Vintage Ice Skates

Hidden in an antique store located in the attic of one of the 14th century buildings in my village square is this pair of vintage ice skates.

I thought they looked fabulous and would love to own them, but I'm being good at the moment saving pennies and they're hardly an essential item.

I had a rummage through old books including a musty smelling set of Ian Fleming James Bond novels, a battered copy of Black Beauty and a dog-eared copy of Gulliver's Travels that was priced at £25 which I thought a bit steep.

Mum and I admired the ladies scarves and crockery sets then I left mum getting the full family history of the shop owner whose grandmother had 13 siblings apparently!

Dad and I looked at some reconditioned wooden furniture and discussed what made an old Lifeboat 'milk box' worth £45 exactly. We agreed one man's trash is another man's treasure.
