Another Thursday afternoon, another busy ebay listing session. What with the recent jumble sale and the car boot season now in full swing, I've got plenty of items to list on ebay at the moment - and that's without going through my wardrobe and sorting out clothes that are now too big for me (some never worn and with their labels still attached - tsk, tsk!) I'm saving that job until I've finally got myself some new jeans that don't fall down every time I move and then I can judge which tops still look OK on and which ones are now verging on the comic. I'm hoping to take myself down to Basildon tomorrow and have a serious trying-on session in Evans to see what size I should be wearing now (I know I've definitely gone down one size and it may even be two - paws crossed) and, hopefully, finding some jeans I actually like (not always an easy task!!)
Anyhoo, I finally got round to listing this vintage Brexton picnic set that I bought almost a year ago - I paid £5.00 for it at a sale in the local Salvation Army church hall. I nearly ripped my arm out of it's socket carrying it home and it's been gathering dust in the dining room ever since. I'm hoping it will sell well - some on ebay have fetched near on £100, others not so much. Presumably it depends on the colour and the pattern on the china plates and cups so I've no idea how much mine will make. Plus mine does have the handle missing on one of the tea cups and the case itself is definitely looking a little 'tired.' Ah well, time will tell!
I had a nice little find in the charity shop this morning. I'm always a sucker for anything made out of oil cloth and this little make-up purse caught my eye. I only paid 50p for it and when I checked out the make online, I see they sell for £10.00 new, so that was a good bargain.
The print is so vibrant, bold and cheerful that there's no fear of losing it in the depths of my handbag!
Love the picnic hamper, Im sure you will do really well with that on ebay! Scarlett x

If you can get hold of one for a Range Rover cheaply, they sell for lotsadosh in the car enthusiasts magazines. Presumably they will do well on Ebay too. My husband was kicking himself because he saw one and didn't have the money to buy it, as he knew he could make some money on it. Trouble is, there's go to be the right person at the right time to make the money.
