Oh! If only I lived nearer! Some real finds there. Love the berry spoons particularly but everything is gorgeous. I like the original idea for your labels too.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, why did men need special hats for smoking?

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting Ormolulu and leaving a nice comment, Julie! We seem to have a lot in common . . . I've always wanted an AGA, I own a wooden-handled, silver plate syrup (?) JUST like the one on your website, I collect old rocking horses . . . well, the list goes on! Your blog is beautiful!!!! How do you get the *snow*?

Dear Julie,
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous hats and beautiful cutlery - very nice finds indeed! Seeing your snow images below literally made me gasp - it looked like home ( i e Sweden), but to imagine that this is in the UK - very exotic indeed! I hope you are not suffering too much with the implications of such weather and accompanying treacherous road conditions...
Your stall in an earlier entry looked lovely and your images from Paris made me itch all over... I had planned to meet up with a friend there earlier this autumn, but had to postpone. Hopefully I will be able to attack the French flea markets early in the new year... I wonder how to bribe the Eurostar staff to let me on with all the bargains I hope to find... ;-) Realistically, Paris prices might just make that task unnecessary...
Thank you so much for leaving such nice comments on my blog - you are very kind!
Warm regards,
Helena, The Swenglish Home
