Ho Hum forgive me because ive sinned , i was bidding on a live auction last week that had one lot i actually needed , won that for a whopping £3 which i was very pleased with . So to me as it was the furthest one i visit , it seemed quite logical to bid on 3 £1 lots that came up after it and i might as well get a little car boot and charity stock for the same amount of petrol . Went yesterday and found that i had bid on huge lots of glassware and had also gained even more that other people hadnt took in fact a full van of glassware which i just chucked into shopping bags to the horror of the staff at the auction. I discovered years ago that wrapping glass is a waste of time you damage far less if you literally plonk them in bags with the heavy bits at the bottom ..lol ..So im sat here surrounded , all the ordinary tableware glass will go to the local bottle bank , you cant give it away . Theres a ton of small crystal that im boxing for the charity shop . Then theres the good stuff which is seriously heavy crystal vases , some modern ones and all the weird stuff im sorting through , theres two nice china tea sets that i may facebook because im insane , and a lot of pretty bits that will sell at the car boot . Smashed one huge crystal bowl dropping a set of crutches on it and maybe two cheap glasses . Ive also got a huge box of planters to sort through , the dining room and kitchen look like a battlefield , im just trying to psych myself up into a crystal washing session , I may try photos later if it stays fine ..lol
Wow, great haul, have fun.
