Toy Box

 Found a dusty box of old toys and other novelties that hadn't been opened since we moved to Cheshire 22 years ago!  It was fun to re-discover gems we founf at flea markets and jumble sales etc. No need for any boot sales or charity shops when we have hidden treasure trove in our own house!  Even some old sweets - candy sticks and Gummi Chews that were still in their wrappers and solidified!  Mind you, those sweet cigarettes ( candy sticks) were like bits of old chalk when they were new.

More Junk

Surprising number of bargains this morning at the indoor boot sale at Memorial Ct. despite being at the back of a huge queue. Favourite is the tin woodpecker who pecks at coins and puts them in a woodpecker's hole ( there's a song about that !) well, it would do if it still worked! Also nice set of photo countryside ciggy cards "Senior Service", metal Matchbox garage sign, plastic light meter dial thingy, carved nut in shape of flying saucer? ashtray? bon bon dish? not sure what it is actually. Captain Webbs matchbox and other bits and bobs. Hazel got a sailor puppet head made of plastic, wire gauge and milk pail. Beth got a plastic girls head for practicing hairdressing. Then we all went to Lidl to by boring stuff like bread, olives, cheese, vegetables etc.
