We don't have any sport for a few blissful weeks on our Saturday mornings until the next one starts, so we got up and I thought I might nip into town to a sale. The sale was all household/furniture items from deceased estates, and people just cleaning out their sheds.
I took H with me and we had a fossick around.
Sales are funny. The things you think are going to be expensive go cheaply and the things you think are piles of rubbish go for more than expected.
I had my eye on a couple of furniture items, but some were too expensive.
I spied a really beautiful hand painted Turkish plate (blue and white of course). And I had my eye on it to buy.
I won my plate, but it came with three boxes of rubbish too. I have to go through it properly, but I had a quick look this arvo, and there was a few treasures in amongst the chipped/cracked china from god knows where.

| My plate! |
In the background there is a glass Kosta Boda plate. I have some similar stuff to it at home. I wonder what the hell the previous owner was thinking by gluing felt to the bottom of it! I will have to scrape it off as it ruins the look of it.
I really, really love this plate! It has a hanger, so I will have to find a spot to stick it. Straight after I bought it, a lady came up and started manhandling my plate and saying how gorgeous it was, so I quickly put it in the car!

| Royal Doulton |
Yes, I had some fun. Three boxes of stuff for $15
In other news, I found a spot for my greenhouse.
 |
| I moved it and laid some leftover pavers in there. |
 |
| Baby plants and cuttings |
 |
| Bit of a bad pic, but you can see it is good access to the house. So I don't forget the plants. |
Hope your Saturday was a lovely one!
