Yesterday was my charity shop volunteering day and I have (praise the lord) got some treasures to share.
Very definitely not as wonderful as last weeks, but I must say I am quite relieved.
After posting the pic of the Stockholm leaping deer I was inundated with requests to buy, I felt awful letting people down....but, it did go to 2 of my most fave people and they had wanted it for ages.
So that is a nice thing to happen.
I will still post about things that may be of interest to people, it is after all, a very good boost to the shop.
Todays treasure is more random.

ReplyDeleteOoh Emma, you're right about the hair dryer! We had exactly the same one in the late 60's, and it was very heavy ... I remember the lady on the box distinctly ... Could even be the same one!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Easter,

Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth...
ReplyDeleteI want to be Pam Ayres when I grow up!
Has anyone suggested 'Cat in a Flap'?
Happy Easter from Eco Ethel xx
What a lovely old book! I also like the sheets and wool. Wish I lived near your shop, it's been ages since I found anything interesting in the ones around here. Have a great Easter, Mrs RV x
ReplyDeleteOoh want them sheets! We had a Pam Ayres reading at our wedding! Should be going to Vintage Village next month, is it on the 14th? x
ReplyDeleteFab finds, I remember those hairdryers used to make your arm ache.
ReplyDeleteLook at that china, it is gorgeous!! And the sheets too! I must promise myself a charity shop day some time soon, I just never seem to be able to get round to it!!

That Tea set is wonderful! I never spot such good treasure in our local charity shops - I either need to do more rummaging or trying a different town!
ReplyDeleteThat china and material is gorgeous - nice finds!
