Off my E-bay habit! With the invention of Paypal, or rather my discovery of it, things went downhill fast... I just love browsing E-bay, and started treating it as my personal fleamarket. I can spend hours browsing and unfortunately will always find something that I really, really, really need...
These are a few of my most recent finds. I got really into Alfred Meakin stuff, and as that is something you do not find a lot of here in this country, E-bay came to the rescue.

Enjoy a lovely summer weekend!
Hurray - your back!!! I love that plate! Normandy was very lovely - i'll tell you all about it over the next few weeks. What are you going to be doing there? The only downside to the area is that it is VAST and it takes ages to get from one place to the next. xxxxxxxx
