunting. We've been able to gather quite a treasure trove for upcoming fairs and events. Among jewellery and china, we've gathered quite a collection of toys and games. All from different sources.















Our particular favourite however is this vintage 'Cluedo' set. Hardly - if ever - played. Totally complete and in spotless condition.




An extra piece of nostalgia is the original shop stock label on the side of the box. 'Harrods'. Nothing but the best for Cow & Ghost.
