Etsy Feature

Oh my new work - those 6x6 boxes and the Fragments of life box are getting lots of interest.

I got featured on a Treasury List   L@@K <<<< click on L@@K

Because someone likes your item and picks it for a list it gets lots more visitors. On Etsy its all about getting your items noticed. Hopefully sales soon.

Soon will blog about the auction buys! Three car loads and two trailers full of items. Including a hand operated singer sewing machine with all its tools and the oil can! Standing room only at my house........... soon be starring in one of those hoarder programs we have on the TV ;-p

Very hot here Molly is panting, silly girl keeps going and sitting in the hot sun. We are arguing over sun bathing limits.

Been to the auction in Colchester today, put 20 men's suits in to sell. The last of the 60 I bought. I hope they make a good price.

Not much art..................

Oh sad I have no time for my art. Ebay has taken over, my home is full of boxes. Molly is sharing the settee with three banana boxes full of china. She's such a good girl.

Ebay is nearly full up with my things. So today I have got some of my art onto Etsy.here

I got a recommendation to try Cotswold Mounts here my first order arrived and the mounts are such good quality. Much better than the three shops I have tried locally. So on line mount orders for me from now on. Postage is a bit dear at £7.00 but the courier driver was nice and friendly.

I have a new follower on Twitter randel Plowman he's a collage artist, I follow him on blogger as A Collage a Day. He has a new book due out in the UK in October.

These are for sale on my Ebay 

Very old c1840 Gaudy Welsh Jug, sadly chipped, cracked and crazed, but I hope someone will love it.

Cake stand or tazza by Charles Meigh again very old 1820 - 1840. Hope someone buys this and uses it for weddings or tea parties.

And a large amount of Quilling items a complete set up. Hopefully this link works Ebay

Ants have attempted a squat in the kitchen, defeated with CIF Anti-Bacterial spray. Its got a strong pong, spray loads on the ants spray where they are coming in. Result ants dead in seconds and no returns. Mind you Molly and I exited stage left pretty quick before we keeled over from the fumes.

I have sun burnt toes, forgot to cover them in sun screen at boot fair yesterday ;-p

Lithographic Crayons

Found these in with the craft items.

Well much to my surprise they seem to be a rare item. Not many made now and those that were made are used up and then the pack is thrown out. So hey presto am excellent recipe for a rare item.

Top set - firm still producing today and still in the same premises.
Koh-I-Noor factory still in production, but not this item.
Mixed lot, no idea!!

Going on ebay tonight will be fun to see what happens. Damp squib or yippee money towards new car??
