Lesley's Loot

This beautiful hand knitted neck scarf can be fastened with a button and looks not dissimilar to one of those ruffs people wore during the reign of Elizabeth I in the 16 th Century.  

Some people still wear these masks used in the pandemic if they’re vulnerable to caching Covid still. Covid has never completed strayed from our daily lives and is often still referred to in the news. There's a time before and a time after the virus and it’s still possible to catch it, even now. Of course in the near future it’s very probable that something like this won’t happen again. Let’s hope it doesn’t end up with another lockdown.

Today another war is raging on th is earth . Th i s tim e it’s in the middle east. It’s an age old war that’s never properly stopped; it’ s basically about keeping Palestine separate f ro m Israel . There has been a lot of demonstrations taking place nationally which is why this sticker was created; it’s protesting against Israel suppressing Palestine. Palestine used to be known as the Holy Land and it was here that two religions were born: Judaism and Christianity causing a division within the area which has been governed by many nations including Rome and Egypt and most recently the Britain empire. Since 1948 this region was separated out into three area states : Israel , Ga z a and the West bank causing a strain on culture, commerce, and politics.   

This home-made keyring is a good way to introduce kids to climate change. Not sure about where the colours came from but everything else is ethically wholesome. You can purchase packs of sliced ready to use wooden pieces that can be painted; great for kids workshops or scouts.   

Aargh! this little key ring comes complete with three little peas housed in their pod.

These were dropped and left on a wall however after around five days they’ve never been reunited with their owner. They come as a complete pair but have since been dropped onto the floor again and getting rained and trodden on in the process. Therefore I’ve decided to give them a new home as they’re almost brand new.

This was left on a wall and was perhaps found by one of the workman who are currently digging up the road round here in order to lay pipping for a near by housing development. There is so much of this happening in and around this city these days. It’s a good find and may well have been intended for a passing child on their way to school; something for the show and tell part of the day. It’s an old relic from the past, equivalent to the vape these days.  

This find was once attached to one of the many Harry Potter branded products; a multi million business empire bourn out of a series of books published in the 1990’s about a boy wizard and his magical adventures.  

Wow this is a cool find in excellent condition. I’m wandering if it came all the way from a holiday in the USA; nice to think it could be but most likely bought online like a lot of things these days taking away a bit of the nostalgia. If you were to purchase this from the official site it’s worth around £10 but that’s not including P&P either!
