Flea Market, Chesterfield

Narcissi and tulip
flowering in a window box -
teapot inside



Market sale find -
A writer's desk teapot
for fifty pence







Railway signs
Penalties won't exceed
forty shillings




Gin trap
I was tempted
to leave it set









Cigar selling Mr. Punch
Made of cast iron pieces
and set on tiny wheels

Preciosu tea pot, although it looks very small. I still hope you pounced on the bargain.

Rachel Green said...

It was tiny - the cup behind was the whole pot.

I do love the pot. No wonder you couldn't resist.

Rachel Green said...

If it were anything but a writer's desk...

Oooooooh! I collect teapots and that is a truly great find Rachel! Wooohooooo!!!!! Where will you put it?

Rachel Green said...

I've no idea -- I'm not one for ornaments, really.

Rachel Green said...

I did - the one just behind it.
