What's getting the once over today

A few of the different things getting cleaned today.
Amazing old train carriage light. Would have been wall mounted.


Wembley Wall Vase or as I say,  Cockatoo goodness.
A different kind of goodness, as in "Oh my goodness". Vintage collectable Cribbage Boards.
Not sure what to think about the "One Way" sign. Hmmm  I think look away fast maybe.
Keeping the "Oh my" theme. Vintage swizzle sticks from the 60's. A different one for every age of a lady...you get the idea!

Lovely totally unoffensive old  typewriter
The charming tartany exterior is not original but I think looks pretty spiff so I didn't try and remove it.
Drool worthy keys...I did actually momentarily think..."I could remove them and make one of those amazing necklaces or bracelets people make." But I would just destroy a lovely typewriter and no doubt never make a bracelet. But have you seen those lovely bracelets made from typewriter keys ? I love them! Hope you have a super dooper weekend. There are changes underway at the Garden Centre....I know does anything ever stay the same ? Ha. Will tell you more about it soon.

    I bought some typewriter cufflinks and tie pins for Carl, he wears them to work. They are fantastic.

  9. Hi Katherine! It has been awhile...so glad you stopped by AG!!! (and yes, DB is still playing drums...thankfully NOT at my house anymore!!!)

    I love your finds. Those swizzle sticks made me laugh out loud! And that cribbage board with the "one way" sign...hmmmmmm. I've never seen anything quite like these items.

    Hope you are doing well...and that you have a wonderful Mother's Day.
    Smiles,
    Jane

  11. Where are my manners? Just because I'm a break doesn't mean I can't visit my blog friends. I've found some pretty cool stuff lately too. I hope that all has been well.
