Framing workshop for sale (norfolk)

Post by gesso »

After years of deliberation I've finally took the decision to sell my existing operation and move into manufacturing hand finished mouldings.
For years I've been asked to create finishes to order and now I 'm going to see if the idea floats.
If it doesn't then at least I won't have to frame another badly made embroidery again :clap:

So anyone looking to start up shop in the Norwich area here's your chance.

I've not been on this forum long but realise that you are one of the stalwarts upon which forums like this depend.
Hope you will keep posting.
good luck with your sale.

Peter,
thanks for your kind words but I'm probably more a 'wart' than a stalwart.

Beekeeping! thinking of taking that up myself.

If you do, go on a course first to learn the basics.
Problem this year is getting bees - no on has any spare.

They were talking about bees on Radio 4 this morning. Seems the govt has finally realised there's an economic dimension to a lack of bees and has allocated some money for research into why bees are disappearing.

A framing workshop for £4000 sounds like a bargain.

If you'd throw in living accommodation with that I'd be really tempted. :lol:

But there's be less rain and fewer midges!

One camp bed would be a little crowded as I'd be bringing two dogs, two donkeys and a wife.

They collect nectar, pollen and propolis - all from plants. Perhaps one of these items in the soil?
Are you sure they are honeybees?
Have heard of "mining" bees that seal their nests with soil, but I thought these were solitary.
