Firstly, I found another one of these, so similar to the one I found about a fortnight ago - would you believe it? It's funny how that happens. I'll probably never see another again now. This one is a bit nicer than the other - less of a flattened bum and with a funny charm at the base of the dandelion stalk.
A folding chair with a wacky mechanism. It's nice that its painted black, I like things that are graphic and black - very sculptural.
A jug that is both very conservative and completely barmy - the jug equivalent of golfing attire.
A roll of nice thick copper wire, I don't know what I'll do with it but I had to buy it: I got that habit from my Dad I reckon. On a mildly related note - this year a man told me that the scrap value of copper has gone up so much 'it's now worth twice as much as gold'. Jeez! what a Dunce . . . I smiled and nodded, naturally.
This dress has now been washed and is beautiful - it's covered in tiny neat mends. And the collar is so minimal - two petite triangles on an otherwise round neck, so sweet. I think it's a child's one but maybe there's a lucky slender adult out there who might fit it.
This one is adult size and nice, a slightly squared neck. Not so many nice mends on this one: she was probably too busy patching up her daughter.
A beautiful bit of ribbon - I think I might save up little pieces like this and pop them in with parcels from the shoppy-shop.
A canvas water bucket, beauty.
Finally some new sheets for me, a pounds worth of treating myself - decadent.In other news: the shop is going well. I sent off a couple of parcels this morning which feels really good! Got stuck in a massive queue at the Post Office though, I'll have to learn their peek times - so many things to get the hang of.
If you take a fancy to any of the above you can leave a comment and then I'll list it on Etsy. Smart.
(And thank you Madeleine for the title)

ReplyDeleteWould love the dandelion bubble. Let me know? I wanted the first one too....so it must be fate. :) I posted the first time and forgot to give my email....it's angella12910@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm new to Toot....both the blog and the word. Have been practicing correct pronunciation as first instinct was toot as in boot. Love it. Both.
Oh wow I love the dandelion!
ReplyDeleteOkey cokey. I'll list the dandelion on Etsy tomorrow - first come first served. How exciting.
ReplyDeleteGasp, that dandelion is a beauty. Did I miss it? Sounds like I was last in the queue. Oh rats.
ReplyDeleteI feel I shouldn't like the jug but I do, feels like a guilty pleasure.
ReplyDeleteSo glad the post titles were of actual use, that's just the sort of challenge I like to use to avoid my work and spend some dreamy silly moments thinking up (not so) daft stuff.
Ok, I've listed the dandelion - and there's a few more bits-and-bobs to come too.
ReplyDeleteYou're so good at titles Madeleine! And I think I might be rubbish at them so they're always gratefully received.
