I just love the fresh and cheerful 50's aesthetic of the hand coloured designs on these bowls. Terry wants to claim them as snack dishes for his sometime in the future drinks cabinet (he's been collecting retro bar gear since long before i met him, but still no drinks cabinet...actually we're in no rush now we have an inquisitive 3 year old and an understudy), and i might let him. as long as he promises to always have a ready supply strawberries to accompany my pimms, once i get off this breastfeeding gig circa 2016-17!
are you an Op-Shop Show-Off?
or more modest about your superior second hand shopping abilities?
do you like to linky?
it’s charitable, green, cheap, exciting, fun, nostalgia inducing, potentially lucrative and often just plain necessary. whatever your reason for second hand shopping we’d love it if you joined us on Tuesdays here at blackbirdhasspoken.blogspot.com for Op-Shop Show-Off, a linky open to all, all week, to link up a blog post about any aspect of your second-hand shopping life. tell us your op-shopping philosophy, or divulge your secret hunting techniques. let us know about your wants, or skite (English translation= “show-off “) about your amazing finds. review the best op-shopping spots in your town, or request or give information on your fascinating finds, you’ll always be talking to an appreciative audience here.
