21st. Dec. 2021

Yesterday was the last day to post, in time for Christmas to our online customers . Of course we are still open in the actual shop , up until 2pm Christmas eve anyhow. If you still want to order something online, of course it will still be posted asap. Also if your in Thanet , delivery can still be arranged. We are open again Wednesday 29th at 10am-4pm.

What a Fab first year it’s been, even with being closed for four months with lockdown. Let’s hope it doesn’t happen again. Looking forward to next year, seeing you again if you’ve been in, or hearing from you online and meeting new visitors of course. 2022 looks exciting ahead, lots more new lines to come, in the ever expanding shop.

So to all our customers past and future, friends and families, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. Love , Peace & Joy From Richard & Jo @ Then….

7th Dec. 2021. For all customers ordering online for possible Christmas presents, please note the the Post Office/ Royal Mail have advised, that the last day for deliveries, to arrive in time for Christmas, should be posted before the 18th, so please get any orders in before the 17th. Many thanks. Also the actual shop will be open the next two Sundays 12th & 19th, 10am – 1pm .

2nd Dec. 2021. I can’t believe that one year ago today , we opened our shop for the first time. What a year it’s been, we weren’t then to know that three weeks later, we were to close our doors again for three and a half months, due to lockdown. Online shop was still going though. We were able to move the shop around a bit, to have more room too in that time and some other changes to come. What a year though, it’s grown a lot , lovely customers and looking forward to meeting more, love it.

So although it’s one year anniversary day, i’m looking at those first three weeks as a trial run, we are holding off the proper celebrations , until 12th April 2022, although i might still raise a glass, to Then and our work, tonight.

7th Oct. 2021. Fully recovered (well sort of) from packing nearly the whole shop, into a van and setting it up again, at the fantastic, Oh So Retro show, then dismantling and transporting it back to the shop and re-displaying it , all in 24hours. The shop has been getting re-stocked and what’s more, even more new lines, have been added in store and online and what’s more, there’s even more arriving soon. So keep checking in folks. To avoid any disappointment , if your thinking of gift ideas for Christmas , can i suggest you get your orders in early. As some lines come from Europe, we are expecting delays of deliveries , so some products might not get re-placed in time if they sell out. Hope to see or hear from you soon.

2nd Sept. 2021.

Well it’s now the first week of September and it certainly feels like Autumn is here today . Check out our Facebook page for some new views of the shop, it’s getting fuller and fuller and next week , there’s a pallet of new things arriving , so watch this space. Just got to figure out where it’s all going to go . Also this month there’s the amazing “Oh So Retro” show , held at Palm Bay on the 26th , just up the road from us here in Margate. Delighted to be having our pop-up shop there. So looking forward to it, one of the biggest events of the year here. Hundreds and hundreds of classic and custom cars , bikes & scooters , entertainment and other stands. A busy Summer is leading into an even busier Autumn i think.

6th August 2021

Hard to believe another month has gone by already, what a month it’s been too, it’s certainly been busy, so many new lines added . Apart from the new metal signs and mugs , we are Especially excited by all the new cast iron products, you’ve got to check them out. From Michelin men figures, Betty Boop doorstops to Royal Mail post boxes and lots more inbetween.

Then there’s all the new gift lines for those into VW’s, Fiat 500’s, Vespas , Harley Davidsons and so much more, more, more. To top that even more arriving from Europe in the next few weeks too, where are we going to put it all.

Hope your enjoying the summer so far and hope to see you in the shop or online soon, don’t forget to find us on Facebook. Richard & Jo
