A very stylish hat by McCracken and Bowen, London, made for Jenners in Edinburgh with its original box.
I presume Mrs Moffat lived permanently at the Calendonian Hotel in Edinburgh as a number of "well to do" ladies did in the 1950's /1960's.
A pair of cute sleeping dog prints....
And a strange sausage shape that is actually a plaid coat for a small pooch....
However, with the absence of a real pooch to model said coat, I improvised with a furry bear like handbag from House of Fraser which I rolled up and popped inside.
Granted no head, legs or tail, but you get the idea...
All will be going to New College, Durham this Sunday 23rd January together with a couple of Victorian pewter tankards and a pretty plaid wool blanket in soft heathery colours.....
Two large C19 blue and white transfer print jugs
one depicting a hawking scene....
the other depicting an enormous dog with sunglasses and human features.....bizarre.
Finally the table has been painted......
F and B Light Gray.
I have put it in the kitchen for now to house the ugly, but necessary TV and Sky box.
I painted the legs and frame but left the top and gave it a good coat of pine polish.
When I have more time I will find a new home for it in the house where I can display nice things on instead of the ugly telly..
What do you do with the TV....hide it, stick it on the wall or maybe you don't even have one ?
Enjoy the rest of the week....
