I went out today to post some parcels to my local head office post office and past a garage sale, Stopped car as couldnt not go and have a look and found this massive gulvase for £5 in the garage and a few other nik-naks ideal for the home an extendable dog lead etc what a result. Just shows its always worth stopping to see!!
I wondered if anybody else has found anything nice of late. Hope i dont appear a big head but thought id share my find its 52cm tall lol i nearly fell over when i picked it up

Good find that, my wife asked me to get her something from a local charity shop the other day and I found this Strathearn vase, can't remember what it was she wanted me  to get

I was surprised to find this large Isle of Wight Harris piece at a local thrift store recently. Now to just find some more

my morning walks usually take in quite a few charity shops, although good finds these days are few and far between.
This morning I found an almost mint Knopf (States) first edition copy of Dahl's 'Danny The Champion of the World', for £0.99p - with brilliant dj - albeit price clipped, and thought I'd cracked it and this had to be worth at least £125  -  till I got home and realized that someone had carefully removed the front free e/p.......  ahhhhh.       But I still think it's worth more than £0.99p.         Offers anyone?

But then found this Orrefors decanter - marked Orrefors NA 1623.            Not old I'm sure, and don't yet know the designer, but a nice bold piece and worth the £3.99 I paid.

Lovely vasart piece OMG an isle of wight charger that is one of my dreams to find one of those im glad its happened for you 100% I have to hand it too "danny the champion of the world though" That story where he tricks the pheasants into faling asleep with raisons laced with sleeping tablets has to be one of the best stories ever made..

I always said that these things always happen to other people, but I was visiting SF and picked up this Cenedese Aquarium for $3 and the Lalique table bell for $5...happy days!

Mine have some damage but they have a very healthy estimate and are up for auction with a rather large auction house starting with a capital "C" in June
