Even though you are sometimes covered in broken glass and fried chicken boxes and dog poo.
I like it when your trees are groaning under the weight of their leaves.
And when their blossom carpets the street in pink petals.
Yes. I really like that.
And I like peeking in the houses I wish were mine.
And I especially like it when you give me free gifts.
Like this fireplace guard...
and this coffee table...
and these pictures...
and these books and tins...
and, most recently this suitcase...
which had these vintage wallpaper rolls in them!
All vintage, all recycled and all free.
Little gifts from Brockley! Just for me!

Hi Hannah,
ReplyDeleteGoodness, I'm going to be stalking the streets of Brockers- what glorious finds! Well done you.. aren't people daft for chucking such stuff out. I found a fabby artdeco cupboard on our street a few weeks after we moved in.
And a beautiful ode to Brockley too, cherry blossom always cheers up a street.
Thanks for following my blog!
note to self - must be more observant of skips and junk in street!!
ReplyDeleteSuch great finds.
ReplyDeleteThere should be more odes to brockley like this!
ReplyDeleteAnd what finds...
Totally jealous of your suitcase with wallpaper and your fireguard but also proud of my neighbourhood too! Great post!
