AND THE LUCKY WINNER IS!!!

As duly promised, I put the names in a hat (well! a rather pretty dish actually!) and picked out the lucky winner.
The winner is the lovely lady from ~ Lace Hearts ~ (lacehearts.blogspot.com/)
Congratulations!!!!
She chose the name Angel-in -waiting (I think it will be Angel for short!) for the little doll found abandoned and lonely at the car boot.
If you would kindly email me with your address I can post your goodies on to you.
Its been very wet here, but we managed a couple of Car Boot sales that were indoors.
Look at these lovely little vintage hair slides - the butterflies are particularly sweet!





And how about the Hair net! real Grannie style, it even has a ribbon that ties under the chin!
Isn't it funny how fashions change - we wouldn't be seen dead going to bed in one of these today, yet they were common place not that long ago.




That's all for now - Bye xx

  5. Hi all, Yes the slides are so pretty. I've been messing about with them today - but I must admit to myself I just wouldn't wear them (as you know I mostly have a hat on - yes taken to wearing them indoors!!! what does that make me!!).So 'strike while the iron is hot' - think 'Credit Crunch' an all that - they are on Ebay!
    I keep thinking - well if they don't sell, but I know they will just end up in a drawer, and they are too nice for that!
    Thanks for the comments itsnice to know what you think, and share memories.

    Best wishes

  8. Just viewed your bogspot, i am very impressed. Over centralisation of food has mean't the loss of regional and seasonal variety, local crafts and a sense of belonging in the community. By producing from your own garden you have produced a garden of outstanding natural beauty which helps preserve, spreads, protects and increase the range of plant and animal species in your local area and provides them with a long-term future. What a magnificent haven for enquiring minds like minds.
