Every item in our shop has a story we’ll never fully know.

This week alone we’ve had a 1958 childhood development textbook, a set of Enid Blyton mysteries someone clearly loved to bits, and a rooster-shaped jug that’s survived more house moves than most marriages. We just get to be the next chapter before it finds a new home.

What’s one secondhand or vintage find you’ve bought that turned out to have a story (or a mystery) attached to it — and did you ever find out more?
