Finds 20/02/2010.




I found this necklace at the weekend on a visit to 'Bygone Times' in Ecclestone. It's real silver, though I'm not sure if it's real Tiffany's... but I only paid as much as I would've for a silver chain of that weight anywhere, so either way I'm happy. On the same trip I picked up some 1950's copies of Woman's Weekly, a 1940's Amateur Photographer, and a 1950's Picture Post.


I also scored two beautiful Victorian photo albums.
 The large one is a photo album proper, whilst the smaller is a collection of carte-de-visite, and they are proving a great source of interest and mystery to me as I have no idea where they came from or who the images are of. 
They appeal to my imagination anyway.


All the best,
A.

Statement of Purpose

Hello Internets,

Nice to meet you.

I am hoping that Scavenger Hunt will gradually become a place for my findings, crafting, and photography... but progress on the blog will be slow at first, as I'm completing the final year of my PhD.
Hopefully, when I have adjusted to normal life again, updates will become more regular, as I will have spare time again (in the land of the thesis there is no spare time, only time you should be spending working).

All the Best,

Alison Jane.
