Ebay surprise

Most of the time when I sell bits and pieces on ebay, I know roughly what they will sell for. Sometimes they sell for less that I hope and I think that someone got a bargain! Very occasionally things do a lot better than expected.

That happened a couple of weeks ago when I sold this Robert Welch fruit stand. I thought it might be pretty rare but it was not in great condition and it had been languishing in the garage gathering dust for a couple of years after we bought it at a car boot sale for £2.00.

The proceeds will be going towards the wedding/moving house fund!

Old Hall vase

Last sunday I was able to get to my first car boot sale of 2012. I managed to pick up a few nice items but the star find was this unusual chunky stainless steel vase.

It was made by Old Hall and is a Robert Welch design. I think it was part of the 'Alveston' range and dates from the 1960s. It will be appearing on ebay shortly...
