I had always yearned for one of those old Enid Blyton style school posters from the 50's and when we went to Totnes (This 'n' That) - I managed to get one! It was quite dangerous as there were so many tempting goodies and Lesley who owns the shop was lovely to chat to!
Here's what I got -
Here's my poster, now framed.
The Vintage at Goodwood Festival was obviously a bit of a shopping mecca and I was lucky enough to pick these up, I think this stall must have bought the contents of an old shop as most items were in their original packaging, including these hankies and beauty set. I'm reluctant to separate them from the packaging so will leave them as they are for now.
A couple of pretty pink plastic hangers
Mr Fisherman
and finally my bargain of the year - a Cath oil cloth bag at half price.
Bye for now!

Ah, some lovely finds, Sarah. Likewise, I found some melamine picnic ware recently in a soft blue. I love the shapes of the cups, don't you? And the feel of the melamine is so much nicer than the plastic used for lots of picnicware today. Mr Fisherman is rather fun too - I bet he could tell a tale or two!!
Happy days to you,

Looks as though you had a successful time there!

Someone has been having oodles of fun! :-)
Such finds! Lucky lucky you x
Wonderful finds! I do have an awful, guilty feeling that when I started teaching in 1991 I might have, with my colleague the new head teacher, thrown away some of those posters... I don't actually remember doing it, but it's just a lurking fear, as the old school we took over was certainly stuck in a mid-century timewarp...
Ooooohhhh such goodies and I love your casual laid back kind of guy Mr Fisherman!!

Love the fisherman!
Wonderful. I like the picture especially, and that little pink mirror looks slightly familiar. I wonder if I had one? xx
The poster looks wonderful framed, you found some lovely things.
You found some lovely things, I love the 50s posters too, I have just hung a seaside one in my bathroom. Love your Cath bag too, it's a great design.
