As mentioned yesterday, Aidan bought a Louis Shabner print from a car boot sale last Sunday. Excuse me while I go to ask him how much he paid for it… It was one whole English pound. I’ve been doing a little bit of an internet search, just to see what information there is available about…

Aidan’s Big Booty…
…I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist. I know the exact look that Aidan is going to give me when he sees that title as well. It’s a head shake and, “Ohhhh Emma!” in his Baaarnsley accent, despairing at my pathetic attempts at toilet humour. Yes, I said toilet humour (watched an episode of ‘I’m Alan Partridge this…
Arthur Wood Moneyboxes
There have been some new additions to the Arthur Wood family. First, I found the squirrel in a Glossopian charity shop. Next came the owl, found on a stall at the Newark International Antique Fair. Now, I have a tortoise courtesy of one boyfriend for a birthday present. Funny story with this one though. We’d…
Little Owl Vintage Boot Sale
Well, Sunday’s car boot sale went pretty well. I made about £35 just from the retro vintage side of the stall and we made £70 in total. A few of our friends popped down to see us and one of them, Claire, took some lovely pictures and wrote about it on her own blog and…
Little Owl Vintage is Setting up Shop! (Almost…)
I’ve been thinking about setting up a vintage and retro stall at my local market in Glossop for a while now, but still haven’t got the guts to really go for it! It’s ridiculous: I’ve even found out how much it is but I’ve been stumped by being told I need public indemnity insurance (or…
Auction Viewing With Parents…
On Thursday, my lovely parents came up to visit. They were bringing me my birthday presents (quite early but I won’t see them around then). I’ll post up the best present after this post. We had a little trip to Holmfirth: After that, we headed up to the auction in New Mill. Few interesting bits…
Penny’s Pretty, Potty Pots…
These are some new purchases by my parents: Watch out for the cat appearing… Tyler, the cat, was obviously getting a little bit jealous of the attention the pots were getting! I know that these are Scheurich and the form numbers; however, I know nothing about the glaze as I’ve never seen ones like…
New Scheurich 414
I’ve been exceedingly slack on the blogging front recently. Usual excuse: work. I’m not going to comment any further as it occupies too much of my mind as it is. On a more interesting front, I recently received this: Shocking picture: I do apologise!! Another Ebay purchase; I was a little disappointed when it arrived…
Who Says Brown is Boring? Ask Scheurich…
Ok, as individual pots – these are probably not the best. But as a group… Clockwise from bottom left: Scheurich, unknown form (can’t read the bottom!); 549-21; 517-45; 549-21; and last but never least… 414-16. I don’t know what the glaze is called. Had a quick P&G forum trawl, but nothing so far. Will update when…
Barnsley Booty!
Now that I’m back at school, inevitably, the frequency of posts will go down. No matter: I’ll just store it all up for when I get the chance for a catchup. This is just a little one tonight, as I’m a bit tired and Glee is on very shortly… Last weekend, we went to Barnsley…
Charity Shop Find: Midwinter Dish
Good old Oxfam came up trumps again just before the weekend. This will most likely end up on my Ebay pile, once I get into selling again. I also got a VERY Christmassy woolly jumper from the 80s, but I’ll spare you from the sight of that… My little Midwinter dish is a Fashion Shape…
Christmas Presents from the Parents
We’ve been extremely lucky this year in that we’ve received a fair number of West German pots amongst other retro goodies. Not only did Aidan and I give each other some fantastic things, but both our families also gave us some amazing things. Firstly: the Jarvis side (mine) I’ll save my favourite til last… but…
