I found these lovely little wooden clothes hangers in a
local charity shop last week.
Yup! All three for
50p - bargain!! There are two normal
hangers and one for trousers. They are
for children's clothes and so sweet. Of
course I'm already thinking of what to do with them ... paint them white,
perhaps?
After yesterday, I had to show some more from my newly
discovered Ladybird Book collection. Of
course it had to be "The Story of Clothes and Costume". Its from the Ladybird 'Achievements' Book
series. This one was written by Richard
Bowood and was first published by Wills & Hepworth Ltd in 1964.
The illustrations by Robert Ayton are just amazing.
Love this page on "Clothes of Today" - read the
wording - its a hoot!
Going to be an Op Shop Show Off this week and join the lovely Max in
New Zealand. Come on over and share your
brilliant charity/thrift/op shop finds.
Love, Liz

Hilarious! But I have to agree with comfort and good colours!
I have some of those hangers and din't realize they were collectible now. I still use mine
That book would be interesting to read I am sure , I like anything about previous fashion of women
I think you should join in with the Ladybird Tuesday posts Liz!
Love those old books. I can't imagine what would be written about today's fashions for adults and children! x
Thanks for visiting my blog. I collect wooden coathangers too. I find that trousers do not crease when hung on them like they do on skinny metal or plastic ones. What a great find
Haha! Mother wears trousers which would have shocked her grandparents in their day! The good old 60's, huh? Love this find and love those wooden hangers. I can so see them in white:) x
woops! that last comment was from me, I didn't realize I was signed into my son's account still:)
Wishing you many hours of fun with your ladybirds! Thanks for the heads up re the Op shop sharing, I must go and have a wee look,
Love the Ladybird books, many memories for me too.
You could also paste a sticker or paint a pretty design on the hangers after painting them white.
The hangers are darling, but I am completely distracted by the Queenie thing in the background........?!

Love your hangers - they will be darling painted white. Isn't it fun to look at fashions and how they have changed? Love those illustrations - the hoop skirts are just amazing. Not something to sit down in, though! Ooops! The last illustration reminds me of my childhood....Love the car:) xo Karen
