‘Twas last night here I think!

 

...sure!??

 

Positive!! ( firmly crosses fingers to preserve @daveydempsey ’s untarnished reputation)

 

Okay! ;-)

 

It's 5 o'clock here as I read about it! I don't drink, haven't in yoinks other than my annual beer, but now I want some too!

 

Spent about £12 at 3 Charity shops on this pile of silver bits today. The best one is the Norwegian Nils Erik Elvik bracelet which was the cheapest at £1.

 

I'm going to stalk you, I swear.

 

I bore this home in some triumph. It's the same dolls house I had as a small girl. We lived in a house which it resembled, and that's why my much missed Pa bought it for me.

It may never leave me.

 

How awesome is that??

 

Love those!

 

It's a Triang 76. They did a whole series of them, all basically suburban houses from the 20s and 30s. The nice man who sold me it let me have it for a whole ten quid. It has it's original paper parquet floors and wallpaper.

 

Oh and @KSW . What do you reckon this is? The only match I could find was Travellers Network Cork, which makes sense with the Irish style lettering.

 

This is family history. Both my great grandfather and my mother topped the bills at the Hackney Empire. So it had to come home with me.

 

It looks like you are well on your way to rebuilding the hoard!!

I have a necklace that looks similar to the middle bracelet. According to what I could find online they are referred to as Byzantine.

That is very cool!!

How big is it? Will you now be on the hunt for furniture & such to fill it up?

 

Had a good day, thanks for the Byzantine term I didn’t know that.

 

A small foray into majolica. The first is a Neto and Gomes Cabbage plate from Portugal.



And the second - a blue basket plate from Japan.

 

The blue basket seems to me imitative of pieces from Zell, Germany.

 

Yes. I agree. Some others selling this mistook it for Zell. Others Italian. You can see the JAPAN blurred though. Three sellers identified it a Japanese.
