Remember when?!



As visitors to the shop already know, it is small and not very perfectly formed. What I would really enjoy doing, given more space, is to offer a comfy corner for you to catch up with all of those old comics, Enid Blytons. Biggles, Bobbsey Twins, Nancy Drews etc. etc.
Oh well it's nice to dream ... meanwhile you are really welcome to call in and browse:)







As I'm always saying to visitors to the shop, when you start to browse through the old comics, books and annuals you will start to remember things which you never even realised you'd forgotten! ... If you see what I mean:)

    I can imagine how lovely that is! Thanks for your kind comments on my blog.

    Son 1 tells me he spotted an Enid Blyton in French at the Vide Greniers yesterday. I tried to get him to think about how old it was, but he seemed unreceptive to the question, and I never went back to check it. I wonder if they were translated quickly, or if you don't get vintage French versions?

    Oh how lovely.

    I am really looking forward to popping down to Totnes at some point in the summer.

    I loved the 'Bunty' and 'Judy' mags...and to get an annual at Christmas was a real treat!
    I think the very first comic I had was 'Jack and Jill'...I loved that too!

    You are right just by looking at the things you remember things that are obviously stored in our brains but just need a nudge to remind us. I love the ladybird bits and bobs for my friends recent 40th birthday I got her the mug and the coasters. She loved them. I love you shop thank you for sharing it with me x

    I've been browsing through my vast collection of old magazines this afternoon whilst sitting in the garden (what could be more perfect than lovely magazines, a sunny day in an English garden - no matter how small - and a cup of tea?)
    And what did I find? A feqture on Jayne Soule and Michele Chivers, 'vintage' bloggers, in the November 2008 issue of BBC Homes & Antiques, so soon after you, Lesley, had mentioned the Vintage and Hand Made Fair to me!

    THANKS FOR STOPPING BT MY BLOG. YOUR SHOP LOOKS SO FUN AND INTERESTING. I IMAGINE IT'S NOT A PLACE TO GO IF ONE IS IN A HURRY! THERE'S TOO MANY INTERESTING THINGS TO LOOK AT! LOVED YOUR STORY ABOUT YOUR STATUE AND THE CAT, BUT I DO SEE A TINY START TO AN ITTY BITTY BIKINI TOP! MAY BE WE'LL BUMP INTO EACH OTHER AT THE FAIRE ON SAT. I MIGHT BE ONE OF THE FEW WITH AN AMERICAN ACCENT.
