TwoJays Corner Antiques & Vintage A little about us...

We are an independent Antiques shop and have been trading since 2006 when we started up in a corner at Wolverhampton Antiques Market. We are Jacquie and Jeff, hence the name TwoJays!! You will find at TwoJays Corner an eclectic mix of Antiques & Vintage ... furniture restored and sometimes upcycled, accessories for your home and garden, collectable items including pottery, porcelain, glass, silver, linen, so much more And always something a little unusual or quirky. Our motto has always been ‘Something for everyone and all sizes of pockets’ . We have been featured on BBC's Antique Road Trip four times now and have had visits from Charles Hanson, Christina Trevanion, Paul Laidlaw, and Margie Cooper with the singer Tony Christie. There is even a video of a visit in the ecopy of the Sunday Express where Tony and Margie make an embarrassing gaffe!! https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/844630/Celebrity-Antiques-Road-Trip-Tony-Christie-Margie-Cooper-Jimmy-Osmond-Catherine-Southon-TV WHAT'S HAPPENING AT TWOJAYS... The last two years at Twojays have been too emotional and I had started to think it was time to retire. That thought didn't last very long, I'm not really ready to throw in the towel, so I decided to move instead and have a refresh.  We have been based in Shifnal since 2012 so I didn't really want to move too far away and Tweedale seemed to be the ideal location, near to Shifnal and in close proximity to Ironbridge. The new shop will be slightly larger with a slightly smaller outside section for garden furniture and garden statuary. We will be having a preview evening with drinks and canape's and an opening weekend. So far we are looking at Mid May but these dates will be confirmed towards the end of April. Do follow us on Instagram and facebook for all of Twojays latest news. In the meantime I would just like to say Thank You for sticking with me during the last couple of (turbulent) years Jacquie x April 15th 2024

It's Children In Need week and we are happy to announce that you can see us with Irita Marriott on BBC1 Antiques Road Trip on Wednesday 15th November at 15:45 and as usual all profits go to Children In Need. I have absolutely no idea how big the profit was on the item Irita bought from us. Hope it was huge!!

We changed our opening hours during this summer and we have decided to keep them the same for the winter, finding it cost effective and sustainable too. However, If you find yourself in our area and wish to visit us outside our normal hours then we will gladly open up our shop for you, we may very well already be there working in the workshop on a new furniture project. The cupboard on the left is a late 18thC oak and pine estate cupboard. This has been restored and the pine sides have been stenciled with a harlequin pattern in blue, green and cream. Influenced by a recent visit to Florence Our furniture projects in waiting include 2 small Victorian housekeeper/kitchen cupboards, A 1960's drinks cabinet, a 1970's television cabinet waiting to be converted to a drinks cabinet, a 1920's gramophone cabinet waiting to be converted to a drinks cabinet and a Victorian oak extending dining table that needs refinishing - phew! 31st October 2023

It's been a strange time recently at Twojays. It's been 12 months since we lost Mr Twojays (Jeffrey). My breast cancer treatment has gone well although it has left me tired so our opening hours will continue at 3 days a week (Wed, Sat & Sun) with viewing by appointment only for the remaining days of the week. With the help of good friends we have managed to keep Twojays muddling along. I would like to thank all our visitors for your support during this awkward time and also sincerely apologise to all the visitors that came and found us closed. I am so sorry that you had a wasted journey. We have also been on the TV again this year, Antiques Road Trip, series 26, Episode 3 with Ochuko Ojiri. Then the BBC came to visit us again on 22nd March when Irita Marriott and the Antiques Road Trip crew came filming again !! and apologies to the four people that came visiting when the BBC were filming that afternoon.

Online sales will continue to be dealt with, the shop however, will only be open every Wednesday, 10:30 to 4:30, during January. The shop will be open by appointment only for the rest of the days. Call 01952 462340 for an appointment. Thank you for your understanding. We had lots of new stock added prior to my diagnosis, so please do still come and visit. Dec 2022

Although I have helped on the stand in other years, this is the first time I have actually displayed any of my upcycled work. Looking forward to being there Wednesday and Thursday. Come and say 'Hi'. My furniture will be there Wednesday to Sunday. For tickets, please click on the image. Hopefully see you there, Jacquie x Sep 26th 2022

. We have been very remiss here at Twojays over the last 12  months keeping our web site up to date. Mr TwoJays was very poorly last year which in November ended with him in hospital with double pneumonia and also having a lung collapse. He seemed to make good progress health wise but in Mid January this year we had the devastating news that he had possible lung cancer. Sadly he passed away on 1st April. I miss him dreadfully and it has taken me a while to get myself together and get TwoJays back on track. I would like to thank everyone for all their kind words and support, in the shop, facebook, twitter and instagram, over the last couple of months. It has helped me a lot x

When Antiques Road Trip came to visit in 2016...

Celebrity Antiques Road Trip BBC2 Wednesday 30th November 7pm Tony Christie and Marjie Cooper come to visit us

Touching an object influences your judgment about what to buy. A study found that shoppers had more confident impressions when they touched something. Most collectors know this already. So, if you like to go to shops where you can feel collectables instead of buying online, you are being smart... 6th November 2016
