This week I enjoyed looking round the shop to find the best of our kitchenalia - useful, decorative and very collectable.
Of course some people have more than others for sale.
I expect that people who make their Christmas cakes and puddings have already been busy - they need time to mature.
But soon pastry will be rolled out to make the mince pies.
Ingredients will be gathered for special yuletide items to accompany the dinner and for things to offer guests.
Below you will find some of the utensils, bowls, jars, tins etc to be found at the moment in the shop.
I can never guarantee that an item will still be at the shop for things sell well.
I know of 3 things from last week's selection of pictures that are no longer with us. One of these, for sure, was as a direct result of this blog.
I must explain to new followers of the blog that pictures can be enlarged by clicking on them and then using your back arrow to return to the main page.
Firstly I will share with you 2 general views of kitchen items from the 2 of us who probably have the most of this sort of thing.
Some of the things you can see on the shelves you will see again as you scroll down.
This shows some of PM's kitchen items.
These shelves back onto the shelves where JW has her kitchenalia.
These can be found in the back room - in what was once a cafe.
Some of JW's kitchen shelves.
Oh and you should see the quite wonderful art deco trolley she has which will make your guests gasp with pleasure as you wheel in the mince pies and cakes!
These items were found amongst four people's shelves.
Tins are always popular and HC has this one with a cute dog and cat for some home made biscuits.
Jelly moulds decorate many modern kitchens in the farmhouse style. The glass one is from JS and the ceramic one is from JC who also has this copper kettle.
The serving cutlery is from JAS.

Reach for your eggs from this Portmeirion chicken.
SBG is selling this along with the cut glass and silver plate sugar sifter.
The delicate little sugar sifting spoon is from AG.
Pound your spices with this Wedgwood pestle and mortar.
You can find it amongst JN's mostly Victorian items.
He also has a selection of cutlery for various purposes.
JN has these French storage containers.
The Hornsea storage containers are from JSB.
Measure out your flour and sugar into the mixing bowl from PM and roll out the pastry with PM's rolling pin.
MC has a lovely little kitchen table - the base is wicker work, like Lloyd Loom. The top has pink check under glass.
MC also has the butter pats.
The scales with all weights are from PM's shelves.
A collection from TJ's shelves.
Wooden sieves look good on kitchen shelves.
The little grater is very old. The utensils may have come from the 1950s or 1960s.
The sweet jelly mould would appear to be quite modern - both decorative and useful.
JW has several interesting Portmeirion items at the moment.
Here we have a Portmeirion rolling pin and an old glass one.
There is a shortbread mould - put a thistle on yours.
The flat iron is from the kitchen of course - ready to iron your apron after getting flour all down it!
She has the large old enamel coffee pot and a lovely Japanese honey pot.
More from JW.
More jelly moulds of course. The white one is enamelled metal.
JW likes to find the very collectable T G Green kitchen ware - becoming increasingly scarce and more valuable.
PM has this modern stand for books, and some older recipe books.
At the moment you can also find a Marmite cook book and an OXO cookbook in her area.
The game casserole is another Portmeirion item.
Fred Homepride became an instant success for Homepride.
People collected all manner of useful items using this form.
PM has the tin and the shakers.
The tin is rare - not often seen.
It would be ideal for storing your flour or your finished cake.
Next week, I aim to feature children - things for them to use or play with as well as figurines, pictures etc.
