This weekend….

I will be here selling some sparkles from 12.30 ’til 5.

and on the other side of town the Made in the Shade gals are hosting the puntastic The Tote Modern at The Glue Factory. Go see…but only after coming to see me at the market and buying loads.

Octascope

I bought this at my local charity shop last week. It was under the glass counter and the packaging caught my eye as I paid for my books.

It fragments the image through the viewfinder and it feels like you’re looking through a kaleidoscope but there are no moving parts. Pretty clever. I tried to take a picture through the tiny viewhole but gave up irritated so you’ll just have to take my word for it.

Also in the glass cabinet was a box Tennents Lager coasters decorated with some of the lovely ladies who used to feature on the side of their cans. I ummed and ahhed over them for a bit before leaving without them. If they’re still there on my next visit I might just buy them for my dad. He had a brief spell of collecting the cans before my mum nipped it in the bud.
