On our recent trip to the sea (on a reconnaissance trip to visit our 2nd caravan - more of that another time) we popped into a local garage sale. Good thing we did, because on the counter I spied these beauties. Lifebuoy souvenirs of the voyage on 'SS Himalaya' P&O Lines, London 1961. Perfect for my sailor doll collection, and only $2 for the pair. Bargain!
Thanks for poppin in, have a wonderful weekend, Tam x

Great find Tam, my Dad has one of those sailor dolls from his childhood, just missing an arm and some face stuffing,ha.
Those are some cool finds....my hubby would love them being a shipping nut!
Can't believe you only paid $2.00 bucks for the pair...what an absolute bargain. You really do find the best things...loved your story on the sailor dolls too.Is it Braidwood markets this weekend?? Anyway hope it's fantastic whatever you're up too:-))
Hi to you Treasured Past, just read your comment. Glad your watching Broadchurch, I am enjoying too, not too sure at first but got into it now.
My daughter and I did a bit of stalking when they were filming, which was great, its strange seeing the place you live on telly, but the locals dont speak with that awful accent theyve got them doing. The town bit where the newspaper office is and the house, is in Bristol and theyve joined it all together. Some of the cast and crew stayed at the hotel where I work. Nice to know its reached the other side of the world. Do you like our coastline, its pretty dramatic and wild sometimes. Will be following you too now. Julie xxx
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! That's what ye call a bargain!
(love your nautical trio Tam)
Well spotted Tam...a bargain is right!!
We found a sailor doll at a garage sale for 50c back when David was a baby...funny he's always loved it & I think he's still got it (he's almost 24 now!)
Have a great weekend & what is this about a second caravan??!! Much love Catherine x0x0x
He is a cutie isn't he! They go together like salt and pepper. Great find at a steal of a price.
Hi Tamara, sempre meravigliose cose antiche! Buon fine settimana anche a te! :):)
Un abbraccio, *Maristella*.
I just found one of those sailor dolls. How many do you have?
