Imagine you cleaned out your shed at home and you wanted to sell all your stuff, well you would probably be Cole's biggest competitor. That's how odd the stuff is. It is kind of like a Car Boot sale stall made into a shop. The funny thing about it though is that I actually quite liked it. I walked in today and had a good old nosey around and It really did feel like I was looking through someone else's stuff which I suppose I was. Everything is very cheap in Coles, think 5 AA batteries for a pound and a bag of clothes pegs for 50p. It is small inside so if there are two grannies in there with their shopping baskets you probably wont fit in. I thought it was quaint and charming and you will get good service from the chap who works there, that's for sure.

They offer well known brands such as Pandora, Michael Kors, Guess, Pilgrim and Thomas Sabo, along with their own range of jewellery. The pieces on offer are stunning and priced competitively. The customer service is fantastic, as when I enquired about a ring I was after and had seen elsewhere, they didn't stock it but were able to get it in for me the following week. Fantastic local business!

The Empathy Creations themselves are all handmade pieces of jewellery from basic costume jewellery right up to really beautiful pieces suitable for a special occasion. they will also sit with you and plan a set to your own liking if you are looking for something they haven't got already. The back of the shop is like a little art gallery displaying pieces of pottery, clocks and paintings by local artists - a fabulous treat right on my doorstep! I couldn't resist buying my nephew a hand crafted jigsaw puzzle for a very decent price. Call in some day - the man behind the counter who makes the pieces is not pushy but very friendly. You will be pleasantly surprised at the treasures in store.

"Errr, not really", came my reply, "But [notices extreme deficit of anything not furniture related] you specialise in furniture?". A nod signified the affirmative, and I continued, "I'm looking more for decorative ornamental pieces..." Which is kinda true. I mean, I certainly don't need any furniture. Heavens, I could just imagine my mum's face when I tell her I've purchased an antique mahogany table, complete with four matching chairs... Having a look around, I discovered there was absolutely no way I could even begin to think about buying anything...this stuff was pricey! I informed Mr Shop Owner that I liked one of the clocks, to which smiled, picked up a business card, and went on my way. Now, I can't deny that my visit had been in complete vain. The address section on the business card read "96 Main Street, Moira, Co. Armagh". Well, I never. I was utterly convinced Moira was in Co. Down. What do you know?

It is in fact, a jewelers. It's just an explosion of gold jewelry, watches, little boxes and various antiques which is a lot for the eye to take in. From venturing into this 2nd hand shop I can only assume that they will buy absolutely anything, anyone's selling. It's run by a strange looking man who just smiles as you walk in. It's quite small so you always feel like he's looking at you as you wonder round trying to find a little hidden gem among the mass of items spread out over 4 glass counters. If you're in the mood for a hunt around for something unusual then this is the place to go.

The sign says Agar Antiques, but the business cards in the downstairs room say Drummondreid, as does the opening hours sign on the window. Then there's an A board on the pavement saying 'Town and Country Antiques Upstairs', with different opening hours. Argh, I haven't a clue what's happening. What I do know is that the downstairs section of this antique shop is like an Aladdin's Cave, overflowing with the most delightful vintage furniture (there are genuine sofas from dear only knows when, which have become a bit battered and worn, plus more plush chaise longues, beautiful tables, lighting and that sort of thing), as well as accessories (those giant antlers seemed to all the rage at one stage), a few pieces of jewellery, figurines and ornaments. There was even a fur coat lying on a one of the chairs...I didn't check if it was genuine or not. The little business card (under the name Drummondreid) informed me that they do furniture restoration too, which is pretty cool. I'm all into reusing things, and I do love old knick knacks, so that may come in handy at some stage. Despite the name confusion, I absolutely loved this wonderful antiques shop (minus the fur coat...)

Thy have a huge rang of vintage items set outside the store, this is what actually caught my attention. It's a bit like an upmarket car boot sale. There didn't really seem to be a theme to the items. There was a mix of furniture, household decorations and general bric-a-brac. I loved it - there is something really exciting about sifting through all their products. Almost like a treasure hunt. Antiques collectors would love this place. It also had a range of vintage camera equipment that was behind lock and key. Upstairs houses more modern handmade gifts, cards and part accessories. If you want a unique gift for a loved one or are decorating your home and want something a little different look no further than The Cove! Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Recently we went back to pick a wedding ring and there was a very funny moment when I was down on my hands and knees looking at the bottom shelf. The owner walked past the counter and started apologising. We later found out that he thought from my poise that I was proposing! I got my wedding ring here as well and it was at least £300 pounds cheaper than elsewhere! Highly, highly, highly recommend Ellison Brothers.
