Shiny Round My Wrist




Bought these two beauts in Age Concern the other day. The chain bracelet is sterling silver and the coins are old three pence pieces (it's what's carved into them anyway) there's one from 1910, 1918, 1919, 1920, 1938 & 1940, it cost £3. The other is very simple and minimal. I like the stacked bands and its unusual rectangular form £1

Critics Choice









Back in London, one rainy, spring day, I'd been to the market on my clapped out bicycle. On the way back to Wapping, trying not to get mowed down, I came across a small local Car Booty! I chained up the wheels and decided to have a quick look. I'm so pleased I did as I found this amazing box framed scene, complete with ace, tiny detailing- click on the images to enlarge. It's follwed me everywhere, a framed friend. I only wish others were so excited by this marvellous find. Every time I wave it people's faces, it's sad to say they are not impressed. I think it's too granny for them (boom! take that!) they cannot handle it.

What do you think?
