Martha Lust Calling

It's snowing in Hereford again! And thanks to everyone who has come out of the woodwork to express their Lust for Martha, keep it coming! The majestic Essie Jenkins sent us a picture of herself, using a fluffy phone purchased for 50p from our favourite shop. She's definitely putting the Lust in Martha Trust!

Blonde hair and Bow ties

One of Dean's favourite Martha trust items is his blue jumper, here is how to wear it with style and look a million pounds for just 2! Keeping the look smart with a bow tie and maintaining a dressed down element with skinny jeans makes the perfect combination.

Tuesday's One Pence Wonders

Hey Lustlings,

Today's one pence box review involves some killer clutter. Dug up from the depths of what has been described as "literally just a bin" we have: A terrifying angel ornament, a tiny plastic sausage dog and an errr... knitted face?



Something about this little Angel isn't quite happy. The level of craftsmanship is, should we say, poor... It leaves one wondering about the suffering child who painted its blotchy eyes with their shaking, under-nourished hands. At any rate we at Martha Lust love it, expect it on our tree next year!

As for the skinny little puppy... WHY ARE ITS EYES RED? I'm guessing it may have been part of an animal testing lab play set.

And then there's that knitted face. Her wobbly eyes perpetually searching for the nose she will never have. Whoever made this was also a little careless with the glue around the eyes. It sort of seems to be crying orange juice or something... This one will be on my mind for a little while, I mean just look at it:



Okay, I'm off to buy a Polaroid photograph of nothing!

One Pence Wonders

Hey Lusters,

This week's 1p box has yielded some particularly good crop! Although this box is mostly full of half-chewed pine-cones, bits of thread, semi-used candles and the Green Ranger's left leg, who cares IT'S ONLY ONE PEE!

We found a toy Zebra, a knitted duck (which fits rather well on to the Zebra) and a plastic Dinosaur! The care and craftsmanship that went in to the dinosaur becomes apparent with closer examination. His chest is embossed with the word 'CHINA' whilst his over large teeth, stumpy claws and massive feet serve to add a sense of excitement to my evening at home.



There's more to come from this box, so look out. If you've found something cool in the box, please get in touch!
