H is for How They Come In - The Mixed Lot

So, we've had the first post-lockdown Charity-shop purchase post, but it's been a month now, so there have been three more trips to town, three more trips round the Charity shops, I haven't managed the Phyllis Tuckwell shop as it's keeping limited hours so I keep missing it, and I keep having to queue at Britsh Heart Foundation, but have managed to find a few bits!

I can't remember which shop which lot came from, but there were purchases in the three I got to, and due to the dearth of stuff since March, I grabbed what I could find and there's here in the order I shot them and then collaged them.

Four bears . . . well, to be accurate four bears a rabbit and a duckling! Three makers, no marks, resin, 50p each, probably originally closer to 8-quid a'piece in a jewellers window! The bears were three from one store and one from another.

Nice to get something Portuguese in the tag list, even though it’s probably a contract from 4D (who we've seen before here) abck in China, here branded to CF 3D, and imported by Brindflor of Lisboa (Lisbon), it's very similar to the Kangaroo/Wallaby we saw here a while back - also from a charity shop!

If you're wondering why I took such shitty shots of this on chip-paper, it's actually a sheet of stiff gold paper someone used to wrap some stuff in on a feebleBay purchase, and I thought it would make a good backdrop, but it was matt-gold, and just bleached out under the flash, leaving a rather drab view - soz! It's probably why the box shots are a bit fuzzy too?

P is for Portuguese Pachycephalosaurus!

Schleich cheetah cub; the orange is some kind of staining which I will try to remove with the laundry product for felt-tips and marker-pens! Isn't it lovely!

Finally a bag'O'shite, but it has a bear, two cereal premiums and a Kinder or two, so nothing lost, god knows what the ghost in a pink shell is all about, but I think it may be another cereal premium, glows in the dark, may have a bit of age about it and is clearly missing half its shell  . . . hey-ho! The actually rather well-executed zebra is either a fancy paper-clip or a hair clip!
