This weeks vintage finds!



First of all was these two super 1960s Japanese pose dolls, they are in super condition too!
I saw them standing on the top shelf waiting for me, and I just literally ran over and snatched them!


Next was these lovely glasses only £2.50 and I could not pass them up, not like I need anymore!
But i thought the design was excellent, never seen the print before.


A rather handsome piece of glassware of a solider/nutcracker.
Made in Germany.


A Finger Vase!

A C.Eward's tea tray with Bakelite ball feet.

A 1970s Calendar with some super images of some well known mass market artists.
Which I may do a seperate post about.

This rather charming print for £2.00, it's a little earlier then I usually go for, but could not pass it up so it came home with us!




And last but not least my rummaging through the the vinyl found some wonderful records, not bad for £1 each!

I'm In Love!




This was a beautiful car we saw at the 60s Gala Weekend at the Great Central Railway in Loughborough, just a shame I can't drive!
They really don't make them like this anymore.

Latest Thrifting Purchases


A rather cute set of glasses with a super design for only £1.75.

This LP was only 99p could not believe my eyes!
I love the fact it has synthesiser effects!




And last but not least a set of 2 trays with fold out legs, I'm really loving this kind of floral print.
 Perfect for a summers picnic!
Best of all was they only cost £2!

TIME FOR A STORY


One thing I love about vintage children's books are the super illustrations!
They really do take me back to a time of innocence,
And this gem did when I found it on ebay for 50p!
I came across when I was on the hunt for ladybird books!
