Treasures

My Grandmother on my Mother’s side was an inveterate collector and loved going to Garage Sales. Judith’s paternal Grandmother had a similar nature and that is where I gather we have collectively found our love for second hand things also known as OTHER PEOPLE’S JUNK

Over the last 15 years we have been stationary in one place, and have adorned our COSY COTTAGE with lots of TREASURES

This page is so that we can remember what we have collected and also that maybe others can get home ideas from it
