auction room fun and finds

My first time going to my local auction house and oh my i loved it! I think it could be quite dangerous. i wanted to bid on everything just for the excitement! It moved much quicker than i thought it would - they got through about 600 lots in two hours There is also a section of items that are just for sale. i had my eye on a vintage sewing box - but it went while i was looking around at other bits and thinking about it.
my favourite thing i did bid on and win was this 50's picnic basket. Everything is still there and it is truely beautiful. i am going to sell it on but it will be a sad day when it goes..i can see myself in the country with a vivienne of holloway dress having a picnic. sigh..




then this old lamp - which i will paint and recover. does anyone know a good place on line that can help with how you re cover a lamp shade? help!



a very battered old radio that does not work but for £4 i couldn't resist!
i might go back soon.
great place to kit out a shop for cheap and to buy to sell!
