Pickpocket Thursday

This week we were delighted to find a thank-you note addressed to Dr John from Ruby.






















We're not doctors here at Armstrongs, but we can recommend a 'vintage' prescription that's been handed down to us along with some 70s maxi dresses and the colour of our eyes. Here's an age old mother's recipe for a sore throat:
Add one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper, the juice of 1/4 lemon, and one teaspoon of honey to a cup of hot water. Stir well and drink up to 3 -4 cups per day.

We also recommend looking at a healthy dose of cute dribbling baby photos because silly things make you feel good too...




Bye bye for now Pocketeers!

Pickpocket Thursday

We were quite delighted to find this 'I AM 6' badge on a wildly colourful poncho from the 1970s.

We like to think it belonged to a child who looked something like this....

And imagined a future that is something like this....

These futuristic illustrations of a predicted 2076 world were drawn by children in 1976. You can read the article here. Until next week, Pickers of Pockets!
