A few more finds.

Hello all, hope everyone is enjoying a great weekend.

I've had a few finds over the last couple of weeks which I'd like to share with you.

(As usual click to expand pictures)

First of all, I spotted this pair of vases - with a difference!

modern ones, but a bargain price of £2.50

They're approx 6" at their widest.  Love that they can be hung up too :o)

On my way out I happened to spot something a bit special I'd missed, something I have quite a few sets of but have not mentioned before.

A set of 8 place card holders, and of all things turkeys!

They're really heavy metal ones, and they were just £4.  Standing just about 1.5" high.

I can just imagine them set out for our Christmas meal - okay sorry, I know I shouldn't mention that word yet.

On another visit I spotted these lovley, small cobalt glass bottles - just the thing for home made Vanilla Extract gifts

Just about 3.5" high - the patterned one was 50p, the other two were 25p each.

Remember my last visit to David Austin Roses?  I told you what beautiful cups and saucers our tea was served in, and I didn't take a photo - well, I found this sweet soap dish, exactly the same make and pattern - well it had a rose on, I HAD to have it!

Yes, that's right 75p :o)

When I had paid for these, I stopped chatting to a friend - one of the volunteers came up to me and asked if I'd be interested in this flow blue sauce tureen for 50p!

Such a pretty design and knop...why was it on;y 50p?

A small chip and hairline crack means it was bound for the skip (dumpster).

She knows I love blue and white, so asked if I wanted it - of course I have found it a home :o)

Strange the pattern is 'ERIC' though :o)

C.W.S. stands for the Co operative Wholesale Society.

Yesterday I popped in (as usual!) and spotted this golf ball paperweight, 3" diameter,

just 50p.  It had to come home with me too!

Just before I close for now I'll give you a quick update on the hedgehogs -

I'm still feeding them every night, I don't always see them, but I know they've eaten here.

The West Midland Hedgehog Rescue centre who took poor Charlie is having an open day next Saturday 10th September. I have made some greetings cards for them to sell and collected a few things hedgehog related along the way to help boost their funds..

I'm also going to make some biscuits (cookies) for them to sell.  Just hoping that the seller in Germany will get the hedgehog cookie cutter to me in time!  If not they are going to be very plain.

I'll post again during the week with a 'wildlife' update and maybe a few pictures too - I'm having a whale of a time with this new camera!  (Panasonic Lumix)

I'll close now, wishing you all a good week.

Best wishes
