Hair rollers etc (Seafield EH7)
Bag of assorted hair rollers. Small and large. Some spongy. Plus plastic pins and kirby grips. Also a hairnet and plastic bonnet. Seem in reasonable condition but they came from a relative's house so I am not sure how old they are.

Concertina (Seafield EH7)
I would like to learn the concertina but I have never tried one. I don't want to buy a nice instrument straight off in case i don't enjoy playing or I get the wrong one (I know there are different types). This is a very big ask, I know, but does anyone have one gathering dust that they would be willing to pass on?

Withdrawn

Light-up tin house decoration (Seafield EH7)
Expired
Approx 10ins/26cm tall. Tin house has decorative holes on all 4 sides so light shines through, see photos. Subtle Christmassy style. Needs LED tealight(s) inside but you will have to provide this yourself as tin no longer has one, sorry. Photos show effect of a coloured tealight. Might make a nice light for a child?
