At the market
One of those ‘I’ll have to take this bag back to the car before I carry on’ days. They happen every now and then. Here’s some of my bargains. First up, I bought some stamps, which I’m *very* pleased with and can’t wait to go through. Next, these two vases, £1.00 each.
They were absolutely filthy but to the experienced eye they said, ‘might be Whitefriars.’ Now that I’ve scrubbed them up, I’m sure that they are.
A stack of knitting patterns, £1.50. From the same seller, some cheap and useful stationery and this Doulton ‘Watteau’ plate for my blue and white shelf, £1.00.
More china: Royal Albert ‘Flower of the Month’ for Christmas. £1.50
And how about this? ‘Free books. Please help yourself.’ So I did.
Plus some other quite ordinary things which were still good buys. Phew!
In other news, our mild spell continues. I have the stable door open and it’s warm enough for gardening. The trouble is, everything is dripping wet, which would make the gardening rather uncomfortable. That’s my excuse, anyway.

The vases were a steal, what a lovely colour they are.
Your blue and white shelf must look very pretty and what a lovely plate to add to it :)
The vases certainly were a bargain, but they looked like nothing sitting on the floor in the semi-darkness. I'm really pleased with them.
The plate has joined similar-coloured china on the dresser. You might call it clutter :-)
I think my mum had that cup.
Ooh, a Kate Atkinson hardback for free! And her best novel too (IMO)!
Lucky me! I do love the Jackson Brodie books.
