What I Found In A Box

I went to an Antique/Collectors fair which to be honest was more junk than anything else but there were a few gems lurking about if you looked, and look I did for I come across a tatty old box full of bits and pieces.

After I'd bartered with the stall holder and paid quite a bit less than she'd asked  I grabbed my box and was out of the doors like a flash.

Back home I carefully took the things out of the box, one by one, 

a dollies nightie, 

little blue coat and hat,
a pinny 

and some knitted stockings.

So I  washed them all and hung them on the line to dry, very carefully, as they looked like they'd been in there  for years and some of them had holes in them and I didn't want to damage them

Once dry I decided to display my "washing line" in the bathroom, 

where if I say so myself it looks lovely!!

There was loads of other bits in the box like pieces of linen and lace, an old plastic purse with tiny toys inside that you used to find in  Christmas crackers and these old hand knitted mitts,

with the name G E Wright inside, who was that I wonder??

And finally....a wonderful flowered pinny with elasticated waist, I added the doily pocket for my hanky,
talk about gems I'd say "treasure" more like!
