"A present from Scarboro"!

There's always a bargain to be had at Portobello Rd and Golborne road flea market...
...from old printing blocks to vintage handbags and nursing chairs...

...if you have a good rummage through the house clearance boxes, you never know what you might find... 
...this trader was a dog! All haggling/paying for these cushions was done through the van window...
....once the goodies were taken home and washed (& inspected by OT!), I had a pair of fairly old, cross-stitched by hand cushions for £1 and some china....

...I'm always on the look out for old shamrock pottery so was delighted to find an irish saucer! I've recently taken a fancy to old, twee souvenir china, like the mug pictured. Was happy to pay 50p for the floral "present from Scarboro"!!
