We love antiques and junk, unique and individual items, utter clutter, rubbish, skip or carboot finds, antiques and collectables, vintage, hand made, old, quirky.... celebrate stuff collected over the years, inherited, rescued, reinvented and repurposed!
The Egyptians recycled broken pottery into mosaics 3,000 years ago—what’s your excuse? Turn old suitcases into tables or speakers, ladders into bookshelves (or our chickens play ground), and junk into genius! What’s hiding in your shed? #junk #recycle #reinvent #chickensofbluesky

My love of all things old extends to the cars I drive too, this is one of my 2 Volvo 480's. A cute 'wedge of cheese' shape car, quirky and full of character but not so good in flooded country lanes being low to the ground!! #volvo #volvo480 #vintage #classiccars #carandclassic #retro

Word of day is ‘unasinous’ (17th century): united in stupidity.
A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.

I have been researching historic newspapers all afternoon and just found this advertisement from 1893! I'm not sure that is quite the proposal most women are hoping for...! 😆
