Quagga

Simply calling Quagga a bookshop is trivialising its notability. I don't think there are sufficient adjectives in the thesaurus to adequately describe its worth. I have waxed on previously here. Put it this way, all I would need is a decent bed, and I could move in quite happily...

My husband said I should call this "Buying at Brimfield with my Husband's Money" (bloody cheek)

Quite a few people have asked me what I bought at Brimfield, and the truthful answer is... not a whole lot. Our house is heaving with material possessions, so I really need to re-edit first, before further acquisition. HOWEVER, one simply cannot leave Brim without some sort of trophy, no matter how trifling...

The three prints below were SUCH a bargain - prices in the single digits!! Each with titles like "Organic Remains of the Niagara Group".

I shall admit it, I am a Crock Tart...

I absolutely adored the wafer-thin copper plates with monogram cut-outs...

And these vintage gambling chips would make great bracelet charms.

Sailor buttons (also for charms)..
