The Canny Badger
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
General
Opening a physical store felt like a new start. I had dabbled in odd markets for a while, but this was a big step. My previous name (Magpied Curios) had been fitting to my old ways, but I wanted something more permanent.
A Magpie swoops around gathering and collecting treasures.
A Badger is much more hardy and adaptable. They often use their sets for generations, truly putting down roots.
Sunniside is also a perfect placement with a great and growing local community.
Hope that means you're coming to visit. We would love to welcome you.

Yes! You can shop online or instore. You can also select to collect instore for larger, heavy or fragile items, or just if you live close by.

But we would love to see your faces in store.
Our items are Vintage/Antique and pre-loved, and we would love you to rehome them.
They may come with scuffs, marks, and signs of use, but these are all memories and characteristics which can not be created. Each line tells a story, its an insight into previous owners, adventures and a huge part of what makes your new items so special, rare and desirable. Nothing else will ever be the same.
You are also making a green choice, by re-loving sustainable items, be it jewellery, ceramics, furniture or otherwise and becoming a part of its history yourself.
We will do our very best to show any wear in photos and with detailed descriptions, please be aware items are sold as seen and character is all part of them.
Message us, we love a chat. Pop in.
If you are trying to source something in particular please let us know, we would love to help out, just let us know what you are looking for and your budget and we will happily help out.
CASH! We love it, but don't worry we can also take cards instore and online.
As a general rule accept returns, especially with Furniture, as we have a limited space, but please contact us if you need to.
We are also open to purchasing items drop in, or drop us a message with any questions.
Many items can be posted, and will be listed as such, however with larger/heavier/fragile items, we would recommend arranging a courier/delivery service or collecting instore.
We are happy to work with companies of your choosing, but please note this is at your own expense and risk.
We can also advise on local services should you require.
