Buckets & Spades - Open For Business


If you have a keen eye or you follow me on Twitter you may have seen that I've taken the plunge and opened an Esty shop. I've been wanting to for a while, over the last couple of years I've been collecting small home goods, old advertising stuff and stationary. To start with I've got a few vintage milk bottles from in and around the UK. All the products that I'll be selling have been individually sourced and hopefully over the next few weeks I'll be uploading some more interesting odds & sods. I've installed the shop on my side bar on the right so do please take a look.

Currently I'm shipping to the UK and US, hopefully my American chums will be into a bit of British paraphernalia.

I'm a new comer to the Etsy world so if anyone has any advice and tips please do comment below, that would be a massive help.
