More Nice Things

Yes, this is the second, in a mini-run of 'nice things' posts.

This can never be a bad thing, nice things are what makes life....well nice.

Being of a thrifty nature, please understand, that all my recent purchases/additions have been purchased for a very special price.

Today saw myself and the lovely Ms Beth Taylor visiting this Lovely Ladies
Vintage Sale.
I was very happy with my purchases, but on our way home, I was forced (in rather a harsh manner) to stop for yet more thrifty shopping, and guess what, I bought a little bit more.

So here are my treasures.

vintage doll heads, I have plans!!

eventually succumbed to the charity shop mug that fits in nicely with my current red and blue theme

more doll faces.....one of them is maybe slightly unnerving

great melamine storage box, doll head storage maybe?

vintage school cupboard with empty shelves...I love empty shelves :)
only £20

a printers tray (for me this time) and possibly awaiting a few of  these

vanity case with the most lovely, orange, satin interior

rather nice plastic pots, made in Germany

more heads....

rather a fantastic chair and only £5
my fave purchase

I also bought a most flabby wall shelf with 4 hooks.
This will be positioned, professionally, by Mr Betty when he has a few minutes to think (his words).
I am going lightly on him today, well, it is Fathers Day.

Thanks for reading and watch out for my shop update. 
If nothing goes wrong, like a spate of CBA, it should be done by the end of the week. x

Charity Shop Treasures part 3

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.

boxed pifco hairdryer (could concuss if not handled correctly)

book illustrated by harry rountree, so beautiful

gorgeous regency china

vintage sheets

cute retro baby wool

huge collection of 1930s cigarette cards

ace old tin (now mine)

and this

I love a bit of Pam Ayres, my mum is a big fan!

During my coffee break I had a little read through and I thought I would share my favourite.

this is for my friend Beth

I am a Witney Blanket

Original & Best

You'll never get cold feet

With me across your chest

Charity Shop Treasure (maybe)

Hello, just back from the charity shop and I actually found treasure, AND took some pics!!

Now, please don't think I just wander around taking pics of things for you, today I did a bit of tidying and then I was on till duty. We were quite busy due to a pound sale.

 I also had a very long and interesting chat with a stamp collector (can't think of its official title, something to do with phlem??). 

 Anyhows, on with my discoveries.

A large amount of Stockholm Leaping Deer....tempted!

I love this sort of thing, can anyone think of a use for it other than singles?

Pretty vintage china....tempted!

Nearly bought this. Vintage airline melamine, shame it is brown (and dirty).

and, I bought these little donkeys home.

Tonight I will mostly be eating pizza (naughty, lazy, but nice) and probably making pompoms....somebody stop me!!!

Thanks for reading. x
