Second hand treasures

I went to an estate sale yesterday and found some new-to-me treasures ...
2 Old Britain Castle plates by Johnson Bros England
2 Norfolk plates by Royal Doulton
This is a Willow design by Britannia Pottery
I also bought this old suitcase and the clock in the top photo.  I love all my purchases, only $35 for the lot.  I will get Paul to add some wood beading to our mini-hutch so I can safely display the plates.  I'm thinking I might line the inside of the suitcase with some nice paper and then find the perfect spot for it and decide what to store in it, maybe my growing supply of patterns?!
Thanks to Melody for hosting Tuesday Treasures, for more treasures visit Melody at The House on the Side of the Hill.
Happy stitching, Wendy.

  10. What a lovely assortment of treasures- the old suitcase reminds me of the little one I used to take to school (many moons ago!)

  11. You have done well Wendy! Don't you just love old sales.. my husband used to be addicted to clearing sales... the only problem was, he would come home and tell me about really big things he had bought!!!
