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
A very sweet little piece, will be great for your seasonal display.

That's what I thought - it really is a collection now
DeletePeople think of Christmas on the horizon. Charity shops locally have Christmas decorations out on sale. A good find anyway.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that charity shops will get their Christmas stuff out soon so I can look for more nativity scenes for my friend
DeleteAha! That was a great find!
ReplyDeleteRight place just at the right moment!
DeleteWonderful find and it will look lovely in your display. Catriona

Deletea lovely find and addition to your collection.
ReplyDeleteA very lucky find
DeleteIt 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.
ReplyDeleteebay makes it too easy - like amazon and second-hand books
DeleteWell done! This is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI was pleased to find it
DeleteThat's a nice find, small enough too.
ReplyDeleteI don't need to get rid of something to make room for it!
DeleteWhat a lovely find. Sharp eyes, well done.
ReplyDeleteA good spot I reckon
DeleteUnlike 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.
ReplyDeleteI hope so
DeleteThe timing made a perfect find and addition to your collection.
ReplyDeleteCoincidence and a good amount of luck!
I doubt I'll find anymore now after being lucky twice recently
