I heart vintage crockery..

Our day started at 6am, LV was up like a lark "Mummy I'm hiding, I'm hiding, come find me', I'd have preferred a leisurely lie in, but once she's up, she's up and she's so perky it doesn't usually take me long before I'm bouncing around after her. We got ready for the day ahead, ate breakfast and then we didn't stop ALL DAY, I'm exhasuted.

It went a bit like this:

Writing out playlist for arrival drinks (Wedding)
Present buying for LV's friends birthday party
Taking LV to said friends party
Appointment at florists to discuss Wedding flowers - table arrangements
Charity shop perusal - found two more wedding vases, a lovely tea cup and a lamp shade..yippeee
Lunch at Pizza Express - (LV slept the for the whole meal...this never happens)
Phone call to check on Auction bids...I WON!!!!!
Trip to Auction to collect winnings
Home via the garden centre for compost
Sorting through winnings
Re-potting tomato plants (extra exciting news, there's a tiny tomato on my mutilated plant...seriously against all odds!)
Dinner at Sal & Toms
Collapse

Auction Day.

Friday is my favourite day of the working week, for obvious reasons. There is another reason why I love Friday's though and that's because it's auction day...well, not strictly true, Saturday is auction day but Friday is lot release day! Yippee. I like to view everything online, make a list of rooms/lots I want to see and then wait impatiently for the working day to end and my auction adventure to begin. I have managed to get some great pieces at the auction including a G-plan sideboard, an Ercol drop leaf table with stickleback chairs, a chest of drawers, a floor lamp and a gilt framed mirror all for very reasonable prices. Today I'm on a new mission, a mission to find gorgeous vintage china, I'm doing this for a number of reasons:
1. I love it
2. My hen do is a tea party (to start with) and I need some equipment
3. I love it
4. I'm hosting a Strawberry tea party for Cancer Research UK in July and can use it for this
5. I love it
I think you'll agree a trip to the auction is indeed a must. This is what I'll be keeping an eye out for:

Love

Love

Love.
