Provisions




In Whitby, stocking up on

Pottering in the rain, found all manner of bits and bobs. Favoured ephemera.
Bit of work to do now.






Transport tokens and Butlins badges are all very well but it's 
these Whitby traders are who I will remember when working their pieces into the next round of jewellery. 




 Graham. His stall is in Lord Cholmley's pavilion.  He once was a merchant sailor and even ventured to Australia.



Carole. A little shop full of treats just across the cobblestones from Captn. Cooks old digs.  She has a lovely smile and rescues cats on the Moors.



Allan.  Tin trains and cars to the rafters in a little collectors treasure trove tucked into a corner of the market square.
Like me, hates a chat! heheh.



Merci et bonnes aventures mes amis!

Hercule and Co.



Comforting, tea and biscuits reading for when I feel my mind is racing.  Ok, so they involve the odd murder.. or two or three.  But I find it ever so relaxing. Some people are horrified.
Meh.
Of course it also helps that I find the cover artwork somewhat beautiful and soothing too.
