A few 'finds'........

Found a few pieces for my unit today - this tiny (about 18 ins high) old 'mini' dresser -

 
It would look cute with a doll's tea set on it; I haven't got one at the moment, though it can also take small cups, like these Coalport ones -
 
 
Found a small 'torso' / bust too - to display jewellery -
 

 
And a sweet doll's wicker crib -

 
I liked this quite large (Chinese) enamel bowl too -



Always pleased to find pretty cloths -

 
and pretty cups and saucers.  None of these match, but they're still lovely! -

(photo steadfastly refusing to be turned round, sorry!)



Found a great birthday card for one of my sons-in-law, who comes from Manchester (he's an Art teacher, so will appreciate it) -

 

And this morning, I saw the first snowdrops in the garden - always such a welcome sign!

 
 
Have a good week!

  5. Hello:
    You are not at all short of some very interesting and pretty things which, we should imagine, will be rapidly snatched up.

  7. I came back from walking the dog this morning to see the first heads of snowdrops under the apple tree. Was very heartening to see amongst all the mud. Oh. So very much mud!

    The blousy tulips are beautiful too! No snowdrops in our garden ... it's still a mudbath :(
