These are some of my lovely things, which I said goodbye to in my shop… You can read more about an object if you put your cursor over an image. Click on the object to see it bigger! Leave a comment at the bottom if you like. More about the treasure coming soon…
how will you survive without all this precious stuff?
I want that whisk come what may… I know a good whisk when I see one!
Yes T, you have a point… I already want to take some of it back.
H you can have the whisk as long as you tell me some of your troubles, and so help me feel a little better about my own life!
Eh what size are them shiny shiny shoes?
Hey over the shoulder satchel bags were all over last Saturday’s Guardian fashion page
Ahah, yes they are all over the mainstream shops too… well, by this I mean the one shop I went into had them. Come and get it in September!
Oh and the shiny shoes are a small size six… very fetching. From the Royal Hospital Sale of Work….
I want the yellow cushion!
YAY I’m five and three quarters!
I’ve always had a soft spot for Eyeore – my inner self can identify with him. May I have him, please? Pretty, pretty please?
hey fiona, this aint no ebay site.. no pre-ordering allowed! and will you really want Eyeore, when you see him in the flesh? We shall see.
Hi Priscilla!
It was really nice meeting you and Irene today. I’m really looking forward to helping out
Hi Priscilla. Look forward to visiting the Help me shop… and I know it is sure to have unbelievable!!! bargins. venue coming soon (aaahh!) I know that so well…. best of luck. David
Hey! David, it will be great to have you visit… I keep on talking about how great the Clonmel Junction café experience was so hopefully Dublin lives up to it! Yes indeed venue coming soon, the stress is something else but all may be sorted and revealed soon! priscilla
And Emma… I don’t seem to be able to reply to people’s comments in the right order… but yes it was lovely meeting you yesterday. It will be great to have you helping out, what with your Phibsboro Oxfam retail experience and your selling vintage patterns on etsy and ebay…
Hey Priscilla
I’m only sorry I live on the wrong side of the Irish sea.
Plus my feet are too large for your shoes (more ugly sister than Cinderella …)
However, I do like the bag that you consider to display strange taste.
I should point out (to avoid future disappointment) that the Queen no longer looks like that.
BTW, there is a brilliant, small, flea market in Place d’Aligre in Paris, where you can rifle through people’s discarded family snaps (which is actually desperately sad, so don’t go there in a melancholy mood).
Hope the shop goes well.
Tracey
Hey Tracey… thanks for the message and for the Parisienne tip…. I went to an auction in Dublin recently, and it had that feeling about it too, with people’s discarded possessions on sale – sad but strangely interesting… Will this happen to my stuff etc.?
p.s. you are the first person to like the bag.
Hi Priscilla, I recognise the cooking pot and ‘these sound much better than they look’, but the rest of the stuff must be hiding in your room! I actually like ‘these sound much better than they look’, my only worry is: can i get them? Can I give you advice that you yet haven’t heard from me:)
so i am the second person, because i am loving this bag! loads of good stuff here by the way. me as a fan of flea markets would totally like to buy everything. i just need to remind myself that i won’t use most of them and don’t have any place to keep them at at the moment. the shop idea is really not a bad idea, kind of courageous act. i can only imagine making a shop like that just for me (i sell and i buy). that’s how selfish a flea market fan can be. so i think you are like a hero to me now. because you are a selfless fan… great job!
Thanks for your comments Maret! I am starting to struggle, as I realise this stuff is going to go for real! People are going to have to convince me to let go of some of it…
Glad you like the site. Keep going to those fleas! and feel free to post up any recommendations you have for great ones to visit…
hey merike…. the rest of the shop stock is “hiding” in my mother’s (big thanks to her)… and yes I am sure you will be able to help me with something in the shop…
I agree, sometimes your taste is a bit off!
The bag should go
Who designs these things?
Who buys them?
Who has a revelation?
Who takes them home again?
Who indeed………..
Hi Priscilla, look forward to helping you out next week, love the site and lotsa the stuff!
hey catherine.. you are getting me thinking…things to talk about over the 3’oclock cuppa maybe.. who has a revelation, indeed?
Thanks for all your help today! designer par excellence!
Hey Gail, looking forward to your help! and to find out what you like and why.. one man’s junk is proving to be another’s treasure alright. So much so that I want some of it back before I have even let it go…
hey priscilla! queen of the chipped dessert plate… who’s your photographer? nice pics you got goin’ there…. very objet d’art!
Hello! glad you like them… the photographer is the same queen of the dessert plate… hope you will find some treasure in the shop when you visit.
you have my personal permission to come visit my mothers home and sell off every piece of old treasure you find§ In fact I beg you, no better woman Priscilla!
This might be my future employment!
Hi Priscilla. I can’t wait to have a good gawk…see you during the week…the posh plate tickles me fancy…
Which one is the posh one? Looking forward to your visit!
Priscilla, I’m gutted I’ll be away during your HelpMe! week . . . but I’ll recommend it to (some of) my friends. What is that “Little Prince” thing? Did you not know I love the Little Prince? And I never fought with you about the heating in the office . . .
What a pity! A show without Monica… The Little Prince thing is a purple cushion with three yellow stars. which reminds me of the cover of that lovely book… you could send one of your friends in to try and win it instead.
No indeed it was not you who fought with me about the heating! It was in Kildare Street. Hope you are well!
I want, no, neeed the gouache.
Well it is there waiting for you, on the shelf labelled… “The Make and Do Never Ends with You!” Come get it!
Hi …..Will see you Sat ! is the whisk still there ? Badly need one ! All looks great!
Yes indeed it is! Someone else had her eye on it but maybe she has forgotten so you may be lucky. Great you can come…
Really enjoyed the visit today – as did my daughter. She wears her ‘Super Girl’ badge with pride and has put all her CDs in the blue box. A lovely relaxing time spent in your shop, very much enjoyed the tea and the chat, Thanks!
hey missus! we really enjoyed the show this afternoon… hope you’re bearing up under the strain of having to keep so many peeples entertained… love my homemade lemonade glasses… looking forward to next year’s al fresco dining season already with these x
Hi Ciara, It was lovely to have ye there. Thanks a million for the great home made baking… they did not last long! Anyhow very glad the badge and box are a hit…
Hi Sharon, I enjoy it! Was great to have ye there. Those glasses will be lovely for summertime. Might have to slip one in my handbag when I visit…
Loved it so different it was nice to have coffee and a chat before work, I dont suppose you still have that Posy Simmonds book that was in the shop cheers!:)
Glad you liked it! Will post up some photos soon…. Yes actually I do have it – I am giving it a read and you are very welcome to have it after that.
Hi Priscilla, pictures of the shop PLEASE. And by the way, lovely dinner for new years and thanks for the new music
hey Annie, your wish is my command! There are lots of photos of the shop up now… yes great seeing you all on New Year’s, much fun.
Love the photos particularly the one which makes the
boiled wool skirt look like a wonderful sculpture..looks like it is flying through the air..like an enclosed angel..it is the magical possibilities of what the image is…that intrigues.
Thanks Jacinta! That’s lovely to hear from an artist. Your show in Cabra was great, more exhibitions in 2011 I hope…. x
