If once a month is not enough to get your rummaging needs met or you are looking for something bigger, our regular stall holder Alexa has a warehouse full of interesting and quality finds. I took a trip out to Danderhall to see for myself after perusing their new website, http://www.retropolisedinburgh.co.uk/
Its just outside Edinburgh at 684 Old Dalkeith Road, turn off the road when you see the shed shop.

In my search for an antique receipt holder (don't ask) I found this amazing website where  the featured 'show and tell' is antique office equipment, which I have a ever expanding collection of (as illustrated by my salvaged Dryad guillotine). Now, I find myself not only searching round carboots and charity shops looking for treasures but also coveting other people's finds on line - can this be healthy? See for yourself... http://www.collectorsweekly.com/

Tea in the Park?

This Saturday is the return of Leith Festival Gala Day on Leith Links and the Drill Hall cafe is taking our monthly Bruncheon event, our coffee machine and plenty of cakes and biscuits down Easter road to join in the fun! 
There are usually quite a few stalls selling all manor of old, new, vintage and handmade items so come along and say hello, have a rummage and enjoy the party. 
(ps. if it rains - music & food back at the drill hall)
