I opened the lid ... and took a sharp intake of
breath!!!! This is what I saw ......
Just lying on the top were two of the most vintagy patterns
I have ever had the pleasure to see ... and they are just what's on top. I was so excited, I was almost
hyperventilating as I forgot to exhale the sharp intake of breath!
I was out all day and got back late so didn't have much time
to rummage through the rest.
I awoke early today, as excited as a child on Christmas
morning, and if it hadn't been so cold I would have got up there and then to
check out what else was in the breadbin!
I've taken some photographs of the two I've looked at so far-
this transfer pattern is from Christmas 1912 - one hundred years ago -
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't think there is going to be much work done here today!
Keep tuned in to find out what else I discover in ..... Pandora's
Breadbin!!!!!
Love, Liz

Blackbird Has Spoken - come and see what everyone else has been finding.

Oh how exciting! What a fabulous find. Any love letters or faded photos amongst it all?!!
1912?!! blimey, it's impressive its survived-i presume it's made of the same, very tissue-y stuff the later ones were made from? love the granny pic too-'nowerdays' it looks like les dawson in drag but it was probably the height of sophisticated advertising back then!
thanks for linking up liz x
What a little treasure trove you've been given Liz......
So nice to find the unexpected sometimes.

You received an early Christmas. How exciting and what finds!
Wow, lucky you indeedy! M x
What a lovely gift. Have fun.
That is amazing that it has lasted since 1912... I wonder how many times it has used and the hands it has passed through. What an amazing find, must be treasured xx
Oh wow, what an amazing find! Btw, I saw your contribution in Pretty Nostalgic, congrats for getting printed, and nice to see someone I recognise!
Lots of vintage treasure here Liz... love the Granny pic - had a little chuckle!!. Woolly comforts - such a cute title!. x Tina
Wow, the patterns are beautiful works of art in their own right, too, unlike the PDF files of today! Looking forward to seeing what other treasure reside within! x
What a fantastic find, I'm green with envy ;D Linda x
Colour me green ... what luck indeed!!!
I just wrote a post about the possible misuse/overuse of the word vintage ... this, of course, is proper vintage, and wonderful!
of course I didn' think it was you - but... now you've got the patterns you can make shawls galore. Those old magazines look fabulous x
