SOAPDISH









There are so many toilet soaps on the market these days with overpoweringly sweet smells that I usually buy something called Simple or Pure with no scent at all.

Then somebody gave me a bar of Royal Jelly soap which has a faint hint of honey. Wonderful stuff.


Obviously this needed an equally lovely soapdish to put it in. And this is what I found. Apparently more than 120 years old, so I gave it a very good scrub :-).
Makes you wonder how many hands have reached for this lid first thing in the morning.

I love the old Victorian or Edwardian bathroom china sets. Next week we are going to Shakespeare country for a day and I am hoping to find a complete set with bowl, jug, tooth mug and yes, of course, another soap dish.

Two great finds in the past week to display on FRIDAY FINDS day.

WHITE ROSE







Found in a little antique treasure house in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
Looks like a candlestick, the kind you take up to your bedroom when the lights don't work, or rather didn't, in the 18th century.
