BARGAINS and TREASURES

I did'nt get to tell you what I got from Todmorden Market yesterday.  First up is this great black & white photo which is in an old frame.  Its been added to my growing gallery.

I love old photographs like this of groups of people you know nothing about and you wonder who they are, what they are doing, where they are.  I think its fascinating.

This one cost me all of £2, the frame and mount are worth that.

This one is of a wedding party, but who are they ? are they working or middle class ?

The little basket will be a good prop for my stall and I love this leather cased clothes brush to fit in a bag or pocket.  The retro material is a pump bag.  Bargains £3.50 the lot.

Don't you think the teapot I got for £2  works well with my mixed lot of crockery and what about these lovely cups and saucers I picked up 4 sets and I they go great with the Doodly Bird coasters.

 Last up is this little jar with the word "perejil", in botany it means "parsley".  
Look at the birds they are far distant cousins of the Doodlies.

Another great lot of finds at Todmorden Secondhand Market

More thrifty buys in Todmorden

This week I met friends Sandra from Earby & Tracy from Slaidburn for what is fast becoming known as Lynn's Tours of Todmorden.

First stop was coffee and cake on the inside market at Carlton's Catering.  Who can resist their delicious shortbreads, scones and cakes and I always come home with too many goodies.  For their outside catering, cookery lessons & buffets they now have a great website

www.carltoncaterers.co.uk

Got some gorgeous boxes at really good prices (40p-£3.50) from the card stall owned by Pat who has been there for the past 13 years. We had a lovely chat with her and Jean about the great range of cards they stock.  There are cards for everything you can think of and loads of things for the Jubilee flags, banners, napkins, hats.

If you are looking for something special ring Pat on 077159 92056 or email her at patricia.raybould@btinternet.com

On the outside market today I met Tony and Ann who sell Antiques and do house clearances.  Tony's unique selling point is he can clear a house in three hours. (he hasnt seen mine).  I got what I hope will be a great two tier turntable to display the DOODLY BIRD RANGE  when I am at craft fairs. It needs painting white first so I am not showing it you yet.

You can contact Tony and Ann at tony.coulthard50@tiscali.co.uk

Bargain £4 the lot

I finally ended up buying these spats from Aileen of Retrodec Vintage Clothes.
Contact Aileen at aileenj53@gmail.com if you are looking for something in particular.

They will be at  Altrincham Vintage Market this Sunday.
