Fantastic collection! I'm pretty sure that moth is called a heart and dart, but google that to check! I love the 'table' in the CS window... that's one way to solve shelf space problems. I was hoping to find some 'sticking up nails' for my photo, but had no luck. I'll look forward to hearing about Formby... I thought the red squirrel place had closed to the public, but after the teaser photo at the end of your last post, I guess I was wrong. Dave's mum lives in Neston, on the Wirral, so we went to Formby about 6 years or so ago and I loved it. I'd like to re-visit.
ReplyDeleteJust realised it's a large yellow underwing, not a H&D moth - silly me, brain not in gear! When they open their wings they reveal a flash of yellow on the underwings, a warning to predators, hence the name.
DeleteLovely set of photos, the old lock is great, and like the display in the second hand shop. Could make quite a few tables with my books :)

These are great, Julie! I got such a kick out of the street sign. People are posting all these cool locks, including you! Have a good one! x
ReplyDeleteSuch a lot of colour in your mum and dad's garden, mine has mostly finished now, except for the Michaelmas daisies. x
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, especially swings and lock!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love that one for Game! What a clever window display. I also love Garden, and the rugged old Lock.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in this months scavenger hunt. Nails, lock, hat and S are great. Greenthumb
ReplyDeleteI love game! What a great window display x
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, I like the window display especially, that is great isn't it. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm always tempted to join in with these, and love to see how different people interpret the same words. That photo of the old lock is great, and I love that original window display with the books and lamp. x
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking at your wonderful selection of photos. The stained glass lamp is eye catching, and must look lovely when lit. That is one crusty old lock that will remain locked! Compliments to your parents on their bright and tidy garden :) I also love the look of the window display... hope someone doesn't decide to pluck a book ;)
ReplyDeleteGREAT photos!!! I love the rusty lock- it's so grubby!!! The nails look pretty grim too- you captured the rust brilliantly, such a textured shot! The duck sign is really cool and that front garden is immaculate!!! Wow!x
ReplyDeleteGreat interpretations - love the monopoly game board.
