The Shops and Old Post Office

                                                                                    


This wonderful toy shop is the inspiration for my blog listing today, I worked in a very similar shop when I was a teenager which sold textiles, haberdashery and all sorts of other items.

This is my sales blog, all items are for collectors (not toys) Every day I will be listing a different set of items.

 Please feel free to email me at jltg40@btinternet.com if you have any questions. Priced are quoted without postage/shipping, and I am happy to combine shipping for multiple purchases when possible. 

If an item is marked as sold, please email as I may have a similar/same item for sale. Many thanks, Lizzie
