Flash Trash Treasures are always there!

During my holidays, I usually check all my favourite haunts.

That would be about ten different shops in our area.  Some I visit twice, just in case.

This is a shot of the only four crockery items I bought. The rest of my purchases were clothing.

Here we have:

• a very cute, little blue glass jug. I have a lot of small jugs, that I hope my family will like, one day???
• a 70s ash tray or serving plate, maybe ...
• a Holly Hobbie, jewellery box. I have been collecting this for my daughter who had these things in her childhood. She is putting together a collection for her little girl.
• a friends plate, John Sands, Made in Japan.  I always pick up these plates if they are $2.00 or less.

Returning to writing about collecting after a longish break

My last post was on 11 April 2011. 

During that time, I have not totally abandoned collecting the usual "flash trash", but I have certainly reduced the amount I have been buying.

I don't go to garage sales very often now.  Just visit the usual opp. shops and only buy things that resemble the bargains of past years.

If it is over $2.00, I have to covet it very much.  I am running out of space ... pity!

So, now I have set up my first return post.  I will publish and pledge to return very soon with a listing of some of them gems I have found.
