Antique Fair from last weekend

Firstly , many thanks for the kind comments about my last blog. Yes, I like the site as well as it gives good info.
Well I went to the Antique fair in New Brighton last weekend and bought a few things. Firstly, a new Mdina Mushroom . ( Mdina is the factory who make it and are based in Malta ) I've got a few things from them as they make good glass items

I also got a new glass clown to add to the few I've also now started buying.The first one at home used to be in a glass cupboard when I was small ( early 1970's ) but dont know where it came from. It's much better than the ones I've seen since so are still looking for an original. This one is not bad as it goes and looks good on the mantlepiece ..



Note. The eyes are never as good as the original as they look added on later. On the original the eyes look as if they are moulded on with the rest of the clown in one glass piece . Still , this one is better than one I've got that looks as if a five year old did the eyes!

Not a lot else has gone on. Got a call to say I've got some agency work this  next week so earning some real money for now again. Have applied for several new  jobs with the agency , one with a local council on Merseyside. Have tried for jobs with this council before and you wait weeks to hear anything so not holding my breath!
At least no snow here (yet! ) Had frost overnight and the bird bath froze over so had to break it with a small hammer this morning. We get quite a few regular birds visiting every day. Two wood pidgeons, a normal pidgeon, a blackbird, robin and two doves plus a few magpies and starlings now and again. We give them bird nuts which they wait for every morning now and there are fat balls lying around too and mealworms for the blackbird.

Well time to finish now as want to go and watch the rugby on tv. I like watching Ireland play as have been there and have distant relatives in my past from there.
Have a good week!
