You've done well with your purchases, those pre-loved metal vessels will look smashing alongside the auction scales.<br /><br />I often get confused at our tip shop exactly how the pricing works..generally I place things in a pile and then the attendant comes over and says how much for the lot. But what if I want to add more...or see something on the way out? <br /><br />I can't get over those books you found too, amazing what some people will discard!!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204291906401193716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948397622243147877.post-16237323511334562132011-11-07T10:28:45.117+11:002011-11-07T10:28:45.117+11:00Funny you mention the dripping tin Tania.

We were reminiscing last night at how we used to grease the biscuit trays with dripping back in 'those' days. No baking paper back then. Biscuits tasted better I reckon! I have a lot of enamelware too. It's really lovely.<br /><br />Anne xxDomesblissityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07270409725826410919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948397622243147877.post-75960769676657225152011-11-07T10:22:22.452+11:002011-11-07T10:22:22.452+11:00I love tip shops too!!!!
