A Country Town Charity Shop


I found a couple of things in a neighbouring country town  church charity shop

A "James Kent Longton" dish for my collection $1.00


A pretty bottle with swags all the way around it 50c



A "Spring Flowers" Pyrex dish to add to my bowl collection $2.00










Our huge Golden Elm is flowering



looks like we might get some cherries this year...I love cherry blossom



Grazing in the sun





On rabbit patrol



Over the back fence and across the apple orchard





Last of the camellias

      Thanks Jayne...I used think Longton was the pattern when I saw it marked on the bottom of dishes
