This will house lots of plants.<br /><br />A beautiful bone china willow pattern tea set consisting of three cups, three saucers and three small plates. These are clearly very old.<br /><br />Two original paintings, one quite large watercolour landscape in a tatty frame (you can have the frame if you like, Angyl) and one small botanical study of a blackberry in what looks like acrylic, beautifully done and framed.<br /><br />A cream bathrobe, very floofy (but missing its belt, damn)<br /><br />A bright red silk dress which looks unworn<br /><br />A blue silk waistcoat (which I shall probably give to my brother)<br /><br />Two pairs of shoes - an unworn cream suede pair and a mint green pair with multicolour wooden soles<br /><br />A pair of black linen-mix trousers<br /><br />A smart-casual black jacket<br /><br />A burnout silk chiffon top in rose and plum shades<br /><br />A ribbed khaki top which I plan to use as the base for a costume.<br /><br />Total cost? £15.50 <br /><br />This insane list of bargains was brought to you by the St Luke's twice-annual sale of 'all clothes, shoes and handbags are 50p'
