So, before I go any further , let’s get this straight.

I mean books published by the company called Ladybird.
Right, now that’s cleared up, let’s get on with things...

I have said in the past that we have a very quirky garden. From ploughs to a mangle.
Today we went out and came across a coal scuttle.

We are still on the look out for milk churns …..
Hopefully I...

My Mom does like to watch a programme called ‘ Bargain Hunt ‘.
This is where teams go to an antique fair and buy items which then go to auction. Any money that is made the team gets to keep. I have to say that most times they lose...

We have had a lovely day out. We decided to go straight to the antique centre as they do food. We each had full English breakfasts and a drink. We sat in the 1940’s cafe, decorated as in the 1940’s with music of the time being...

The weather was glorious again today and after a late breakfast cooked by The Mister , we decided to go out for a drive.
One of our favourite places to go is Bridgnorth ….about a 20 - 30 minute drive from where we live.
The market...

Classic cars are a lot of fun to look at, and there's a place close to us next to Menard's that operates like both a dealership of classic cars as well as a museum. Every once in a while, it's fun to walk through and see what's...

One of the things I like about house-sitting is viewing the different décor in the houses. If it is an old family home, there might be antique pieces from a generation or two earlier. This house is not particularly old but the...

A couple of months back I found this little beauty at my favorite thrift store, the run that the lady who started the pantry I volunteer at also runs, when she gave me a very reasonable price on it, of course I had to give it a...

Right now I collect mostly art supplies that work for mixed media art. I don't have room for collecting even those things. In the past I have collected clown figurines, houseplants (I still have a few), always writing paper...

I had been a fan of Bargain Hunt since it first began, but a couple of years ago I became very bored with it because they were always showing repeats of the show. I can cope with seeing a first repeat , but they seemed to be...

Vintage items and antiques are in high demand at marketplaces like eBay, auctions, and second-hand stores. I used to have the original 1959 Barbie doll with the black and white strip swimming suit on. I gave it to my BFF's little...

We’ve arrived at our house-sit and are partly settled. We knew the owner wouldn’t be here but she never locks the house so it was easy to get in. We’ve connected to the internet and found the air-conditioning switches so it’s all...

The photo shows a small cupboard which is in our house-sit home. It would be very old and has fancy glass doors. There doesn’t seem many antiques in the house but I do like this little cupboard.
The photo on the cupboard is of...
