And More!

 Yep, another piece of Portmeirion Holly and Ivy china.

A tea-light holder. Car boot find - of course. £2. I was walking by just as the lady selling was unwrapping it and swooped in quickly. It's less than three inches tall so not taking up a lot of room in the cupboard and I can use it on the bookshelf for December, with my other winter bits . That's my excuse for the purchase of my tenth item.


I had three years between 2020 and 2023 when I didn't find any - there are many pieces on ebay but much more expensive than I would pay. Mine are just from charity shops or boot sales - mostly the latter. So finding two bits in the last couple of months is odd.


Back Soon

  2. People think of Christmas on the horizon. Charity shops locally have Christmas decorations out on sale. A good find anyway.

  7. It is the thrill of the find. I always look at the things and remember the day and the discovery perfectly. That can't be duplicated with an ebay find.

  11. Unlike tall candles that I feel nervous about lighting and have falling over, I like tea lights - that little pot with a tea light in it will look gorgeous.
