With a Story Attached
Vintage
Have you ever wondered what stories the clothes you buy from charity shops could tell you, if they could talk? Have you ever found something intriguing in a pocket? As vintage clothes are as popular as ever, you never know what you might find.
Every Item Has a Story
Do you think about where an item came from, when you buy it in a charity shop? Maybe, if you are buying a pair of men's work shoes, you might try not to think about where they came from. Perhaps it's easier not to know what happened, if you are buying a wedding dress. Don't happy couples keep theirs? Or perhaps the story behind the wedding dress is romantic beyond anything Hollywood have dreamt up. We might not be able to find out what the story is, but we could always make it up. Anything from a till receipt in a back pocket (secret affair), or the original label still attached could get your imagination going. If anything comes up, please post your stories to this blog.

Looking for a portable record player. Have you seen any in Falmouth? Found a Charity shop in Bedminster that sells records for £ 2.50 for 5 but I got a further discount 25 records for £8....I bought Beatles, David Bowie, John Mayall, Eva Fitzgerald, Talking Heads, Country records and musicals. They have thousands so you could probably buy a thousand records for £400 and never be bored of your music collection again!
ReplyDeleteYes! I have. There r heaps of records down here too. Why don't u come down on 27th? There's no one in spare room that weekend.
