I came away laden with clothes; feather cushions; fabric; kilner jars and quite possibly my best ever charity shop find.
For ages I've been looking for something to put on the dresser to store our keys. They are forever getting chucked down, abandoned all over the place, cluttering up the worktops and inevitably getting lost.
So this is just perfect. Somewhere to keep our keys nice and safe, and we'll always know where they are. I wonder what the mother-in-law will make of it?
Personally, I think it's bright and cheery and I love the positive optimism of the thumbs up. Best value for money ever as it only cost me 45p.
Please do leave your links below of any second-hand finds, and I'll check right back just as soon as I've watered my pampas grass in the front garden.
You have just given me a great but obvious idea for keeping our keys safe. Will be on the lookout for a cool plate like yours on my next thrift!
ReplyDeleteThis will be perfect for depositing keys!!!!
ReplyDeletePerfect indeed :0)
DeleteI actually just spat my tea over my keyboard.
ReplyDeleteWho made that plate in the first place?!!!

ReplyDeletePerfect find eh? I was going to keep it for high days and holidays, but what the hell..?
DeleteIt's amazing. I think you should use it for apple crumble.. or dips or something.
Delete*snorts pepsi max into keyboard*
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to put a box of Daz in the window as well.

ReplyDeleteThat is amazing! I think it's possibly to do with this... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Vaughan_%28comedian%29 (the bit about catchphrases) because I remember older relatives doing the thumbs up/down/swinging/dodgy thing - although they could have been part of the pampas grass brigade, heaven forbid!
ReplyDeleteIt's a definite conversation piece.
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful to find some blogs down this end of the hemisphere! Have I linked correctly? Maybe, maybe not. Anyway, I'm enjoying your blog and think that at 45p, this is very baragin worth. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteI like it. Really had fun reading this post.
ReplyDeletethat's a great find :) sounds like it was one of those treasure trove type carboot sales!
ReplyDeleteGreat find. I love that it adds a touch of fun to something as dull as keys. :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha-this is great!What a find!
ReplyDeleteThis gave me a giggle! If I were to have something like that, my MIL would be horrified. We already have a disastrous relationship so I think that would be the icing on the proverbial cake. Although....I would do it just to see the look on her face ;) .
ReplyDeleteIt's the best plate I have ever, ever seen.
ReplyDelete(I MISS MAGPIE MONDAYS I HAVEN'T JOINED IN FOR YONKS WAAAH)
You should definitely bring that plate out for parties!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! We have a plastic box, but this is totally epic!
ReplyDeleteLoved this first time round, must have read on my ipad if not commented sooner :) x
