Have You Heard Of Higglers?
Me neither, until our recent visit to Axminster. We discovered that higgler is an archaic English word** for an itinerant pedlar of inconsequential trifles. Except in that fine town, where the West Country Higgler is a lovely little tea shop, selling delicious beverages, fresh salads, and stunning cakes.The other part of the shop is Little Bits of Lovely which sells hand crafted, recycled, reclaimed, preloved [etc etc] items. It's part of a crowdfunded community project - and one way of returning the 'little shops' to our towns and villages.
We enjoyed an excellent lunch there, before our NT excursion to Loughwood. And I loved looking at all the goods in sale in the shop [didn't buy anything though!]
I quite fancy my own button dispenser [so much more useful than bubble gum]
**Henry Fielding uses the term in his book Tom Jones. However, in the West Indies, the word higgler has now come to mean a person who sells drugs. So just be careful where you use it in conversation!
