We are open!!!

Well, what a wonderful first week it has been here at Lost & Found! A big thank you to everyone who helped us get to this point and to everyone who's made such lovely donations.
Our opening day event was lots of fun with the Gramophone DJ's setting the tone playing some beautiful 1940's records. It was lovely to see the cast of The Diary of Ann Frank, RADS who came down in 1940's outfits. Vintage Tinsel did some brilliant up do's as you can see from the photos, it was delightful to see young girls running around The Station showing off their victory rolls!   The shop was full to the brim with lots of happy customers having a good rummage through all our bits and bobs, vintage linens were very popular as were our beautiful picnic blankets and railway memorabilia.
Over our first week we have lots more wonderful donations, some items are just getting taken out of their bags, priced, put on display and getting sold straight away. Interesting donations so far have been an old fashioned projector and screen, a Rolls Razor sharpener, vintage golf club, Bakelite View Masters, little Dinkie hairclips, fabulous vintage hats-very popular and some beautiful books. One of my favourites is pictured below which will certainly come in handy if you'd like to learn the 'saucy samba', 'the gay cha-cha-cha' or a 'quick twinkle' , all this knowledge for a bargain £4 :-)
I'm sure you will all be well aware, being the good sons and daughters you are, that it's Mothers Day tomorrow, we will be open 10-5pm so call in for that last minute gift or bring mummy along so she can pick her own treat. If you whisper " I love my mum' to any of our sales team this weekend you can have a 10% discount on your purchases.
