No I have not been to a field sale...
No, not a jumble sale.....
I didn't 'accidentally' buy a few boxes at the local auction house......
Oh no I didn't, honest!
And I haven't been on a shopping spree at a flea market....
nor in any Antiques centre.....
Oh no, I have been a very good girl....
None of these things are new arrivals....
I have been having a clear out! And tomorrow I am taking box loads of china and glass TO the auction house!
Oops, my halo just slipped ..... I shall be popping to my favourite field sale first!
Want to see a slightly disturbing photo? Today we went to the Castle and had huge fun with this....
rather silly of us but we did laugh a lot - people are so serious in museums don't you think? I'm all for loud laughter and silly faces! But I won't post the picture of the boy being a little girl with blonde plaits. Oh no. That wouldn't be kind in case any school friends see it. But it was very funny!
Still raining. Do we care? NO! It's the holidays! Just think of all the money we're saving on sunscreen! t.xxx

Some of these things are really lovely, except for the Celery Man. I've got one of those and so has my Nan, I still can't really understand what it's about. I love the Red Rose plate.

Of course, I imagine it works beautifully on husbands, doesn't it?! of course, some people do this with shoes don't they? If they buy a new pair, they have to get rid of an old pair. Which is very sensible. But I'm not at that sensible stage yet! You have obviously reached that sensible stage, well done! Have lots of fun buying things at the auction!
Love Vanessa xxx (do you mind if i knit)
Are you sure you're ok? Do you need a sit down and a cup of tea?!

I've never taken anything to an auction before but It seems more sensible for breakables than listing them on eBay which is what I usually do.
But... the red rose plate ...the girl with the gramophone... (Squeaks pitifully)
I love your button background!
You do know there are self help groups for this kind of obsession don't you..
I think it is called Crockaholics Anonymous!

I have just come across your blog and been thoroughly enjoying a good read. I notice in one of your posts you were sending some stuff to auction. One of the items, I believe was a 'sweet sixteen' dining set or something (young girl in blue pattern). I have the teapot and am hunting for the rest! Any ideas where it may have ended up?
Many thanks
