Every thursday there’s a secret place one can go in Edinburgh to buy wonderful things. This place is not well publicised and for good reason. I once wrote about it here on the blog and was berated for ‘spreading the word’ with abandon. Suffice it to say that you need cash, time, and a good strong pair of elbows.<\/p>\n

The following finds are the best of the bunch, and the stories behind them.<\/p>\n

I’m always on the look-out for vintage Tala. They have re-released some of their classic baking products, but its the originals that really are the icing on the cake (he he). So when i saw this quite unusual cake tin, i was not going to let it slip through my fingers. It came to me for \u00a310.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The real beauty is in the restoration job i achieved on it. Here is an instagram of it before i attacked it with bleach (no surprises there). Looks like someone was using it as a tool box (the cheek!). I had to sacrifice the lettering a bit to get the grime off, and then paint them on again afterwards. But it was worth it to bring up that beautiful duck-egg blue colour.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/a>I’ve written about clocks before in this series, but am not intentionally building a collection. However that does appear to be the case… I bid (small clue as to whereabouts) on a box of rubbish and won it for \u00a31. Within it were these fabulous clocks. The first one i absolutely love – looks to be around 1950s in origin, and ties in nicely with my current\u00a0birdie phase<\/a>.
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>These little retro travel clocks were lurking in the bottom of my box of surprises. Aren’t they funky?!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I got these vintage Salter weighing scales for \u00a31. Bargain!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Also in the box – this silver cake stand, plus a centre-handled one to match. I will add this to my very small and reasonable cake stand collection.
