Another trip to the wonderful Flea Market at Tynemouth Station today.
Two gorgeous broaches. The blue one cost me £4 and the pewter shield like one £3.
I also picked up the lovely Paragon demitasse cup. The photograph really doesn't do it justice. It is bone china and only 6cm high. On the base it has a double royal warrant stating "By appointment to HM The Queen & HM Queen Mary. A little research into the backstamp dates this at between 1938 and 1952.
I can just picture this little cup come springtime filled with primroses. (I know! Spring's a while away yet - we've got winter to get through, but I like to dream.)
Best of all was the little price tag to go with this little cup - only £1!!!
Also for the princely sum of £1...
This pretty velveteen case with embroidered insert, and inside?
A practical pocket sewing kit.
I just love it!

Hi, just found your blog. I visit Tynmouth marked each time I am home. Just love it!! Is there anymore markeds nearby? I like the embroidered sewing kit.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your sunday.
Great finds, I love flea markets, solely because everything for sale has been abandoned at some point by its original owner. I get a real thrill from finding something a little mysterious.
ReplyDeleteThe embroidery on the case is so beautiful xxx
Sewing kit is just lovely - a great find!

The pewter brooch and the sewing kit are beautiful, such fab finds. x
ReplyDeleteBargains again. Your demitasse will look lovely with flowers in and the velveteen case is delightful.
