I was really taken with this beautifully embroidered 1940s? cushion cover. The stitching is far better than I can do. It now has a cushion on it and is on the sofa. It was only 50p. From the same stall I got another big crocheted blanket for £2. It's pink and white, not quite my colour range, but useful for cold nights.
This pretty green pressed glass bowl was £3. I didn't try and haggle as the old lady selling it is a regular down there, desperate to supplement her pension, so I reckon she needed the money more than me. I never set out to collect green glass, but once got our middle daughter a green glass dressing table set, then the odd bit of matching green glass. She doesn't care for it now, so I ended up with the start of a collection. I have some lovely dishes and a serving bowl in a deeper green than this and thicker glass too. I am still looking to find another couple of the matching dishes to make up the set.
A pale green stained picture frame, another pine ditto with a pretty picture in it, and two looooooong and aged reels of white cotton. £3 the lot.
