Frenzy by Marx... now this is something I hadn't come across before, so I had to do a bit of research. I was surprised to discover that I'm actually too young to remember it, as it dates back to the mid to late 1970s.

It's a great little skill game. You start with six ball bearings at the top, then carefully guide them down through each level, trying to rack up the highest score possible.

I've had a few goes myself, and it's surprisingly addictive!

This one's in average condition for something that's around 50 years old. The plastic front has a crack, but all of the original decals are still there, which is impressive considering it was a kids' game that's probably entertained a few generations over the years.

A neat piece of 1970s nostalgia that's still just as fun today. In the shop Friday.

What's happening in July?

We're taking a couple of weekends off over the next month, but not just yet!

🟢 Open:
• 3rd–5th July
• 10th–12th July (closing at 3:00pm on Sunday 12th)

We'll let you know what the plan is after that.

Don't worry though—we won't be sitting around while we're closed! We'll still be out hunting for new treasures and interesting finds, so there'll be plenty of fresh vintage goodness waiting for you when we're back. Thanks for all your support, and we'll see you over the next couple of weeks!

Just had a bit of a move around and put all the different sizes of these Kaaru glasses together. Ten minutes later, the tall and medium sizes were out the door!

Looks like I'll have to find something else to fill those empty spaces. That's a pretty good problem to have though.

Thanks to everyone who's been popping in lately. It's been great seeing so many vintage lovers finding pieces for their homes.

The Tupperware tower has been looking a little empty lately, so it's time for a restock!

Back on the shelves are plenty of those fantastic 70s colours, including the classic beetroot container, a couple of jugs, a meat saver, and a few other handy vintage kitchen pieces. We've also put out a hamburger press with 8 storage containers, some mugs, and a few other bits and pieces.

Whether you're replacing a piece you've had for years, adding to your collection, or just love that retro look, there's something here worth checking out.

Pop in and have a browse before your favourite piece disappears!

Hopefully, there'll be plenty of new stock hitting the shelves today... although that depends on how many customers come through the door! If the last couple of days are anything to go by, I probably won't get as much priced and out as I'd planned. But that's a pretty good problem to have.

One of my favourite finds this week has to be the Frigidaire ice cube tray. It looks like it was taken straight out of a fridge, tucked away, and never used again. Those are the kinds of vintage treasures I love finding. It pairs up perfectly with the little automatic bar tongs, still in their original box, ready for "ice, cherries and olives."

Also heading out today are a couple of great sets of Kaaru glasses, some lovely Crown Lynn trios, a cute little chipmunk children's mug, a large kitten cake tin, and a fun set of butterfly tall glasses.

All this, and hopefully plenty more, to fill those empty spaces you guys keep making! We really don't mind though—it's great to see these pieces finding new homes.

Busy day down at the shop today, with plenty happening and a bit of time spent out hunting for fresh stock. Found a few nice treasures, but these beauties actually came in last week.

This gorgeous set of six vintage glasses features frosted gold detailing with elegant gold bands and a fantastic mid-century shape. They're the sort of glasses that instantly lift a vintage bar, drinks trolley, or cocktail cabinet, bringing a touch of style and sophistication from the past that's just as eye-catching today.

Perfect for your favourite evening tipple or simply displayed as part of your vintage collection. 🍸✨

Just been getting this fantastic drinks tray all cleaned up and ready to hit the shelves.

A great piece of mid-century design, it features a distinctive textured pattern of overlapping circles that catches the light beautifully. The chrome handles and sleek oval shape give it that classic 1950s–60s look, making it just as good on display as it is serving up your favourite drinks.

Whether you're a mid-century collector, love a good cocktail night, or just appreciate quality vintage homewares, this is a real eye-catcher.

Available now in the shop before someone else snaps it up! 🍸✨

Tony Tiger, Toucan Sam and Corny the Rooster – the Kellogg's crew from the 90s. The only one missing is Snap, Crackle & Pop, who featured on the fourth bowl in the series.

These three are all in great condition for being around 30 years old, with bright colours and minimal signs of use. I also have an extra Tony and Corny bowl available that have seen a little more breakfast action over the years, so they're priced a bit lower.

Whether you're a Kellogg's collector, a fan of 90s advertising memorabilia, or just want a fun cereal bowl for your morning cornflakes, these are a great blast from the past.

These and plenty more treasures are being priced up and hitting the shelves today.
