HA but these - no sireeee these are a league above dust collectors... These are antique cast fonts in wood. special. They can be used. Yes they can but readers they are also o.l.d. LOOK at them! What serious look of yum ha? Girl friend and I went for a little antique shop drive yesterday and I slyly directed us to a particular shop - having known these existed ages ago... We struggled - well we meaning I actually - struggled to decide what letters I was going to buy. A 'M & S' or this or that... Just the '&' at one inch was $45. Flippity heck!!! SO I had to change the idea and eventually came to this (thank you Karen for the idea - take the credit girl!).
I had to share some of the yum of these and bought one for you my dear readers. Yes YOU. The first issue was what letter do I buy! Really people. So we decided on a number. Then what number - of course number 1. Leave a note and I will draw the lucky winner this time next week.

S&M - sounds kinky if you don't realise it's the initials! Maybe M&S would be more polite!!
Love the hugs and kisses.

Hi Sarah, Making decisions can be difficult!!! I watched a documentary the other weekend about the resurguance of printing with type-blocks as part of the indi-craft movement.
I would love to win this "1".
Gorgeous find, Sarah! I've often admired them when browsing thu' antique and old wares shops. They would look lovely sitting together on a little shelf.
Gorgeous Sarah! What a great find. :)
Ohhhh yeah I'll go in your draw :-) and I look forward to your post re: cream to butter too ;-)
Love them!!! What a find.
Finding something like this in shops makes my heart beat just that tad faster. Enjoy your new purchases.
Happy days.
