I also loved the Mallory Towers books.<br />Now, I collect embroidered cloths and old linens, teapots, teasets,old glass (I could go on....!)lavender attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657003264977995092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615153402976288652.post-21230141505004345482012-02-08T14:46:41.556+00:002012-02-08T14:46:41.556+00:00I have been collecting some Wedgewood items for ov...I have been collecting some Wedgewood items for over 30 years, the design is called Meadowsweet and its relatively cheap to buy but I love it and now have quite a lot.I love coming across a new piece!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00462752559193522943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615153402976288652.post-38821855270412872162012-02-08T10:12:35.207+00:002012-02-08T10:12:35.207+00:00I've never heard of The Chalet School series, ...I've never heard of The Chalet School series, but I used to love stories about boarding schools, they always sounded so much fun. You certainly struck lucky in the second hand bookshop, it must be a treasured collection now after all the years it took to complete it.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615153402976288652.post-1272960642694236002012-02-07T21:46:42.672+00:002012-02-07T21:46:42.672+00:00well done you.
