Herrods is over for another year, it's door has closed for the final time.


Thanks to everyone that visited the best (and probably only) art junk shop of 2013. Whether you were appalled, amused, intrigued, disinterested or amazed? always remember the Herrods motto 'Melius mihi hedum potest pingere' (bearing in mind the Herrods copywriter doesn't know the first thing about Latin).


Much gratitude has to go to Dave at Junk&Gems as well, for his leap of faith, sense of humour and hard work.


Here's a few photos of the final days...


Neogeometrist Carl Cashman's hand painted vase sold before it was even on it's display plinth. Watch out for him in 2014, he's got a full year planned with several group shows and a solo show in the US.

Carrie Reichardt, the self-proclaimed renegade potter, was a hot seller this year. And with her exhibiting at the V&A in 2014 she's giving those Romans a good run for their mosaic money.

Didn't want to disappoint... the official Herrods seedy sweat shop just delivered some samples.

No mugs I'm afraid, apart from me, but here's one I produced to celebrate Queenies Diamond Jubilee.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money
