    I have Teddy Bears, clocks and plenty of other stuff to yet photograph.

    Enough coffee to last me the rest of my life, stacks of tea and tinned food.

    But we have had to go to the tip at least 10 times with trash, knitting wool and when I say wool and mean a mountain of wool.
    This old lady never threw anything out, thankfully.

    A charity shop might be glad of wool.

    And you'd be surprised what vintage wool yarn sells for around here. That clean-out sounds like equal parts chore and blast. I'm seeing a fair bit of gold sitting there. Never argue with gold!

    I'm waaaaaaaaaaay behind in photographing my latest finds but here are a few with the most interesting, to me, are the blue and white Japanese S&Ps. I do not recall seeing M.I.J. before. Is this a short lived option or just something this company/person did? I LOVE the hand painted gold graphics for salt and pepper!!!
    I believe the salt is on the right.
    ~
    Apparently the Lucys have been used and not just displayed.
    ~
    The shells are VERY cool too and, likely, are locally made.
    ~
    All the S&Ps are gifts for the wife of a car club member who collects them. They host, an invitation only, huge party/picnic often twice a year. At the first event I discovered she collected and every event I bring her some. I have for quite a few years now. :) I have never brought a duplicate to hers!
    It helps her collecting that she works only a few blocks away, at the county DMV, ;) (A BIG help sometimes!) so she gets some here and there. I delivered 3 sets last week but she wasn't in. :( She will love these methinks. :)
    I have an Indy 500 mug for him since he whined about the large ambe beer mug type set, with handles, from the 500 I gave her some weeks ago. ;)
    NOTE: They are Tow Mater's parents. He's in my avatar. :)

    The 64 year old book is in amazing condition! I intend to read at least one story every Sunday morning. :)

    Love the blue and white shakers, but the initials may be those of a hobbyist who added the gold designs. Of course, maybe not.

    Check that bag frame. I'll bet it's silver. Art Deco and very nice. The box looks Anglo Indian.

    I'd guess it's just plate; those are Dutch style designs, and the things I've seen made the same way have all been plated. It's still pretty darned nice however. My favorite is the tin. Someone will want those bears; lots of people like them "well-loved". The jewelry box, btw, looks to be old Indian inlay.

    Today, btw, I found a way to blow two hours plus in a doctor's office. Usually they just suck blood money out of me for parking; today they took 9 vials too. The doctor was testing me for things I could have told him I can't have.(LOL)
