I'm back.
No excuses, let's just say I'm a bad blogger and I will try harder in future.
So - here's a little bit of what I've thrifted lately
One of the bargains of the year so far is this 30-piece set of Old Hall Alveston cutlery by Robert Welch.
This is a true classic, winning a Design Centre Award in 1965. Coincidentally it is featured in the current (July) edition of Elle Decoration.
I found this set bagged up in a charity shop for £2. On the same shelf was a set of Ikea cutlery for £3.
This little bird is a bit of a mystery, and I would welcome any suggestions as to the manufacturer.
It does have a maker's stamp on the bottom, but my camera is not very good at close-ups.
I'm also
unsure what the holes are for, if anything.
Any ideas?
Another Bernard Buffet-style item, this time a small metal tray. £1 from the usually over-priced "Vintage" section of a local charity shop.
This is the first Whitefriars I have ever found in a charity shop.
It has a couple of tiny chips around the inner rim, but due to the way the light glows through the glass you have to look really closely to notice them.
It doesn't match anything in my house so I'm not sure what to do with it, but I couldn't leave it in the shop for £2.
