Post a picture to prevent hackers? Mmmmm…. What if putting a photo up actually encourages the footpads and scallywags to steal all our pictures for wanted posters and then hunt us down for the bounty?
I’ll give up the whereabouts of a few of you on here in exchange for one or two fabulous vintage items I’ve seen recently 😆

Well, I’ll give IG the benefit of the doubt and this picture is only 3 months old so you’ll all recognise me.
Unless you’re an algorithm that’s doing the thieving then we are all doomed 😄

I may put up a picture of Mr Dusty later just to fool the system 💪🏼

A trip to the department store or doctors surgery would have found you using this cupboard if you wanted a towel to dry your hands

Hired out to businesses, these cupboards would be on loan and then the bailee would pay to restock with towels, potions and unctions.

The 2023 versions are electric hand blowers or paper towels in plastic dispensers still supplied by the same company!

This oak cupboard has been painted inside in a trendy greige and has a delightfully foxed bevelled mirror, original label and k**b.

Please see the photos as it does have a stained top and a small piece missing from the rear top right hand side (but in my opinion this doesn’t detract from its appeal!)

Approx
H 55cm
W 41cm
D 16cm

£98 plus delivery

If you want to use this French wall mountable measuring jug for plants then all you have to do is b**g up the end with blue tack- it works, I’ve tried it 😬

BUTLERS TRAY

A butler is a chief man servant whereas a valet is a personal male attendant

I’d take either. Or both.

I see it going something like this;
“ Carry on, Mr Dusty “
“ Very good, Ma’am”

In reality;
“ Have you put the bins out?”
“No! I’ve only got one pair of hands woman!”

😬

Anyway, here we have a lovely oak butlers tray table that I’m sure Mr Carson at Downton would be happy with

The tray is reversible, transforming into a card / side table

And a super useful shelf to boot!

Despite showing age related wear on the tray underside and a small repair to the frame this is such an unusual and practical tray table

I’m back 🥳

You may have noticed an absence on my part - not intentional - but I’ve been a bit poorly since I caught covid and have ended up with an issue or two. Blasted covid 😡

Anyway, onwards and upwards!

I actually like January as it’s my daughters birthday this month so I always have something to look forward to after the Christmas decorations have been packed away.
What I am absolutely not fan of is the abject refusal of my backside to fit into my jeans which have obviously shrunk over the holidays… 🤨(perhaps I should give myself a cycle on a hot wash!)

In other news, I have a garage full of treasures that I am actually hanging on to for a while (sorry!) as Mr Dusty and I have decided to buy a little holiday cottage rental (borrower proportions to suit our budget😬) and therefore am hanging fire on selling some of the furniture items just in case they’re suitable for our new venture.
(I will be having a little sale of smaller items so keep your eyes peeled 👀)

Our dream cottage was to be in Devon but we have decided it’s too far away to be able to monitor it satisfactorily from the midlands so we are now looking to buy in the the Peak District.
We haven’t yet found anywhere but will keep you posted and I will be setting up a new account so you can join us on our journey - which I’m sure will consist of hastily snapped photographs, swearing, hair pulling, laughter, angst and hopefully lots of fun along the way. You are cordially invited to give opinions and comments to your hearts content! 🤭

I’m intending to be out and about at the fairs this year- I haven’t been to one since last March!!! Missed you all, and I’m very much looking forward to catching up and having a chat, and hopefully putting a face to the names of those of you on here that I’ve not yet had the pleasure of meeting 😀

Best wishes for the year ahead to you all and thank you for sticking with me 🤩

Spring will soon be here! 💐

WISHING 💫

All my customers, followers, chums, colleagues & fellow vintagers a fabulous Christmas and a Happy & Healthy 2023

Sending huge, heartfelt thanks for absolutely everything you’ve all done in supporting My Dusty Shelf in 2022

I truly wouldn’t be here without you all and I love the community spirit that shines through especially in difficult times - a true support network for everyone🤩

Do you think I would be good at the Oscars/ BAFTA / crufts awards ceremony? 😆

Assuming I won of course 🤔

It’s a wrap!

Lots of Christmas love

DID SOMEBODY SAY CHOCOLATE CAKE? 😋

I would actually sell my offspring in exchange for chocolate😬

I’m down to one child and I did have 17 so I’m hoping to get a bucket full for this remaining swapsie 😏

Is chocolate a thing for you?
Or cheese? Apparently cheese is also worthy of conducting illicit exchanges 😆

Anyway…
Create a festive table centrepiece with this vintage Yule log cake tin if you’re not a fan of baking cake
(quite frankly our friendship is doomed if you fall into this category 🤔)

It’s a decent size at approximately
34 x 20 cm
