It might be a Christmas Present..................
..........or I could keep it.
This was on the shelf in the charity shop when I went in to do my stint last week. I picked it up, dusted underneath and then decided not to put it back on the shelf and it came home with me. With volunteers 20% discount it was 80p so didn't break the bank.
I was thinking that with some cheese or biscuits it could make a present but maybe I'll keep it. I was very good and moved two rarely used items from the dining room cupboard into the car-boot box under the stairs..........one in and two out is supposed to be my plan this year.
Back Tomorrow

Nice piece of favourite cheese for the recipient would make a lovely gift even for a birthday

It's lovely. I'd be sorely tempted to keep it, I think.

That is a nice plate, it would make a lovely gift in a mini hamper with some homemade pickles and a few bits of cheese. But as Joy says I would be tempted to keep as well, difficult one.
ReplyDeleteThere would be no question in my mind, I would definitely keep it. That is the kind of thing I look out for if and when I go to charity shops/car boot sales. If you decide to get rid of it point it in the direction of Devon please.
ReplyDeleteMe, too... KEEP!!!
DeleteHard choice - but a good swap for the items you have removed to the Boot box.
ReplyDeleteNo question-keep it! Use and enjoy it with bread, cheese and some chutney or fruit. Lovely find!
ReplyDeleteA lovely present to yourself. When I worked at a charity shop I brought lots of things I would never would have seen. When I first started at the charity shop (nearly 30 years ago) our charity only had the shop for 1 week in a month, another charity would have it for a week and we had to keep everything for the next month, it was great fun but now it's big business, manageress employed now. In them days we just helped each other and took it in turns to serve we put the money into somebody's house and it was banked at the end of the week. I was hard work to put everything into the shop for just a week but it was lots of fun. In all I worked there for 30 years almost and now we have a hospice to be proud of.

Goodness, that must have been such hard work. We still need lots more helpers as at the moment the paid manager is having to work on her own quite a lot and close up for lunchtime and only open 5 days instead of 6
DeleteThen it is yours for as long as you choose to love it x
ReplyDeleteOh I love the plate, I'd keep it for myself and enjoy having my cheese and crackers off the beatutiful plate. xx
ReplyDeleteNice plate, which I'm sure I'd have kept. What if you're eating French cheese, though? :-)
ReplyDeleteNo French cheese allowed with this plate!
DeleteNice plate, that would make a great pressie with some cheese and crackers and a bargain to boot xcx
ReplyDeleteOne in, two out sounds like a good plan to keep a space uncluttered. Lovely plate.
ReplyDeleteLovely plate. If you really like it and will use it, keep it, otherwise it will make a lovely present.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great policy -one in, two out. I try to do something similar if I buy new clothes.
ReplyDeleteI think I would keep it and put it on display, its lovely.

My dresser shelves are full of jugs - maybe I should have a swap around
DeleteDo keep it, it is lovely.
ReplyDeleteIts a keeper, I like it. Getting rid of 2 for 1 is a GREAT idea that I am going to try.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue :)
I love the plate, I would definitely keep it!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great present along with cheese/crackers/chutney. I shall be keeping my eyes open for some plates of a similar nature to use as gifts, such a great idea.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, def use it as a gift with a nice couple of cheeses and some crackers and a nice jar of homemade chutney. It would be well received by anyone ! And a Christmas gift sorted this early in the year ! Well done , you !
