Also I notice your clock says Lytham, I have to ask is that Lytham, Lancs? If so I'm just round the corner, which is very suprising as I seem to be drawn to blogs written by people on the other side of the world!laura@paperthreadjournalhttp://www.paperthreadjournal.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623577050145803988.post-48447019627527018562011-02-28T22:53:11.987+11:002011-02-28T22:53:11.987+11:00Oh Miss Melissa, you don't find anything like ...Oh Miss Melissa, you don't find anything like that in my neck of the woods.

I like to hear the story behind things. It's one of my favorite parts of antique-ing. :)<br /><br />Thanks for the coffee and the pink chair.

What I do know, was that he kept a toy hedgehog in there (from his childhood), it was called Gilbert and was made of leather and fur... sounds yucky but he was cute... he rattled because he had been shot with a pellet gun up the bottom (by my brother)... he was his prized possession... when I got older he gave him to me... he moved from flat to house with me, but some how got lost in my transition to Australia... I've not told him... Hopefully he's still milling around somewhere... you never know he might end up at a jumble sale... keep an eye out for Gilbert!

Honestly, the op shops here forget they are selling 2nd hand goods - I swear, it's getting worse.<br />I'm also envious of your half term break, we are onto week 5 here and I feel myself fading. Only another 6 to go before the next hols.<br />On a less green eyed monster note - have a super dooper weekend.<br />Carmel<br />xCarmel's Closethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09496111373121294660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623577050145803988.post-52740362566917642422011-02-24T21:24:05.702+11:002011-02-24T21:24:05.702+11:00I have brought my own cup of tea, so don't wor...I have brought my own cup of tea, so don't worry about not offering me anything!<br />Oh my, you've been to a jumble sale...and in a village hall...I'm envious.
