Charity Shop Treasure Hunting- Holywood
/
Holywood's maypole
Another instalment of charity shop visits, this time Holywood. They have about six or seven shops, and some vintage antique shops too.
Its a nice little afternoon out too, with lots of quaint coffee shops, specialty delis, and independent boutiques.
Vintage My Little Ponies. I also spotted a Rugrats doll- the ginger one? I want to say Chuckie?
Lovely Irish linen
Royal wedding stuff is uber kitsch collectible. Charles & Diana trays, plates, moneyboxes, etc.
More original packaging. Check out the top left suggestion of how to use your push-light. Fancy dinner time.
The following items, apart from the last, are all from an antique shop beside the maypole. They are priced up accordingly, so you will pay more than a charity shop price if you want to go buy anything I show.
I love the bird cage. It's a really big home interior trend to have bronze metal accessories, so this would be a show stopping centre piece of a room. There's even a bird in the cage.
The pair of dogs is a classic kitsch decoration and they come in all colours. It's a 60s/70s 'every home has them' furnishing, like paintings of gypsy kids by Dallas Simpson, or three flying ducks on the wall.
And there's me!
Lastly, I like to finish with the weirdest thing I spot, like last week's Mona Lisa, so here she is!
