Antiques as Souvenirs

Tourists have collected travel kitsch since the Crusaders plundered their way through the Holy Land.  Postcards, pennants, shot glasses, spoons, as well as,  a plethora of other items have topped the list of must haves from exotic and pastoral locales. These items are readily available at estate sales as they lose their meaning once their purchaser has passed.

I’ve not yet been to London, or any other place across The Pond, but when I read this story of spies and lingerie–

 

Hold on a minute! Did I just say “spies and lingerie”?!

 

Yes; yes I did.

 

Former spy and first female Director General of MI5, Dame Stella Rimington (who went on to author spy novels), has just helped to open a huge historical archive for major UK retailer Marks & Spencer.
