Ahoy there!  Welcome back to 'Blog Post Monday'!

This week's post is about a fascinating piece of social history, if more than a bit macabre!  A tragic tale of robbery, murder, blame and consequently, the last person to be publicly executed in Bedfordshire!

Have I got your attention...?

Well then, get that kettle on and have a clean pair of pants to hand, as we take a look at the tragic story of William Worsley, the last person to be publicly hanged in Bedfordshire...

Ahoy there folks!  Welcome to this week's instalment of 'Blog Post Monday'.

This week I'm dedicating my post to one of my favourite recent finds.  As you may well know by now, I have a particular fascination with folk art and creations made throughout history by untrained artists.  Created only from materials available to them, each piece offers an insight into the feelings and emotions of the creator at the time, and tells a very personal story.  But it's not just about the exceptional artistic talent behind these pieces, it's about the significant social and historical importance of them too.

So, as always, get that kettle on and bring with it your very best bedside manner, as we take a look at the fascinating world of military 'Convalescent Art'...

Hello again!  Welcome to this week's instalment of 'Blog Post Monday'.

As some of you will know, I've been sat on some rather exciting news this week and it's taken every ounce of my strength not to leak any details.  I thought I'd save the big reveal for today's blog post.

So, as always, get that kettle on and have some clean underwear close to hand, as I reveal to you possibly the greatest news that, quite frankly, there could ever be... Well, if you're a fan of Source Vintage Antiques that is...

Welcome to this week's instalment of 'Blog Post Monday'.

I saw a video on TikTok this week that has ended up going viral.  It was about a fascinating find that someone had online, but when they received it, they got far more than they'd bargained for...  Speculation about who had once owned this piece spread like wildfire, thus, the subject of this week's blog post was born.

So, as always, get that kettle on and those of a nervous disposition should probably look away, as we discuss some of our spookiest and most disturbing antique finds...
