I am so darn excited about butterflies! It was a nail-biter but I won the framed set of butterflies that I really wanted. The guy sitting right next to me and another lady sitting right in front of me were also bidding. The guy won the first set. He and the lady were bidding on the second set and she bailed out at 60 pounds so I entered the bidding war and jacked up the price to 100 pounds knowing that the guy really wanted them because I peeked at his bid sheet and it had an exclamation point next to it. He won it at 110 pounds. I let him and the lady start bidding on the third, he bailed early (woohoo!) so I entered and figured if I could get it to 60 pounds she'd bail out too and that's exactly what happened! I paid 65 pounds for it and my son better appreciate that he has the bestest, slyest Mum evah! The lady eventually won the last set so we all went home happy.
Craig came with me which is always trouble because we spend twice as much. We also got a walking stick, a telescope, a German Iron Cross, an ice cream tub full of olde British coins including shillings, farthings, crowns, halfpence, etc. and some old and decorative crockery for a steal. What a fun day!
