Weddings And Some Finds

This past week has been busy.  My sister and I went shopping, she's my matron of honor so she needs a dress for the wedding and I'm still looking for the right dress. We went for so long without any weddings in the family and in less than one year theres going to be three.  My nephew got married last November, my cousin next Sunday and me in October.  Weddings are everywhere.  I had to drag the fiancé to the men's clothing store or he would go to the wedding next Sunday in jeans and a t-shirt.  I did manage to make it to a few second hand stores.

I almost missed this apron if I hadn't back tracked at the local Salvation Army store it wouldn't have been in this picture.

I have never seen blue Cornflower Corning Ware mugs before so these were a nice find.

These pictures are from a May 01st 1965 advertising section of a weekend Magazine featuring 'Terylene clothing sold at the time in Eaton's stores across Canada.

My nephew had his say on two things at his wedding their wedding cake was Pac man and the shoes he wore.

This is the dress I'm planning to wear to my cousins wedding.

Wedding Update:

I stopped and got some cake samples no luck there the search continues.

Lucy in Langley, British Columbia is my new favourite dress shop I took my sister there and she got a dress to wear for my wedding.

Thank you for taking the time to visit.

British Finds And More

On Monday May the 20th its Victoria Day here in British Columbia, Canada so I thought I would post some British items I have found.

This lovely cup and saucer is by Alfred Meakin of England.  The only thing I could find the pattern being called was Bird and Flower.  If you know the pattern name I would love to know what it is.  I found the teabag holder at a local secondhand store, I've never seen one like this so I had to buy it.

The first picture is postcards of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd and her family.
The second picture is of a biscuit tin of Trafalgar Square and in front is a toy model of a double decker bus, Harrods delivery truck and a mini.
I found the photo of King George the 6st and Queen Elizabeth on tour in Vancouver, British Columbia May 24th 1939 in an old album I found in a local secondhand store.
I was at a flea market when I found this tray of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd.  The vendor who I bought it off of is one of my favourites to barter with.

This paperweight was a garage sale find.  It does have a sticker on the bottom but it is to faded to read.  It's a great addition to my collection.

The two yellow Pyrex dishes are the small dishes from the refrigerator set I found both with the lids.  The salt and pepper shakers in Corning Ware in the Blue Cornflower pattern.  And a Corning Ware 4 Cup Starburst coffee carafe.
