story 218. good loot.

'twas a lovely day hanging with my sis

at her ever-so-cute vintage caravan,

helping to sell her gorgeous collected & assembled wares.

('mary's chair' did not take long to

find a happy new home either.)

Monday saw us make a day

of gathering & collecting,

its always better to hunt in pairs.

we got quite a haul,

blue leather gloves,

picture frames,

old belts, vintage brass zips,

a leather tool belt.

woollen blanket,

Harrod's tuxedo shirt,

tea-cups & saucers,

and kinda best of all,

fate gave a little nod to the

impending royal wedding.

this cup, found buried at the bottom of the heap,

celebrating that marriage nearly 30 years ago

(I remember not being allowed to stay up late to watch

it on tv, oh the disappointment!?)

 

our car was pretty crammed by the time we turned for home.

gotta love good loot.

*

these found items

will soon make their way into the {oldyarns} corner store,

be recycled into utility bags, pouches and

tea-cup planters as part of the collection

"The London Club".

*

ps: I can't decide whether to keep the Princess Di cup

for myself,

or make it into a planter? what do you think?
