On Mondays the Bargain Loft is closed to customers but it is a day for the back room team to make progress on sorting and pricing the many donations which are brought in, especially over the weekend.
We have recently received some donations of jewellery, including many pairs of vintage clip and screw back earrings. It is fun to research these.
The large green hoop earrings are vintage Bakelite and the clear ball earrings are an Art Deco design, known as 'pools of light' - they are in fact undrilled orbs of rock crystal with a band of silver around. They are very sought after, as are the matching necklaces - unfortunately we don't have any of those..
Other items in the Loft today..
This is Maxine - a cartoon character here. Note the slippers. Note also that ladies of a certain age in the US don't have hot flushes, they have hot 'flashes'.
I think that having these vintage perfume bottles on sale - still half full of the original contents - is probably a mistake. They are really being sold just for the bottle but several people have opened them and splashed them around and they don't smell as good as, presumably, they once did!
