FMTSO: Vintage

My week got fuller than I expected with emergency visits to the dentist and whatnot, and I forgot or had no time or energy left to go photo hunting for ‘new’ vintage things…

However, back at Easter I briefly visited an antique shop in the countryside and snapped a few photos of what was on display outside. I think I blogged one or two of the photos before but don’t remember when/where… never mind.

The spinning wheel high up on the wall looked remarkably like one we have in ‘The House’ (my parents’ old place). Obviously ours is not unique then… Was green a common colour for spinning wheels?

Spinning a Yarn Up the Wall

for Shadow Shot Sunday

It’s not every day you find a spinning wheel on a barn wall, spinning shadows, high over your head…

Found this one on the gable of a countryside curiosity shop!

Wordless Wednesday

Doesn’t this look like an object that could inspire someone to build a whole novel around it?

It caught my eye in a second hand (book) shop.
