Jan and John Maggs Antiques Newsletter
October 2009 
 
POST - ENGLAND ISSUE
 
 FedEx
 
Dear Newsletter Subscriber,
 
We've just returned from an exciting three-week buying trip and vacation in England. We had a wonderful time, and this morning some our most recent finds arrived in Conway.
 
This month's newsletter includes a brief diary of our trip, with about twenty of the several hundred photographs we took. We also have a report on the childish bickering that has gone on for years between the promoters of England's two largest antiques fairs, and we bet that it won't be the same as you read in the trade papers!
 
As we'll be working hard during the next three weeks to get these and dozens of other new acquisitions ready for our opening on November 14 and 15, we'll not list new inventory this month. Instead, we offer images, news, and an idea or two. We hope that's enough.

 Tale of the Trade
 
For as long as we've been going to England, the promoters of the Newark mega-fair and the organizers of Arthur Swallow's fair at nearby Swinderby have waged an intermittent turf war. This year, a series of events changed the ground rules and left many buyers and sellers bewildered and nearly led to the unravelling of the whole fabric. For this tale of testosterone-soaked egos, click HERE.

The Back Page
 
On the shuttle to Heathrow on Saturday morning,
a sign inside the bus caught our fancy.
Perhaps, it was just because we were ready to go home that it seemed so funny;
perhaps not.
