The legend of big toot.

I've been booting! And here are the things I got . . .

An enamel teapot and spotty tray - looking perfect alongside some original jo waterhouse ceramics.

A slightly barmy oil painting. Looks like it might be a nice still life of some iced fingers and a glass of wine. I shall call it 'the perfect night in'

Another nice image, a block print this time. Something deeply heroic looking about this person . . . also just a hint of inbreeding around the eyes.

Handsome and simple brass hooks.

Toy tools - for kids to wreak havoc with.

I picked this up and thought - 'gosh, that's so twee' . . . 'ah crap, I've bought it'

A nice melamine dish - that is currently cradling my brand new Sweetheart Hoya plant.

And three of these glorious educational posters!

Thank you Bovril! But which part is your favourite? . . .

Yes! That's my favourite bit too.

A length of Liberty fabric in Bauhaus print. Colours!

And lastly a swarthy, sexy, industrial lighty-job.
That's your lot. Off to market tomorrow - see you there?

  7. Arrgh! Madeleine! You're good!
    I'll try and get them up asap Gina!
    And your holiness: I hate to show you up but . . . it is written on the bottom of the plates. I would really like it to be written across the top though, that would amuse me.
