Its a good job I is poor!!!!!

Luckily I live within spitting distance of a local auction house. I often go and view all the lovelies that are on offer, and occasionally I do come home with a few bargains,mostly furniture. Although the auction is stuffed with my favourite.....china...it usually goes for far more than my meagre purse can allow. Thought I would show my blogging friends what delights are offered this week...........
I loved this little chair...........

A stylish ivy set.............
This beautiful large sampler.....I had a feeling I started this exact pattern back in the 80's and never got around to finishing it!
pretty floral china.........
These spotty cushions......might put a bid in for these!

Florals..............
Royals..............
Boxes of stuff......i was in heaven mooching

Look at this delish teapot x

A wonderful vintage tin.....
Its lovely..................
A wardrobe full of delicate lemon utility ware............
A dolls house kit................
A huge green dinner service................
More cups......................
Lovely set I think this was my favourite x x
Cakestands..................
An old train set......................
A lovely pink floral set x
Look ....how cool x
A lovely box of china ....I had a good old rummage and oohed and arrhed!!!
A wonderful table full of goodies..................
Pale pink roses .............
A lovely rag dolly...

Delicate miniature florals..................

The complete set x
This 1930's pattern..............I love it!
A shelve full of very old china............
This elegant dinnerware..................
I loved the pattern on this jug.................
Lovely serving utensils.............
And last but not least.......there was a whole table of these moulds....................
Aren't they amazingly detailed..............

All I can say is I am glad that I have no money as tomorrow I would be bidding on the lot and then trying to find somewhere to fit them in my already cramped house!!!!
What would you choose out of that little lot??????
