How do you get the time to go round so many charity shops John ? I like to look but there aren't many bargains to be had locally. We found some 'home maker' plates once that we sold on. We also have some of the spitting image egg cups. OH has the rare ones like Ronald Reagan and Maggie Thatcher whic I think is a tea pot. The others were in a crate in somebody's barn I think. We used to collect egg cups but not common or garden ones rare ones with whistles and German marks. They were fun.
