Do you remember the leaflets I sold on through the blog a while back? Well, to recap, these were part of a batch of tatting booklets sold on ebay. The seller had listed them as 'buyer collects' and when they didn't sell first time she re-listed and then I wrote and asked if she'd mail them to me IF I won them.
Well, we did a deal and eventually at the end of the time I won them fairly and squarely, I paid the extra for mailing them and tat was tat.
Just over two weeks ago I had an email through ebay from the same seller telling me she was listing more tatting leaflets so my ears pricked up big time. I waited for them to appear.
When they did there wasn't a picture and the listing was for '8 tatting manuals'.
Fast forward a few days and still no picture but a list saying just this appeared.
8 pieces
2 books
6 magazines
good condition
sent via royal mail or collection

I waited and waited (no pictures still) and so I asked her for further details and she mentioned the one book that I'd already got (another story about that another day!!!) and a few leaflets. Eventually there was a bid on them and I thought I'd let it all go. Then I took a gamble and put on a very high bid - after all in the last 'lot' there were one or two leaflets I'd not seen or heard of before and this might happen again. A gamble from an OG who isn't a gambler by nature!!!!
Eventually I won - no, I'm not saying what I paid!!!
More on Monday but here's a quick picture for you of the whole lot!!!!!
