It’s a while since we did one of our Forthcoming Attractions posts – it features items that we’ve picked up in the previous week that were in the process of photographing & cataloging – items that will hit our website in the very near future.

Some nice bright pottery to start – the slender jug or bud vase is from the Saga range by Figgjo Flint – the cheery floral jug was produced by Sadler in the 1960s.

We love this vintage 1950s lemonade/water jug – very ‘Festival of Britain’.

The Viners Splayds come in their original packaging – perfect for garden parties & barbecues. And not one, but two Welsh Wool purses bought off the same stall – their colours & patterns are so distinctive.

It all sits on a beech coloured table – it’s part of a picnic/camping set with which comes with 4 canvas stools – and which all folds up to form the carry case.  Ideal for the car boot or camper van!
