Sorry but I'm not keeping my promise to show my shortbread moulds as I am expecting visitors and needed to clear the dining table! So here's a few bargains found during the last week before I put them away.
I've seen this Wedgwood drawer in the charity shop for over a week and at £2.50 I decided to give it a home! It's approx 12" square and has a lined drawer, I have no idea what was in it originally though - does anyone have any ideas? I'm sure I'll find some small treasures to keep in it.
The next day I found this Marks & Spencer footed bowl (approx 10"diameter) for £1.50. Now you know I have a weakness for anything gold, and I thought it would look so nice at Christmas.....so home it came.
On Saturday I went for a 'girls day out' to Dagfields (near Nantwich in Cheshire). I found a glass wash board which someone had chalk painted for £12 - the cheapest I've ever seen one!
I want to attach it to my laundry door :o)
While we were there I spotted this:
Babacombe Pottery string holder at £5. As you know I collect cats and already have another Babacombe cat string holder but it's painted as a tabby. The string comes out of the mouth and the scissors nestle in the nose.
Lastly, for many years I have scoured Cannock Chase in the hope of finding some deer antlers without success but, while out on Saturday I spotted a single Roe Deer antler one of the dealers had. I asked how much, they said £15 - I went away to think about it......
Then I went back after a while (and near closing) and offered £10. After a little discussion we finally agreed on £12. I'm DELIGHTED!
It has an overall length of two feet. It must be naturally shed as it isn't sawn off and it's a single antler. At the moment it's placed on the coffee table :o)
I must dash as I still have plenty of jobs to do.
I'd like to welcome another follower to the fold :o) Hope you enjoy my posts and leave feedback as I love to read it! On which subject, I hope I've got around to everyone who has left your sweet comments on my last post.
Have a great week all - promise I'll show the shortbread moulds next time - honest!
Very best wishes

Sqeeeeee over the washboard. OMGoodness, there's been one over the boot for two weeks now and I've passed it over because it was FIVE POUNDS! I hadn't realised they were more expensive than that. You know what I'm going to be buying next week if it's still there... xx
Hi Auntie Rose, I see you saw Tess while I was locked out in the garden the cheek of it!!! anyways thank you for your lovely gift to both of us, I think Tes has an idea for next weeks Tess ;)
You know if you ever want to get rid of the antler you can pass it this way :)
mom says she had a lovely day out with you.
Have a good week
See Yea George xxx
Great buys Rose, I love the antler and am not surprised you are delighted with it. I wonder if the Wedgwood box had a special plate in it..... although you would think it would be written on the box. I am sure it will be useful to store things in. Thank you for your lovely comments, I wrote a reply to you on my post :) Abby xx
Just love the idea of the washboard on your laundry door.
Love the wahboard, I'd not seen a glass one before. Thankyou for your lovely comment Rose, they always cheer me up, How are those hedgehogs getting along! :-)
