Giant Flea and Christmas Critters

This lovely toy elephant is just one of a big bagful of critters that came home with me from the Giant Flea Market on Sunday.
They were in a bit of a sorry state but after some stuffing, sewing and prettifying they are ready for new homes for Christmas.
Let me introduce you...
 

 
 
 
Which one would you choose?
I struggled to leave this lot alone. I collect, amongst too many other things, Kleen Kitchenware in green. But this was red so had to stay behind. I was saving my pennies for suitcases, toys and tins.
 
This was another tempting stall but too pricey to sell on.
Love these old playpens.
Yet more tins. You can never have enough tins...
...practical and pretty.
 
PS Giveaway in a day or two I promise!

  3. I love the velvet rabbit too! They are all pretty cute though and I'm sure I would find it hard parting with any of them!

  5. They all look like they've had their fur loved off in their past lives, but hopefully will be lived again. I like them all but the velvet rabbit s my favourite I think? I love the red kitchenware, I wouldn't be been able to walk away from it,

    Love Claire xxx

  6. Ooh they're so cute. Can't choose a fave, is the last one really a roo? We were at Shepton too, saw and ogled those very same things! Funnily enough, I also bought my first piece of green Kleenware from Bridders on Saturday, an old milk jug. Would love to see your collection, pretty please...

  7. Hello again,
    Will look back at the photos in search of Kleenware! There was some more in Bridders if you're tempted! The munch must have been with my dad when you saw him, they talk football constantly.

  9. Am rather taken with Velvet Rabbit - can imagine how snuggly he'd be :)

    Looks a great fair - love the fact that the playpen my parents used for me is now classed as vintage!!

  10. Oh how sweet are those stuffed toys. I can imagine that once upon a time there were loved and cuddled and I am so glad that you have rescued them from goodness knows what fate!
