My car boot was a bit under the arm today.

My sister picked up one good paperback 50p
One hardback cecelia ahearn the gift brand new £1.50

and all i got was a barrel shaped barbecue brand new in box - £4 very handy as i was going to pay £4.99 for a disposal tray one as doing a bbq next saturday. I was well pleased.

Off topic but Poundland does the small BBQ disposable trays, they are about the size of A4 paper - great for a picnic

I forgot a couple of things:
John Rocha sequinned top £2
Fred Perry jacket £1

Has anyone been to the one at Salisbury Race course? I'm looking for one to sell at tomorrow - today was awful we made under £20 after paying entry and have come back with everything as it was so wet no-one was buying! Got a play kitchen for £6 am delighted as sooooo much stuff with it!

I havn't sold there but went last year and going tomorrow (weather permiting), its not as big as it used to be as they have moved it up the road from the race course, last year the field was full of cow pats and was a night-mare with the kids in tow, hopefully it wont be as bad this year. When it was at the race course (2-3 years ago) it was huge (100's of sellers) but only half the amount now. might be a good place to sell though but it is 10 pound a pitch which is a bit on the high side.

Hi, today I bought 2 oil paintings, approx A4 size, framed. They are of still life flowers. They are signed but its difficult to read.It looks like ---grasco not sure what the first three letters are, maybe, H or N and maybe IC.

Does anyone know how I can find out the artist? They are actually quite nice and well painted.

They cost me £6 for both.

Has anyone ever been to the Newbury Racecourse sale? I've been told its good but its a long way for me so I'm wondering if it would be worth it or not

On closer inspection Im pretty sure it says 'Magnasco'. But as he was around in the 18th century and I cant see if he ever painted a still life bowl of poppies(?) Im not holding out for it to make my fortune..lol., neither can I find a signature online to compare.

Alessandro Masgnasco apparently painted highly unusual fantasy scenes so I can't imagine him painting some poppies either Maybe it's another magnasco?
