On its Way


I had to get this pot unfortunately I had to contend with a phantom bidder who likes to push prices up but never intends to buy, because they always bid days before. So I ended up paying the same amount as you would for a pot in a good condition, but as they hardly come up, Im okay about that.

Full time Worker


My new job is now offering full time so instead of 24hrs its now 32. I kinda relieved it means that I no longer need to keep applying for second jobs and can finally go to the hairdressers and clear my debts in 6months.
So to celebrate I bought another Beswick pottery piece.
First piece from the dancing days collection only £5.05 condition unknown

The Buying continued


Add to the listing of walking shoes, new clothes and a book another piece to the Beswick collection. A teapot and a sugar bowl will complete the breakest service.

I have a smile


I have a smile and it all it took was a chocolate cupcake and a sale on Amazon, so now the long awaited Vintage Costume Jewellery: A Passion for Fabulous Fakes will be on its way to me soon.

I want it


Been on abit of an overspend spree. Bought a walnet mini wardrobe with dressing table £80, A George Petty Print £18.50.
This Beswick Coffe Pot is on for £30.00 a bit high, so only a couple will bid as this collectable should only commend a maximum of £38.00. I like the fact, the seller is so confident of a sale they havnt bothered to crop the picture.

In the Post

Yesterday was a better day I found £1.35 while cleaning, and my Beswick cup and saucer, (technically its a TV set) came it was better then expected, the seller described the plate as having two chips, but score, they are underneath, so not noticeably at all.




My Beswick Circus collection so far, it started with a Toast Rack I bought from Carnaby street for £45, two years ago, in hindsight I should have hold out on Ebay as due to their abundance they were selling for less the £10. I then bought a 3 piece set which consisted of a toast rack, crey dish and sugar pot for less then £20. I sold on the other toast rack and then got the salt and pepper shaker and egg cup.
I'm almost close to a breakfast set just need a tea pot, and a milk jug.
Iv been coveting Beswick Circus every since I saw it in Millers Guide to Collecting the 50's this book was to be my main reference guide for buying vintage in London.
I always, thought it was a shame they didn't produce a book that covered the 40's as well in the same format, after all 40s stuff is still accessible to buy.



Rolo was happy too, he has a thing for boxes and carrier bags, I nice new box to play in for a day.



Whats this? It survived the postman, well wrapped indeed.

GoodBye

Goodbye online diary, you were my source of hope, and a record of the struggles I seem to be born to keep enduring. Part inflicted by myself...
