Typically I know no one who has a car at the moment so I have to pay for a removal van as well, more costs.

look at all the pretty vintage brooches! The fabric I wanted has been bought, so now I am itching to buy something else. I have the Pepin Press book, I got it for under £14 on Amazon through other sellers. Its a good book to look at, even better if you want to try and date your 50s fabrics or look for similair, the CD has lots of images of fabric.
