Does anyone want to share a list of the things they are looking out for in charity shops? Mine is as follows ..
A wooden musical box that looks like a grand piano, preferably with a Spanish dancer painted on the lid. I had one as a child!
A welsh wool cape
Delft Amsterdam houses
Folkmanis hand puppets
Mexican silver jewellery.
Picture books about different destinations ie 'This is London' , 'This is New York' and so on.
A vintage bust of the Queen. I already have Prince Philip.
I have a ceramic statue of Jo from Little Women. Apparently the other girls are out there somewhere too.

well I thought I’d found the exact (Jaeger) dress I wanted for grandchildren’s christening on the Oxfam EBay website - v low start price but was prepared to go to full shop price - Unfortunately Oxfam have organised ‘shill’ bidders on EBay and dress went for double original cost - same shill bidding pattern on other high value items that Oxfam have listed 🤬 I’ve raised a complaint 👍🏿☘️ Other than that incident I look for Pyrex - Books and toys - which I bought this am in Batnardos Wavertree - lovely shop and fab staff 🙏🏽☘️👍🏿
