The Lady in the Post Office might want to watch a few episodes of Postman Pat.
Just to cheer her up a bit.
Remind her that some people employed in service industries are happy in their work, with finely honed people skills, a ready smile and ‘can do’ attitude.
I realise it’s a busy time of the year. And the queues are long, and punters are daft. But really, if you hate your job that much, it’s time to lick your last stamp.
I asked a question, maybe a stupid question. Like, what’s the difference between SIGNED FOR DELIVERY and REGISTERED DELIVERY. Just asking, politely, in a polite way.
She said (snarled):
‘One is SIGNED FOR, and one is REGISTERED’.
Well I never. Who knew? So I said,
‘Right, OK, I see.’ And bought the cheapest.

Triskelion
Quocunque jeceris stabit
The latin motto of the Isle of Man translates to – whichever way you throw it, it will stand. But best not to throw this little toby jug, as it is made of bisque and wouldn’t be very happy. It’s a very unusual object featuring the Manx man and cat and to the other side a brace of herring, alluding to the national dish of Spuds and Herrin. Mmmmm.
Herring
A lovely object, rare Victorian, Staffordshire.
He’s available here, right now, right here. SOLD
What is the female equivalent of Del Boy and Rodders?
I think we might be it @altvtgmarket
Lots of browsers. Lots of rain. Lots of wafting fried onion from the bbq chicken stand. Lots of people buying grub and booze. Lots of angst from the guitarist.
Next year we’re doing Christmas fudge and mulled wine.
Defo where the dollar is.
Gorgeous jolly Santas, in their scarlet glittery tunics. Can’t help but make you smile! 1950’s.
Reminds me of my favourite film.
Miracle on 34th Street.
No not the really cheesy one with Richard Attenborough – the 1947 version with Edmund Gwenn as Kris Kringle:
Gwenn won an Academy Award for his supporting role. Look out for it this Chrimbo. Then put your feet up with a large egg nog and enjoy!

Curly Larry Mo
These 1950’s Christmas Teddy Bears are beyond cute. They are covered in furry flock, and have definitely seen some action. Back in their day Noel was a bag of nuts, a satsuma, and a new sixpence, if you were lucky!
Are you having a vintage Christmas? treat yourself, they will look fab on a tinsel tree.
There’s a whiff of Rilakkuma about them – the infamous Japanese bear:

Va Va Vintage Santa
Perfect glass tumblers for your Egg Nog or Mulled Wine this Chrimbo.
Lovely stocking fillers. Lots of HoHoHo! And not expensive either!
1960’s glasses, Santa on one side, and his sleigh on the other, with rather a lot of snowflakes…
It’s not fat free, or alcohol free, but it is very retro:
The best recipe for Egg Nog EVER!

Owl ring swarovski crystals
Gorgeous owl ring in sparkling crystals, with wide stary enamel eyes. He’s very cute, and the photograph doesn’t do it justice, he catches the light beautifully. He has an adjustable shank. Look at more photos here.
Papier mache pussy
This little chap is a vintage papier mache cat from the 1950’s. He’s in lovely condition, and looking for a new home. Hopefully somewhere with owl. His new best friend. They can sail off into the sunset together….

That’s not knitting!
Back to the Artisan market on Sunday. Who knew Altrincham had such allure?
Busy and buzzy, some fabulous produce, Troffel truffles were to die for, Farmer’s Wife was dishing out amazing looking hot dogs, and we couldn’t resist the hot cider and calvados stall – no wonder these two are smiling, the fumes alone could knock you out at 40 paces:
