ee ecky thump rides again...

due to the bodice-ripping success of my first listing... 
I am...
totally changing tack
 and offering the most wonderful chariot...




tell me I'm wrong... 
Is that the most wonderous thing you ever clapped eyes on?



say no more!



film prop, garden feature...




Murder on the Orient Express





Wheels Boudica would be proud of...




and like her I'm taking no prisoners.

The starting price is 

£50

and the auction is open...

Psst... brace yourselves girls...


Vintage has had its day.
You've heard it here first...
or maybe not?
'What makes you say that?' 
I hear you cry...
Well in my...
'I remember that first time round opinion', 
trudging around a fair
last week I felt decidedly under-whelmed with what was on offer.
Stalls topped up with old tat, chipped enamel, faded this, even more faded that.
Don't get me wrong I ought to say here and now, I'm as guilty as the next person, 
with a home full of jaded artifacts...
Me being the main one!

Why are we all so keen to follow the in-crowd.
Have any of us stopped and thought...
'What the hell are we doing upcycling, recycling, bi-cycling?'
Our lemming tendencies make me smile.
Have you noticed the prices are dropping as well?
Economic climate...
or just folk getting bored...
there's only so much vintage a girl can take.
While we're all looking backwards, we've missed what the mirror is telling us...
We're beginning to look the part...
It's called OLD in my book!
