Pigeons for sale!

Today, was Tuesday, which means second hand market day! Huddersfield second hand market is usually quite good but today it was very full.

Mr A.F Horse and I browsed the stalls as usual, although they were much busier today and seemed full of treats and treasures old and new. There were a few things that caught our eyes today, firstly, on one stall there were a few vintage embossers (very similar to the one below). I have wanted one for a little while now but have no idea how you would get your own name on them. I still want one!

The second and most wonderful thing that grabbed my eyes attention was an old post office notice board! I cant say i have ever seen one that hasn't been nailed to a post office wall. It still had a few original, old, notices in it the pigeons for sale was by far the best one!

So, with form, I now desperately want one! it would be an unusual addition to a living room, hall way or kitchen and ideal for keeping letters or notes etc.

Apparently, if I am not careful, when i get a place it may begin to look like a museum of oddities rather than a home....


Here's an example but the one today was red, slightly smaller and much more handsome
