Magpie Picks!

La La Little Forks


We love these lovely Little Forks. Rather impractical for modern canapés we admit, but oh so pretty and wonderfully kitsch. They come in their original box and look simply divine next to a shiny bowl of silver skin pickles or (if we’re really trying to impress) olives. We recommend a rather strong Tom Collins or two, and your favourite 78. The perfect combination for a fabulous evening at home.

Magpie Picks!

The first in a regular series of posts where we pick out a few of our favourite things.

Rupert the Bear Scarf

 

A genuine Rupert the Bear branded item, this jolly wool scarf dates from 1980. It's long enough to be worn by an adult and the perfect excuse to gather some chums for an adventure in Nutwood. Or, you know, your nearest park. It never fails to make us smile! 

This little gem will be available to purchase from us at the Bruce Castle vintage fair on the 13th July. Come and see us!
