Quick photo of yesterday's finds.

This year I had a run on pins believe it or not, and have been having trouble finding quality vintage pieces to replace them. So I was happy to find 4 pins and 1 dress clip at the local flea. A few stones are missing but I can replace them.

The cake plate is a Jeannette Sunflower 1930-35.

 

Nice and signed. Very saleable.

 

Another Herend piece, a small bowl almost 3 inches in diameter.

 

found a few of these canton enamel dishes, think this is the nicest one ive found so far though, £3 and Qing i think, nice colours

 

Ohh. I'm jealous.

 

Charlie that would make a great tip tray.

 

Doya know, I saw a busker in our local town last week pearls, and he had a card payment machine

Not even a joke

The Times they are a changing

 

Here at some craft shows, the vendors have those card payment machines too tho I think many prefer cash.

Some of the vintage tip trays I come across are tin or metal and they resemble when we used to go to a restaurant and the waiter left the bill on it on the table and then we could put down the cash on it or a credit card and they would ring it up.

If you come across the Pink Elephants tip trays or glassware, they are still pretty popular for barware.

 

I have Square for credit cards, I also take Venmo for kids (they don't carry cash), PayPal and Zelle. Some days I only get cash, other days only various electronic payments. Whatever the buyer wants to use I am happy to take

 

5 kids behind me in the convenience store buying slushies....... 4 were paying with cash....
kinda raised my eyebrow!

 

This is more a collection of finds, some of which I've previously posted on this site one way or another.

We have a recessed closet, where we've put bookcases. I've added a light and have now been adding in parts of my collection:
