Typically there are a lot or two in the sale that could be classified under the category of quirky, or unusual & we love to see this kind of thing come through the door. Last Friday we had a big consignment of unusual items which has our whole team buzzing with excitement…..but I can’t talk about that yet, as I don’t have any photos to share!
So, instead, I thought I’d pick out a sample of some quirky or unusual items from yesterday’s auction instead.
