Welcome to Marge's Treasures
A little cabin of wonders — a lifetime of treasures rescued from car boots, charity shops and tips, every one given a second life (and a good polish).
★ Psst — try knocking on the glowing cabin door ★
That's our Marge — always first through the gate ♥
That's our Marge ♥
The magpie-in-chief. She has spent a lifetime rescuing treasures other people throw away — car boots at dawn, charity shops by lunch, and not a bargain missed yet.
"Always first through the gate, always home with a story."

"Royal Albert — the whole set, three quid!!"
The Find of the Week
Every week, one treasure gets the crown — and pride of place on the cabin shelf. This week it's a full Royal Albert china tea set — three pounds, from a chap at the Sunday boot sale who "just wanted rid of it".
Wanted rid of it. Marge's face was an absolute picture.
See what else she's dragged home(Sample story — Marge will be supplying the real legends.)
What you'll find in the grotto
A little bit of everything, and no two visits the same — exactly how Marge likes it.
Proper old treasures
China, brass, linen, clocks — and the odd thing nobody can name. If it's got a story, it's got a shelf.
Car boot wisdom
Decades of dawn starts, distilled into proper advice. Where to look, what to ask, when to walk away.
Tales from the cabin
Stories from HQ — the finds, the haggling, and the one that got away. (She's still not over the hat.)
Bit of this, bit of that
You never know what'll turn up next — and honestly, neither does Marge. That's half the fun.
Fresh from the treasure hunt
The cabin — where the treasures live
Tucked away at the edge of the garden, past the apple trees, sits a little cabin: part shop, part museum, part kingdom. Every shelf is stacked, every box is brimming, and Marge knows exactly where everything is.
(Mostly.)
Soon you'll be able to have a good nose around the shelves right here — without even taking your slippers off.

Don't you dare take it to the tip. Tell Marge first — she'll give it a good home, a polish, and probably a story too.
